Manchester United might be opening-day specialists but they will be underdogs when they put their incredible record to the test against Arsenal.
The Red Devils have only started a Premier League campaign with a defeat seven times and there will be a great deal of excitement at Old Trafford with the potential of £200m-plus worth of attacking talent set to be on display.
Arsenal travel north knowing they can become the first team in Premier League history to beat United five times on the bounce.
The Gunners are also unbeaten in two seasons against the traditional 'big six' but Mikel Arteta's side have not fared well at Old Trafford over the years, winning just five times in the Premier League, all by the same 1-0 scoreline.
