Arsenal face Utd test, City look to rebound from trophy-less season

Newcastle are set to be without wantaway star striker Alexander Isak for a tough trip to Aston Villa.

Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres are set to make their Premier League debuts for United and Arsenal respectively at Old Trafford after a summer that could have seen them line up for their opposition on Sunday.

Arsenal were linked with a move to Sesko for over a year before deciding to bet on Gyokeres as the man to fire them to a first Premier League title since 2004 for a fee that could rise to £66 million ($89 million).

The Gunners have finished second for the past three seasons and were lacking a clinical finisher to take that final step towards being champions Gyokeres netted a remarkable 97 times in 102 games during two years at Sporting Lisbon, much of which came under the orders of United boss Ruben Amorim.

"I can just talk about Viktor and how happy we are to have him. He is going to have a tremendous impact in the team and his adaptation has been really, really good and we are happy to have him," Mikel Arteta told reporters.
