Arsenal Diary: What's in store this week | News

Buoyant from our north London derby success, we’re all set for a busy week at Arsenal.

Our women’s team are in UEFA Women’s Champions League qualifying action before our men’s team begin their UEFA Champions League campaign on Wednesday and Thursday respectively.

Then, Sunday brings about a double header of games against Manchester City in the Women’s Super League and Premier League.

Here’s what to look out for on Arsenal.com and the official app over the next seven days.

Weekend reaction

We’ll start the week by reflecting on the weekend’s 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur. Adrian Clarke will provide his analysis of the fixture and there will be another episode of Bench Cam with the focus on Mikel Arteta and his coaching staff at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Loan Watch will see us round-up how our players out on loan got on with their teams last week.

4.15pm - Jonas Eidevall and player press conference

Jonas Eidevall and a player will be back in front of the media for their pre-Hacken press conference in Sweden on Tuesday. Jonas will provide the latest team news and look ahead to the first leg of our Women’s Champions League qualifier.

6pm: BK Hacken v Arsenal Women

Following our first round qualifying wins against Rangers and Rosenborg, second round qualifying for the Women’s Champions League begins at Bravida Arena on Wednesday evening.

After beating Norkoping 1-0 on the weekend, Hacken are currently second in the Damallsvenskan with 46 points from 20 games.

You can watch the action live on Arsenal.com or the official app.

7pm: Mikel Arteta press conference

As the second half of the women’s game kicks off, Mikel Arteta will be in position at the Gewiss Stadium to look ahead to his team’s UEFA Champions League opener against Atalanta.

One of our players will also be selected to speak to the media, so expect a full round-up of quotes from both right here.

8pm: Atalanta v Arsenal

Our Champions League campaign gets under way at the Gewiss Stadium against an Atalanta side who won 3-2 at home to Fiorentina on Sunday, putting them eighth in Serie A with two wins and two defeats.

Thursday’s match will be shown live on TNT Sports 1.

We will bring you all the pre-match build-up on Arsenal.com and the official app, with our matchday show Live From N5 starting an hour before kick-off. Post-match interviews, highlights and a full match replay will be published after the game.
