2026-27 Premier League campaigns kicks off at the home of the champions

A brand new Premier League season begins with a meeting between two title winners as Arsenal face Coventry City in north London tonight. For the first time in over two decades, the Gunners start a campaign as defending champions and put down a marker last weekend by cruising to victory over Manchester City in the Community Shield.

In the hope of defending their Premier League crown this year, Bruno Guimaraes and Christos Tzolis have been added to the ranks during the summer, while Ezri Konsa is expected to be presented to supporters before kick-off after finalising his £51million transfer from Aston Villa, though Mikel Arteta insists Arsenal's are not done in the market amid links with a new winger. The Spaniard has a virtually fully fit squad to choose from, with William Saliba and Jurrien Timber the only key absentees.

The visitors - who won the Championship in impressive fashion last season - have been dealt a major injury blow ahead of their first Premier League fixture in over 25 years. Follow Arsenal vs Coventry LIVE below with expert analysis from Standard Sport’s Matt Verri at the Emirates Stadium.
