Arsenal are set to become the first Premier League club to play four away matches in the space of just ten days after hosting Liverpool.

The hectic winter period continues at the Emirates Stadium with games coming at Mikel Arteta’s team thick and fast.

The North London club first face a crucial clash with Liverpool in the Premier League before taking on four tough away games in a short space of time.

Arteta will really need to utilise Arsenal’s improved squad depth over the coming days to navigate the team’s way through a tough run of fixtures.

Arsenal face four away games in ten days

Arteta will be concerned by the fact that his Arsenal team are set to face four away games in ten days.

The Gunners are set to face an unpredictable run of fixtures, with four different away trips and minimal turnaround.

First up is a trip to Fratton Park in the FA Cup to face a struggling Portsmouth team, who have just seen one of their best performers, Yang Min-hyeok, leave.

Then it’s to Stamford Bridge for the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea, where Arteta will be eager to get off to a strong start.

Andrea Berta isn’t one to utilise the January transfer window, is that a good sign for Arsenal?

On January 17, Arsenal go away to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League to face Sean Dyche’s relegation-threatened side.

Finally, the Gunners will travel away to the San Siro to face Inter Milan in the Champions League, looking to maintain their perfect record in the competition.

The Spanish coach will do very well for his team to win all four matches, but given the team’s current form and squad options, it doesn’t seem impossible.

Arsenal must fully rotate the team versus Portsmouth

One clear thing is that Arsenal must fully rotate the squad versus Portsmouth, as that should be a game the Gunners win comfortably.

Arteta has recently fielded heavily rotated teams against Club Brugge and Crystal Palace, both of which they won with relative ease.

The likes of Ethan Nwaneri, Christian Norgaard, Ben White, and Myles Lewis-Skelly should all be handed rare starts in the FA Cup third-round tie.
