Both sides would have been hoping to avoid a nightmare start in their quest for glory.

But the mouthwatering clash is just the first of many to kick off the new campaign.

The very first game of the season, which starts on August 15, sees champions Liverpool begin the defence of their title at home to Bournemouth with an 8pm kick-off on Sky Sports.

The next day’s TV games start with Newcastle’s travels to Aston Villa – which will be on TNT – before Man City take on Wolves at home.

On Sunday, viewers can enjoy Chelsea against Crystal Palace followed by United vs Arsenal.

And on Monday night, newly-promoted Leeds go up against Everton.

The other opening weekend fixtures, which are not on TV and start at 3pm on the Saturday, see Tottenham start life under Thomas Frank against promoted Burnley.

Brighton are at home to Fulham, with Brentford travelling to Nottingham Forest.

And finally, Sunderland begin their Premier League return by hosting West Ham.

But the drama is just beginning, with the next set of games seeing Liverpool go to Newcastle, Man City host Tottenham and Everton play their first-ever home game at their new £800million stadium against Brighton.

Heading to the Christmas period, Boxing Day serves up plenty of tasty treats including Chelsea vs Aston Villa and Man United vs Newcastle.

While the first games of 2026 see Man City face Chelsea and Man Utd at Leeds.

Looking towards the final day of the season, which takes place on May 24, there is sure to be plenty up for grabs.

Man United find themselves at Brighton, with Newcastle at home to Fulham.

Arsenal and Chelsea are away at Crystal Palace and Sunderland respectively.

While Man City face Aston Villa, Tottenham take on Everton and Liverpool play Brentford.

The other games are Burnley vs Wolves, Nottingham Forest vs Bournemouth and West Ham vs Leeds.

Liverpool will be hoping that club-record £100million signing Florian Wirtz can help them successfully defend their title.

But they are sure to face another challenge from Arsenal, who are desperate to not finish second for a fourth consecutive season.

Manchester City are also sure to be in the mix once more, having fallen off big time last term before embarking on a major spending spree.

As for Chelsea, they will also be looking to finally push on and challenge for the title after bolstering their squad ahead of a Champions League return.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are ready to make amends for their dismal performances under Ruben Amorim last term.

And Tottenham will usher in a new era after hiring Brentford’s Thomas Frank to replace Ange Postecoglou — who was sacked despite winning the Europa League final.

ARSENAL will face Manchester United on the opening day of the new Premier League season.

It’s the start of a horror opening run of fixtures as Mikel Arteta looks to finally get his hands on the Premier League title.

SUNDAY TIMES

The Gunners kick off their campaign against Manchester United[/caption]

The 2025/26 campaign commences on Friday, August 15, and will run through to May 24, 2026.

Arteta‘s troops have finished their last THREE domestic campaigns in second place, with Manchester City and, most recently Liverpool, pipping them to the title.

The north Londoners will be hoping to go one better this coming season and end what will be the club’s 22-year wait for domestic glory.

And they’ve learned how their 2025/26 season will pan out.

First up is a trip to Old Trafford to kick off a difficult opening month, with newly promoted Leeds the first visitors to the Emirates.

A trip to Liverpool follows next in an early title clash – so Arteta will be keen to complete his transfer business early.

The tricky start continues after the first international break with Nottingham Forest and Manchester City the next two sides to visit North London.

Then the Gunners travel to Newcastle in what could be another top of the table clash.

It marks an incredibly hard start to the season for Arsenal – who memorably were given a tricky few opening matches last term as well.

October brings a London derby theme with games against West Ham, Fulham and Crystal Palace.

But fans will have to wait a little longer for the North London Derby this year – Arsenal host Tottenham on November 22 with the return fixture on February 21.

A trip to Stamford Bridge follows while Arteta’s side take on Brighton and Aston Villa over the festive period.

Premier League champions Liverpool come soon after on January 7, with United also playing at the Emirates in the same month.

Arsenal’s campaign finishes in much kinder fashion to how it begins, with clashes against Fulham, West Ham, Burnley and Crystal Palace in May.

Arteta will hope to field a wealth of summer signings for his troops’ first domestic match of what could be a make-or-break season for his tenure.

The Spaniard has yet to sign any reinforcement but has promised the Emirates faithful to expect several arrivals in the coming weeks.

He said of the transfer window: “It’s going to be a big one and we are very excited about it.

“The way we planned the first five summers, they were going to be very big and they were going to have different objectives.

“In the beginning, there were a lot of players with three, four or five-year contracts.

“So the turnaround of the squad and how you visualise the next five years was very dependent on that.

Mikel Arteta has promised a ‘big’ transfer window for Arsenal this summer[/caption]

“There are certain positions we didn’t expect to have someone like Ethan Nwaneri or Myles Lewis-Skelly contributing to, which has been great.

“The way you start to evolve, you start to master certain things then the changes cannot be that much.

“That’s where we are. The line now is thinner, the margins are smaller.

“But the cost of that, as well, increases. So it goes a little bit in a different direction.

“We want to increase the depth of the squad.

“But as well, we want to increase the quality and the skills we need to go to the next step.

“It’s a big summer for many things because first of all we have to maintain the good foundations that we have and then obviously how can we improve and evolve the team.”

IRISH Rail commuters this morning faced delays after services were suspended due to horses on the line.

The Maynooth/Sligo/M3 Parkway line was affected by delays and a cancellation.

And Irish Rail bosses warned that the incident would cause knock-on delays throughout the morning.

A spokesperson for Irish Rail said: “All services are temporarily suspended through Clonsilla until further notice due to horses on the line at Clonsilla.”

They added: “Maynooth/Sligo/M3 Parkway line services remain temporarily suspended through Clonsilla due to horses on the line.

“Dublin Bus honouring valid rail tickets. Knock on delays and disruption expected.”

Staff on site removed the horses from the line shortly before 8am this morning – but commuters were warned to continue to expect delays of up to 45 minutes.

The 8:03 Connolly/Maynooth train was cancelled due to “knock-on delays and disruptions following horses on the line” at Clonsilla earlier this morning.

Irish Rail said: “Delays expected to ease as we regulate services back to schedule.”

Separately, other services across Ireland are delayed due to a “train failure”.

The 07:35 Heuston/Galway is operating with reduced capacity whilst the 08:12 Newbridge/Heuston will commence from Hazelhatch.

Affected passengers will be accommodated on the 05:15 Westport/Heuston.

And the 07:45 Thurles/Limerick train is returning to Limerick Junction due to a power failure between Dromkeen and Killonan Jct.

Meanwhile, those travelling by car are also facing delays this morning.

There is congestion between J16 and J13 alongside more between J11 and J6 on the M50 Northbound this morning.

Those heading Southbound can expect delays between J5 and J7.

There are also delays on a number of routes approaching Dublin this morning.

Congestion has been reported on the N3 at Finglas, Blanchardstown, Liffey Valley and Newlands Cross.

Commuters in Cork are also facing delays.

There is congestion between J9 and J10 on the N27 and at Carrs Hill on the N28.

PEP GUARDIOLA has confirmed Jack Grealish’s Man City exit plan.

And he revealed what the £100million man must do to rebuild his career.

Reuters

Pep Guardiola sent a clear message about Jack Grealish’s future[/caption]

Grealish, 29, joined City from Aston Villa for the club-record fee in 2021.

He has won three Premier League titles at the Etihad and played a key part in the 2022-23 Treble-winning season.

However, Grealish managed just 715 Prem minutes last season and made seven starts – chipping in with one goal and one assist.

The England international added four goal involvements in the FA Cup but was noticeably snubbed in favour of debutant teenager Claudio Echeverri when City trailed Crystal Palace in the final.

SunSport exclusively revealed Grealish was told he is no longer part of Guardiola’s plans – and would be snubbed from the squad at the Club World Cup.

Guardiola was quizzed on his stance and the latest on Grealish when he spoke to the media ahead of their Wednesday Group G opener against Wydad.

And he confirmed it was decided for the best that the playmaker did not travel to the United States.

Asked if Grealish’s future is away from the Etihad, the Spanish manager said: “I don’t know. Now we decided ‘don’t come here’ and what happens in the end I don’t know.

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS

“If we don’t find [a transfer], he’s a player for Man City and he will be back.

“He had a conversation between him and the club and they decided it was best [to miss Club World Cup].

“Jack is an exceptional player. The only reason why he didn’t play last season is of course my decisions.

“We decide that he has to play. The club was honest, he was honest.

“Incredible love and respect and we decided the best is to stay [behind] and have a place that he can feel like he can come back to be the player like he was in the year of the Treble or all his career in Aston Villa.

“Without him, it would have been more difficult in the year of the Treble.”

Greal interest

SunSport also revealed both Newcastle and Bayer Leverkusen are considering moves for the former Aston Villa captain.

Everton may also test the waters to lure him to their new stadium.

Now we also understand Napoli could make a £45m bid for Grealish where he would reunite with Kevin De Bruyne.

And Guardiola has given Grealish the blueprint to reigniting his football fire.

The boss advised: “The fact is in the last two seasons, he didn’t play many minutes.

“He has to come back to play and have the butterflies in his stomach that he can play every three days, every three days and show again the quality he has.”

MEGAN Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have revealed the adorable name of their baby daughter months after the tot’s birth.

The former couple, who split back in December, claimed they are “so happy to be parents together” despite not being an item.

Now stunning actress Megan, 38, and iconic chart start MGK, 34, have made public their daughter’s moniker.

The Rap Devil hitmaker, real name Colson Baker, took to his Instagram grid to upload a video showing him playing a ukulele.

A crib, believed to be that of his little girl, can be seen in the corner of the clip.

He asks the tot: “You ready? Yeah” before playing out a tune, as they rocked in the chair and issued a supportive gurgle.

In his caption, the My Ex’s Best Friend vocalist let slip his first child’s name and wrote: “Saga Blade Fox-Baker.”

He added a tribute to actress and model Megan and wrote: “Thank you for the ultimate gift @meganfox.”

The comment emphasizes how the couple are back in a good place, despite the bitterness of their break-up.

“No matter how they’ve felt about each other, they have always wanted to have a child together,” a source recently told Us Weekly.

“They have both been communicating and are in a good place.”

A source also added to People about Megan: “It feels magical to her that she now has a baby girl too.

“She’s doing great and over the moon about her baby girl.”

BACK ON?

Meanwhile, it has also been revealed whether or not Megan and Machine Gun Kelly will rekindle their romance.

Revealing how the former couple will navigate being parents, the source told People they are planning on “co-parenting” together.

“She won’t be getting back together with him,” the source bluntly affirmed, dashing any hopes of a romantic reunion for their fans.

Back in December, Megan called things off with her baby daddy after finding “upsetting” material on his phone, as per TMZ.

After their split made headlines, it was claimed that MGK wanted to reconcile, but Megan did not.

Speaking to Us Weekly at the time, a source said: “MGK would like to reconcile, but Megan is firm in her decision to move on.

BABY DAUGHTER BORN

MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, announced the exciting news of the couple’s baby’s arrival on social media.

e made the announcement to his Instagram followers as he shared a black-and-white video holding his little one’s tiny hand.

“She’s finally here!! our little celestial seed,” MGK captioned the sweet post.”

The words initially sparked confusion, with some believing the little girl was called Celestial.

Taking to his Instagram Stories, MGK added that he “composed the score of the birth” with best pal Travis Barker.

MUIREANN O’Connell has praised a brave Ireland AM guest after she detailed her horrific assault during a tear-jerking interview.

Hazel Behan, who accused Madeleine McCann prime suspect Christian Brueckner of raping her at her home in Portugal in 2004, sat down with Muireann and Tommy Bowe yesterday in the Virgin Media studio.

Hazel detailed the horrific sexual assault she experienced 21 years ago[/caption]

Muireann and Tommy were emotional during the interview[/caption]

The Dubliner, then aged just 20, was tied up, whipped and raped repeatedly for up to five hours by a knife-wielding intruder who broke into her apartment while she was working as a holiday rep in Portugal’s Algarve in June 2004.

Brueckner’s expected release from his current conviction comes a month before Hazel will discover the outcome of her High Court appeal in Germany against his acquittal last October for raping her, another woman and girl in Portugal in 2004.

Hazel explained, on air, how she had walked home by herself after arguing with her then-boyfriend and fell asleep in her bed.

She was then woken up to a masked man dressed in all black, who was carrying a knife, standing over her.

The 41-year-old said: “I just instantly froze. I couldn’t quite get myself together.”

Muireann replied: “How could you? I’m really sorry. You were doing a job that so many of us have done. I’ve only walked home from nights when you work in Greece or Portugal or Spain.”

Hazel went on to say: “And I didn’t walk down the main street or miles by myself. Not that it would make any odds, but I literally walked across the road.

“He told me not to scream. I think there’s this innate thing in us that you’ll fight back if you feel that you have a chance to win. But I knew instantly that I didn’t. I knew I just wouldn’t have had a chance against this person.

“So I complied really and he was very methodical. He knew exactly what he was there for. He knew exactly what way he wanted me to be positioned to be in certain shots, because he set up a video camera and recorded everything that happened.”

Hazel said the “only time” she refused to do something he asked was when he wanted her to go into the bathroom.

She explained: “I just had this idea that if he brought me into the bathroom, that that was it.

“So he positioned me in a kneeled position over a small little bench sofa thing in the room and placed my head. I was head down on the bench.

“I know how dramatic it sounds but when you think of somebody standing over you all in black with a mask and a knife and positions it in a certain way – I just honestly thought he was going to just take my head off. I really did. But he didn’t, obviously. And he got a sheet from my bed and covered me with the sheet.

“Essentially, he packed up everything, stepped out backwards into his shoes. And I didn’t know he had gone because the reflection of the light from inside the room on the window of the dark, I couldn’t see outside. But he had, thankfully, and I managed to get out of the room.”

POLICE FAILINGS

Muireann replied: “I mean, incredible. You went down to a reception in the hotel. The police were called. They take you up to the room. There was no English interpreters. Your experience with the Portuguese police sounded horrific, to say the least.”

Hazel has taken a case to the European Court of Human Rights over what her lawyer called the “systematic and inexcusable failings by the Portuguese authorities that has denied her, and others, justice”.

In her case, she alleges that Portuguese police failed to seize the blood-stained bed sheets and broken false nails from the struggle with her attacker, which plainly contained important forensic evidence.

When asked what she hopes to “achieve” by doing this, she replied: “I’d love to be able to wave a magic wand and just see people in mandated positions, police, legislators, justice system to just do better by particularly women and children, but for everybody.

PARENTING NIGHTMARE

“And I think sexual assault, any form of gender based violence affects us all. If you’re lucky enough not to be on the receiving end of it, the likelihood is that you will know somebody who is.

“The last thing that you would want is your daughter… you don’t want to be my dad, my mother, who sent me off at 20, safe in the knowledge that I was gone off to make all these memories and have the summer of my 21st birthday.

“And the gasp that came out my dad’s breath is something.. when I told him on the phone, what had happened to me is something that has laid heavy on my world and his.

“So now, as a parent, I can’t change what happened to me – there’s no going back, there’s no rewriting it. But heaven forbid something would happen to my girls. I would like for them to be treated with the very, very basics, just with some dignity.”

‘BRAVE AND STRONG’

A short segment of the emotional interview was posted on Ireland AM’s Instagram page.

Muireann re-shared the video and said: “To hear Hazel talk about her rape… to be eloquent about something so horrific, terrifying and dehumanising is quite simply astonishing.

“Thank you for talking to us Hazel.”

Ireland AM viewers flooded the comment section with support and praise for Hazel.

Hilda wrote: “You are incredible, brave and strong. I’m so sorry this happened to you and that you were treated so badly in the aftermath.”

Martha said: “This brought tears to my eyes… horrific for this to even happen, and to still have no justice is just so wrong. I hope justice comes soon. Well done on sharing your story and for fighting all the way. Best wishes to you.”

Niamh wrote: “Your strength in telling your story has brought tears to my eyes. Wishing you get justice for the horror that was inflicted upon you.”

AIR India crash investigators believe an emergency power system kicked in – raising questions about whether the engines were working properly.

A raft of analysts now agree that a small turbine generator deployed as the Boeing 787 went down, after a “game-changer” video emerged.

Days after the catastrophe which killed more than 270 people, a HD video surfaced showing a “protrusion on the belly of the aircraft” with a “little grey dot” beneath it.

Commentators say this was a system called Ram Access Turbine (RAT) poking out from the fuselage of the plane, which failed to climb more than 450ft.

Commercial airline pilot Steve Schreiber, known as Captain Steve, explained: “Many aeroplanes have it. It is just behind the wing on the right side of the aeroplane, there is a little door that holds it in.

“It looks like a little Evinrude motor, it’s a little two bladed prop.

“The purpose is to provide electrical and hydraulic pressure for the aircraft on an extreme emergency.”

Steve explained there are three things which could cause the RAT to deploy on a 787: “A massive electrical failure, a massive hydraulic failure, or a dual engine failure.

“But I think the fact the aeroplane is mushing out the sky gives the idea it was a dual engine failure,” he said.

Other analysts agree that the RAT system deployed, and that the most likely cause was duel-engine failure.

Anthony Brickhouse, a US-based aerospace safety consultant, told the Wall Street Journal that the most common reason the propeller comes out is because the pilot thinks both engines have failed.

However, he reiterated this is highly unusual, telling the paper: “In commercial aviation, a dual engine failure is extremely rare.

“Our engines today are more efficient and reliable than ever.”

While there is growing consensus over the RAT deployment, investigators haven’t confirmed whether engine, hydraulic or other problems triggered the emergency system.

And it may be some time before we get an official diagnosis.

India’s Ministry of Civil Aviation said the accident remains under investigation and that more information would be provided in due course.

Air-accident investigations can take more than a year – and even then will often point to a number of contributing factors.

Meanwhile, both of the black boxes have now been recovered.

One records flight data, such as altitude and speed, whilst the other monitors the cockpit sound.

The first was recovered from a rooftop near where the plane came down just 28 hours after the crash.

And the second is expected to reveal the pilots’ panic as the plane went down.

We already know that the pilot, Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, made a desperate mayday call to air traffic control in the moments before the disaster.

He cried out: “‘Thrust not achieved […] falling […] Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!”

The two pilots then wrestled for 17 seconds with the controls as the jet sank through the air before careening into the buildings below.

Sabharwal had 22 years of experience and had racked up 8,200 in the air.

The plane gained just a few hundred feet of altitude when the power apparently cut out, killing more Brits than any air disaster since 9/11.

Despite more than 270 people dying in the catastrophe, the pilot has been credited with saving “dozens of lives”.

Sabharwal diverted the jet at the last second to avoid slamming into a three-storey apartment building, according to locals on the ground.

All 18 families in the three-storey building under the flight path are convinced they owe their lives to Captain Sumeet Sabharwal.

He managed to divert the plane towards a patch of grassland.

The locals raced from their homes in Ahmedabad when a fireball from 90 tons of aviation fuel ignited as the plane slammed into the ground.

The aircraft obliterated the top two floors of a disused four-storey military building.

But the fire tore through the college’s hostel, killing dozens of students and staff who were having lunch in the canteen.

BRITS are set to pack out beaches across the country today with temperatures set to soar to glorious highs of 29C.

Met Office officials expect the balmy weather to continue over the weekend, with heatwave conditions “likely”.

On Tuesday, sun-seekers were seen lapping up the rays on Bournemouth beach, while revellers lounged on the grass at Royal Ascot.

Similar scenes are expected across the country today, with bikini-ready Brits set to soak in highs of 29C in London and 25C in Wales.

Forecasters predict that those living in the East of England will likely see the highest temps.

The mercury in many parts of the UK will range between 25C and 30C later this week, but the capital could see temperatures reach as high as 33C.

Meanwhile, the Met Office has said heatwave conditions are “likely” this weekend.

A heatwave in the UK is met when a location records a period of at least three consecutive days, with temperature values meeting or exceeding the heatwave temperature thresholds.

Across the north and west of the UK this is 25C, and across Greater London and the Home Counties, 28C.

The UK’s June temperature record stands at 35.6C, which was set in Southampton in 1976.

Current forecasts suggest the record is unlikely to be broken this time – but it will come close.

England and Wales will see temps in the low 30s and those in Scotland and Northern Ireland will see mid or high 20s.

It will get hotter as the week goes on, with the scorching temperatures peaking on Sunday.

A yellow heat health alert has been issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) for seven regions of the country.

The following areas will be under the alert between midday on Thursday and 6pm on Sunday: Yorkshire and The Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East England, the South East, the South West and London.

A yellow alert is the lowest, behind amber and red, on the UKHSA’s system, but warns of a possible rise in deaths among those aged 65 and over or with health conditions.

The UKHSA added an increase in demand for health services by vulnerable people is also likely.

Dr Agostinho Sousa, head of extreme events and health protection at UKHSA, said: “Our findings shows that even moderate heat can result in serious health outcomes, especially for older adults, and it is therefore important that everyone takes sensible precautions while enjoying the sun.”

He added that for people with vulnerable family, friends, and neighbours, it’s important to check in on them and ensure they’re aware of the forecasts – and are following he necessary advice.

Almost all the affected areas have been given a risk score of 10 out of a possible 16, which indicates “significant impacts are possible” due to the high temperatures.

The main risks posed by a very hot weather are dehydration (not drinking enough water) and overheating, which can make symptoms worse for people who already have problems with their heart of breathing.

The London Fire Brigade has also warned that the scorching weather will increase the risk of wildfires.

A little rain has been forecast throughout the period, and there may be some isolated thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday.

High temperatures are expected to fizzle out into next week, but Southern parts of the UK may remain very warm.

The new EV model from Nissan is expected to provide a range of up to 375 miles on a single charge.

 It will have dual 14.3-inch displays, flush door handles for better aerodynamics, and liquid-cooled lithium-ion batteries.

The batteries will be powered from Britain’s newest gigafactory, AESC, situated next to the Nissan plant in Sunderland.

This is where the vehicle’s hub for production will be as the company’s UK factory with a team of 6,000 people.

It comes after the new EV was engineered at their research and development centre in Cranfield, Bedfordshire.

Senior Vice President of manufacturing and supply chain management at Nissan Motor Manufacturing, Alan Johnson, said: “It’s with immense pride that we unveil the third-generation of our pioneering electric Leaf, 12 years after we brought EV and battery manufacturing the UK.

“It’s a testament to the skill of our world-class team that we can bring into mass production a vehicle with such advanced technology and aerodynamic design.”

Managing director of Nissan GB, James Taylor, said: “Leaf is a pioneering electric vehicle that has encouraged thousands to make the switch to electric motoring – and best of all, it’s built here in Britain.”

This new Leaf model is reported to be engineered and fine-tuned for the needs of European customers.

Nissan’s EV36Zero project hopes to bring three electrical vehicles at three gigafactories in their move towards becoming carbon neutral by 2030.

It includes a new fully electric Nissan Micra that was designed in London, which will go on sale later this year.

A smaller city car from will also be launched in 2026.

However, over the last year Nissan has reported significant losses and announced plans to close down production plants and cut thousands of jobs.

They confirmed last month that it will close almost half of its factories in the next two years.

On top of that, it’s workforce is expected to be reduced by a total of 20,000 employees between 2024 and 2027.

These changes will result in Nissan having only ten factories worldwide from 17.
