Arsenal will get their Premier League title defence underway tonight against newly-promoted Coventry City at the Emirates.
After winning their first league title in 22 years, the Gunners will be keen to lay down an early marker to their rivals against Frank Lampards’ Sky Blues.
Summer signing Christos Tzolis could make his league debut for Mikel Arteta’s side tonight, but there are doubts over Bruno Guimaraes after he picked up a minor knock in the Community Shield.
Arsenal are also without William Saliba and Jurrien Timber in defence as they continue their comeback from longer-term injuries.
