Sky Sports' Ron Walker explains why Manchester United and Arsenal have the toughest start to the new season, and why Pep Guardiola will be encouraged by his early season calendar.

Manchester United will kick off the new Premier League season with a blockbuster Super Sunday game against Arsenal at Old Trafford on August 17, live on Sky Sports.

Man Utd 's horror start...

  • August 17: Arsenal (a) - live on Sky Sports
  • August 23: Fulham (a)
  • August 30: Burnley (h)
  • September 13: Man City (a)
  • September 20: Chelsea (h)
  • September 27: Brentford (a)

The opening-weekend fixture sets the tone for a tough start: United, along with Arsenal, have been handed the joint-hardest start to the season based on the finishing positions last season of their opening six opponents this term.

After taking on the Gunners, Ruben Amorim's side then face back-to-back matches at rivals Manchester City and at home to Chelsea at the beginning of September, before travelling to champions Liverpool on October 18.
