What happened. Arsenal face Coventry City in the first game of the new Premier League season, with the champions hosting the Championship winners.

• Coventry have won at Arsenal before, including in 1991-92
• Arsenal have won all five meetings this century
• Last clash between the sides was in 2014

A historic upset could be on the cards, but Arsenal's recent dominance suggests otherwise.
