The appetite has already been whetted for the top-flight campaign with the news that Manchester United will begin Ruben Amorim's first full term in charge with an exciting encounter against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
Mikel Arteta's Gunners finished runners-up to Liverpool in 2024/25 and head to the Theatre of Dreams to resume one of the sport's greatest rivalries of recent times.
The showdown will be screened live by Sky Sports in the UK at 16:30 BST on Sunday 17 August.
It is our ninth home opener in a row but the first time we have started against Arsenal since before the dawn of the Premier League, the entertaining 4-1 victory back in 1989.
