The 2025/26 Premier League fixtures are out, and Arsenal will face Manchester United in the opening game of the new season.

The two historic English clubs have had many a battle over the years, but they have never come up against each other on the first day of a campaign.

That will change in August, and Mikel Arteta and Ruben Amorim would both love nothing more than a win in the first game of the season.

After waiting to see the fixture list all morning, fans are delighted that it’s going to be Manchester United vs Arsenal to kick things off.

This would’ve been a worrying game 15 years ago, but now, Arsenal are levels above Manchester United, and Gooners are confident that Arteta’s side will come away with all three points.

Arsenal’s last five results against Manchester United in the Premier League

Arsenal fans are extremely confident about beating Manchester United on the opening day.

This would definitely not have been the case before Arteta arrived at the club, but the Arsenal manager’s record against the Red Devils is excellent.

Here’s what happened in the last five meetings between the two clubs in the Premier League.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last five games against Manchester United in the Premier League.

The Gunners have scored 10 goals and have conceded just four in that period, which is a tremendous record against a side who used to hurt them a lot in the past.

That is why Arsenal fans are so confident, and we hope Arteta can continue his good run against the Red Devils on the opening day of the new season.
