It all gets underway tonight under the lights at the Emirates.

Reigning Prem champions host last season’s Championship winners in their first top-flight match for a quarter of a century.

Rivals , , and will be watching on with a keen eye as they hope the Gunners avoid a banana skin.

It is the first of nine months full of epic goals, , crunching tackles – and hopefully the odd hilarious howler, let’s be honest.

Will be able to go back-to-back? How will , and get on with their new clubs? Can and Bournemouth handle new European pressures? And which of the promoted teams will fare best?

Let’s get ready to rumble with SunSport, Premier League football fans!
