Premier League Round 1 Schedule 2025/26: Fiery battle between Man United vs Arsenal

VHO - In the opening round of the 2025/26 Premier League this weekend, fans will be able to quench their thirst with a top-notch match at Old Trafford.

Round 1 of the 2025/26 Premier League will begin with the opening match of defending champion Liverpool in the early morning of August 15 ( Hanoi time).

At Anfield, The Kop will host Bournemouth. Against an opponent that has somewhat weakened in terms of force, coach Arne Slot and his team will find it very difficult to drop 3 points.

Putting aside the sadness of losing the Community Shield against Crystal Palace, Liverpool is very confident heading into the new season.

Despite having parted ways with Alexander-Arnold, Luis Díaz, Darwin Nunez, Jarrell Quansah, Caoimhín Kelleher, the port city giant has also spent lavishly to bring in many quality players such as Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez.

Liverpool's goal of defending the title promises to be thorny when other championship candidates such as Man City, Arsenal or Chelsea are also competing with equally strong weapons. Therefore, winning the opening match is considered a mandatory task for the Reds.

But Anfield is not the focus of the opening round of the 2025/26 Premier League. The big battle between the two giants, Man United and Arsenal, is what really makes the stadium excited. After finishing only 15th last season, the Red Devils are determined to get revenge.

Last season, Man United and Arsenal drew 1-1 in the battle at Old Trafford.

Man United’s hopes of competing for the championship are not high. However, the practical goal that the Old Trafford team has set is to be in the top 4, thereby winning a ticket back to the Champions League. Of course, that plan needs to be materialized by clearly improved performance on the field.

This summer, coach Ruben Amorim is trying to clean up his squad. However, the Red Devils are facing many difficulties due to financial problems and declining brand appeal.

Up to now, the Manchester giants have only been somewhat successful in their mission to reform the attack line, when bringing in three new players, Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko.

On the other side of the front line, Arsenal showed their determination to maintain their championship position by filling in the missing positions. Christian Norgaard, Martín Zubimendi, Noni Madueke and especially the "heavy artillery" Viktor Gyokeres were brought in.

Man United have the advantage of playing at Old Trafford, but Arsenal have a more stable squad and better quality players. The Super Sunday match therefore promises to be fierce and will somewhat reveal the true faces of the two teams right from the starting line.

Other strong candidates for the title, Man City and Chelsea, are likely to take all three points.

While The Blues host Crystal Palace, Man City only have to play away at Wolves. If they play to their full potential, the two giants above probably won't have too much difficulty achieving their goals.
