Manchester United and Arsenal lock horns in the most eagerly anticipated game of the new Premier League season’s opening matchday.

The Gunners are looking to lay down an early marker in the title race as they attempt to go one better in 2025/26, having finished runners-up in the past three seasons.

United could scarcely manage a worse season than they produced in 2024/25, so they will simply have sights on improving significantly during Ruben Amorim’s first full campaign in charge.

Andre Onana sustained a hamstring injury in July and had to sit out the preseason friendly matches. The Cameroonian goalkeeper is reportedly ready return to action in the Red Devils’ opening Premier League match.

Sesko could get his first appearance in a red shirt, although it feels more likely he will be among the substitutes given he was not signed until after United had concluded their warm-up games.

Arsenal have Gabriel Jesus out due to the cruciate ligament tear back he sustained back in January. Otherwise, things look good for Mikel Arteta.

Riccardo Calafiori is hoping to be fit and ready, while new signings Zubimendi and Gyokeres should start. Leandro Trossard is a doubt with a minor groin issue.
