Analysis
Arsenal open their Premier League campaign as strong favourites against newly promoted Coventry City. The Gunners were title contenders last season and have an experienced squad — Saka, Rice and Trossard all capable of unlocking a Championship-level defence. Coventry will look to stay compact, but the quality gap at home usually tells in the Emirates opener. Main market: Arsenal to win. Secondary angle: corners — Arsenal average high corner counts in home openers against promoted sides.
