As the new season of the English Premier League begins, Arsenal will be looking to lift the trophy for the first time today. Their opponents are the powerful Manchester United. The match will start at 9 pm Indian time tonight at United’s home ground, Old Trafford.
Having had to settle for second place in each of the last three seasons, Arsenal’s only goal this season is the Premier League title. Despite their consistent performance, Mikel Arteta and his team are trying to make up for their failure to win the title.
The team’s goals have the full support of the club management. The squad has been strengthened by bringing in new players during the summer transfer window. The Gunners approach the new season with this strength.
But coach Arteta knows that the road to the title will not be easy. Strong opponents such as Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea are in the competition this time too. Arteta said about this: “There are a lot of teams competing for the title. They are all getting stronger. So this time the fight will be very tough.”
Arsenal are confident of winning the title this time, reversing the disappointments of previous years. The team’s goal is to start the season on a high with a win at Old Trafford.
