The newly-promoted side finished third in the Championship last season and qualified for the big league by beating Swansea in the play-offs.

Meanwhile, Arsenal has been winless in the pre-season, suffering back to back losses against London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham. They have not really bolstered their squad yet except signing Ben White for 50 million pounds from Brighton. The Gunners will take comfort in the fact that they have not lost an away opening day fixture since 2000. We can expect an electric atmosphere tonight and hope for an exciting clash.

Date: August 14, Saturday
Kick-Off: 00:30 AM (IST)
