The 2026–27 Premier League season kicks off on Friday when reigning champions Arsenal take on newly-promoted Coventry City at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners are favorites to clinch back-to-back league titles after they ended their 22-year wait for the crown last campaign, and will be eager to avoid an early season slip-up at the hands of Frank Lampard and his spirited visitors. The emphatic 3–0 victory over Manchester City in last weekend’s Community Shield suggests they’ll take no time getting back up to full speed.
