The curtain lifts on the 2026-27 Premier League season on Friday and it is reigning champions Arsenal that kick it all off against newly promoted Coventry City. It has been a busy summer on and off the pitch for the Sky Blues as Frank Lampard and his side gear up for their first game in the top flight since 2001. Survival is inevitably the target, but after watching Sunderland and Leeds achieve that and more last season, there is perhaps more optimism around their chance of staying up going into this campaign.
Gary Neville won eight Premier League titles at Man Utd (Picture: Getty) Gary Neville believes the ‘brilliant’ signing of Bruno Guimaraes has already ‘secured Arsenal the Premier League title’. Mikel Arteta’s side are bidding to retain their Premier League title after being crowned champions of England for the first time since 2004 last season. Brazilian midfielder Guimaraes completed a £75m move to the Emirates Stadium earlier in the month after ending his four-year spell at Newcastle United. Guimaraes, who has 48 caps for Brazil, helped Newcastle qualify for the Champions League and win the Carabao Cup during his stint at St James’ Park.

Manchester United legend and ex-England defender Neville has praised the ‘brilliant’ signing of Guimaraes and says it only reinforces his belief that Arsenal will retain the Premier League trophy. The Gunners kick-start their title defence on Friday night when newly-promoted Coventry City, managed by Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, visit the Emirates Stadium. ‘I would have backed Arsenal for the Premier League anyway but I think the Bruno Guimaraes signing just secures the title for Arsenal,’ Neville said on The Overlap. Arsenal signed Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle United (Picture: Getty) ‘I love him, he’s a massive, massive character and personality. I think that’s a massive addition. ‘The Guimaraes signing is massive, he’s a brilliant player. To get him from Newcastle United for £75m, that’s a big signing.’ The arrival of Guimaraes has left Arsenal with arguably the best midfield in world football, with Arteta already able to call upon the likes of Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Merino, Eberechi Eze and Myles Lewis-Skelly. Arsenal thumped Man City in the Community Shield (Picture: Getty) Asked about the strength of Arsenal’s midfield ahead of the new season, World Cup winner Merino added: ‘Honestly, it’s unreal. Probably the best midfield in football. ‘The amount of quality that we have there, with every player that can come on the pitch and make a good shift. It’s great. ‘That’s good for the team. That’s good for the squad. It raises everyone’s level because if you have a bad day, the one that is close to you is going to do a great job. https://www.instagram.com/p/DcHFCUQiFKv/?hl=en&img_index=1 ‘I think we have an amazing squad. The hunger is still there. Not because we won it last season, we’re going to be happy with it. ‘We want more and more and more and we want every trophy possible. That’s the best quality of this team. Not only the amount of depth that we have, the quality that we have in every position, but that hunger.’ Discussing Guimaraes specifically, Merino added: ‘Amazing signing. He has proved throughout these years how good he is at Newcastle. ‘He showed it in pre-season as well. A lot of composure, technical ability, a lot of defensive effort as well. ‘So it’s a very good signing. A top player, but we have many of those in this team. So everyone that comes to help the team is welcome.’ Guimaraes followed Greek winger Christos Tzolis and back-up goalkeeper Illan Meslier to Arsenal this summer, while Piero Hincapie also put pen to paper on a permanent contract. Arteta is now set to welcome England defender Ezri Konsa to the Premier League champions after Arsenal agreed a £51m deal with Aston Villa. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Arsenal are planning to compete in multiple competitions this coming season and will need to utilise their squad. Yes, Konsa will find regular game time hard when Saliba and Timber are fit but he could also push to start if one of those two players suffer a drop in form. Arsenal are doing the same in midfield with the signing of Bruno Guimaraes.
There is a bit of movement within the academy ranks at Manchester United, with a number of their older players set for moves to rival clubs. Winger James Scanlon and full-back Habeeb Ogunneye, who spent time on loan in League Two with Swindon and Newport respectively last season, are both in talks with Arsenal. Neither were involved in United's pre-season campaign under Michael Carrick, even though 15 academy players were picked in the 25-man squad for the opening game against Wrexham in Helsinki on 18 July.
