August 16th, the first round of the new Premier League season will be staged between Manchester United and Arsenal at home, and four Premier League legends predicted the result of this game.

Sheer: It's great to see the giants at the start of the season, but the game is difficult to predict, and I tend to draw. There will always be unexpected results in the opening match, and there will be many interesting variables in this game, such as the confrontation between Sesco and Yorkez. Amorin and Yorkress are very familiar with each other, and Zubimendi may give Rice more freedom. Manchester United's offensive line is quite good, and Old Trafford will be full of gunpowder.

Chris Sutton: Manchester United 1-2 Arsenal

starts with such a match in the new season. I am very much looking forward to the performance of Manchester United's new players, especially Mbemo and Cunha, who have proved themselves in the Premier League. I have to admit I don't know much about Sesco, but he seems to be a player with great potential, but that might mean that Hoylen's days at Old Trafford are over.

I am also looking forward to seeing how Yorkress cooperates with Saka and Odgao, and how quickly they can establish a tacit understanding. There is always a smell of powder between the two teams, but I think United will lose the game and Yorke may score the winning goal in front of his old coach.

Paul Merson: Manchester United 1-2 Arsenal

People often say that the season is long, with 38 games. But if Arsenal trailed Liverpool by 9 points in September, it would be difficult for them to catch up. If the Gunners draw with Liverpool in the first round and win and the Reds defeat Arsenal in the third round, the Gunners will be 5 points behind, which will be a huge problem for Arsenal.

I would be very surprised if Yorkress, Saka and Odegao all maintained super high attendance while Arsenal still did not win the championship. The start is really important, and of course you can't win the league title in October, but if your start is not sharp enough, you may lose the chance to compete for the championship early.

Senior Redknapp: Manchester United 2-2Arsenal

Manchester United's performance this season is unpredictable and there are many different opinions. They have introduced some forwards, and I agree with their transfer operations. But what surprised me a little was that Manchester United had fewer signings in the back line and midfield, and I think these positions should be strengthened.

As for Arsenal, they have been very close to the championship in the past few seasons. Will it be them this year? Arteta strengthened the team's lineup and strengthened its firepower, and it seems they are ready to compete for another trophy. This will be a wonderful showdown, and both sides will have many goals and I predict that this game will end in a draw.
