Sky Sports' Ron Walker explains why Manchester United and Arsenal have the toughest start to the new season, and why Pep Guardiola will be encouraged by his early season calendar.

Arsenal have been handed a nightmare start to their 2025/26 Premier League season with trips to Old Trafford and Anfield to face Manchester United, live on Sky Sports, and Liverpool in their opening three games of the campaign.

The Gunners open the season on Sunday August 17 at Man Utd - kick-off 4.30pm - live on Sky Sports, before hosting newly-promoted Leeds on Saturday August 23.

Mikel Arteta's side's brutal start continues on August 30 as they travel to Anfield to face champions Liverpool.

Arsenal's brutal start...

  • August 17: Man Utd (a) - live on Sky Sports
  • August 23: Leeds (h)
  • August 30: Liverpool (a)
  • September 13: Nottingham Forest (h)
  • September 20: Man City (h)
  • September 27: Newcastle (a)

It does not get any easier for Arsenal in September. They host Manchester City on September 20 before a trip to Newcastle on September 27.

Along with Manchester United, Arsenal's opening set of games is the hardest of any club based on last season's finishing positions of their first six opponents.

The first north London derby is on November 22, with Thomas Frank's Tottenham visiting the Emirates. The return fixture with Spurs is on February 21.

Over Christmas, Arsenal host Brighton on December 27 and Aston Villa are the visitors to the Emirates on December 30. Liverpool are the visitors to north London on January 7, while the trip to Man City is on April 18.
