Arsenal face Manchester United in the opening match of the Premier League season as they look to claim an impressive first day victory. Having already seen both Liverpool and Manchester City score four apiece in their opening-game wins, the pressure has somewhat already ramped up.
Mikel Arteta will be able to unleash his new signings on the day, with a lot of attention on the striker department. Viktor Gyokeres and Benjamin Sesko could face off against one another, but for some time, it was believed they'd be wearing the opposite shirts.
Max Dowman, Leandro Trossard and Martin Zubimendi have all been spotted with the travelling squad up to the north west. The latter pairing a boost to Arteta - with both suggested to have been fighting this week for fitness.
