Is Man United vs Arsenal Premier League Game Live on TV? Know Channel, Start Time and Lineups

Manchester United will face Arsenal in the highly anticipated match of the opening weekend of the 2025/26 Premier League season. The game, taking place at Old Trafford, is scheduled for Sunday, August 17, with kick-off set for 4:30 PM BST.

Arsenal, looking to contend for the title under Mikel Arteta, has brought in Viktor Gyokeres, who is considered the "perfect match" following his £64 million transfer from Sporting CP. Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim, desperate for results after a disappointing debut campaign, has a revamped front three consisting of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko, which could accelerate the team's development.
In addition, Martin Zubimendi adds quality to the Gunners' midfield, while Noni Madueke provides another wide option, enhancing the team's performance. Benjamin Sesko is set to make his Premier League debut, with Mbeumo and Cunha likely joining him in the new-look front three. This formation may push Bruno Fernandes into a deeper role. Joshua Zirkzee and Andre Onana are expected to recover from minor injuries and be available for selection, though Noussair Mazraoui (hamstring) and Lisandro Martinez (knee) will not be part of the squad. Viktor Gyokeres will lead the line for Arsenal in his own Premier League debut. Kai Havertz has also impressed during pre-season and serves as an additional option for Mikel Arteta. Leandro Trossard should recover from a groin injury in time to participate, while Gabriel Jesus remains sidelined as he continues his recovery from a serious knee injury.
