The start of a new Premier League season is always something to relish, but this year the fixture computer has thrown up a doozy as we get 2025/26 underway at Manchester United on Sunday (4.30pm UK).

It’s a fitting occasion as we embark on our 100th consecutive top-flight season against familiar foes, but with both teams ready to unleash their big-name summer arrivals, there is set to be a fresh feel to this famous fixture.

We’ve been handed an away opener for the fifth time in the last seven years, but we’ve won five of those and are currently on a 14-game unbeaten away run in the Premier League, stretching back to last November. With Old Trafford and Anfield our first two away destinations, maintaining that record could be an early-season boost as we aim to hit new heights after three seasons as runners-up.
