Arsene Wenger’s side start the defence of their FA Cup crown with a third round trip to a Championship team currently without a permanent manager
The FA Cup has offered welcome relief for Arsenal in recent years and they will start the defence of their crown in 2018 with a trip to Nottingham Forest.
Arsene Wenger’s side have lifted the famous trophy in three of the last four seasons, with a triumphant campaign in 2017 helping the Frenchman to quieten his critics and earn a new two-year contract.
Further success will be expected in north London this term, as the Gunners look to enjoy another productive run through cup competition, with the Carabao Cup and Europa League also providing potential paths to silverware.
