The 2026/27 Premier League begins in earnest this evening with the reigning champions, Arsenal hosting the side that won the Championship trophy, Coventry City.
The Gunners have looked to improve their squad this summer in a bid to retain their title and they will hope for an impressive result in their first game of the new campaign.
Expectations are probably a little different for the Sky Blues, who will just be looking to stay in the division. It’s a daunting task for Frank Lampard’s side but exactly the kind of game they will be relishing after winning promotion.
Will Arsenal kick off their title defence with a victory or can Coventry start the season with a shock?
You can get enhanced odds of 50/1 on Arsenal to win the game, with this special boost from Sky Bet.
