ARSENAL fans have predicted that they will face Luton away on the opening day of next season.
The Gunners have played on Friday night to kick-off the last two Premier League campaigns.
Kenilworth Road will be a Premier League ground next season
Much has been made of Luton’s humble home
And following Luton’s stunning promotion to the Premier League, Arsenal fans reckon a Friday night trip to Kenilworth Road is beckoning.
After a Twitter account posted a picture of Luton’s home ground, a disgruntled Gooner wrote: “I wonder who the definitely completely random Premier League fixture generator will have them start the season against on a Friday night.”
A second tweeted: “Away to newly promoted team under lights on a Friday vs us when the whole world is watching.”
While a third huffed: “The Premier League will probably restart the computer as many times as they have to.”
A fan of another team mocked Gunners supporters, however, writing: “Only Arsenal would complain about being given newly promoted teams for their opening game.”
Although a further Arsenal fan added: “Brentford vibes.”
The Gunners kicked off their 2021-22 campaign with a trip to the then-newly-promoted Bees.
An under-cooked Arsenal side struggled against Thomas Frank’s men, losing 2-0 under the lights.
It prompted a run of three consecutive defeats to begin the season, with Mikel Arteta’s side going into the September international break bottom of the league.
The following year they faced Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Friday night to open the campaign.
It was a different result on that occasion, however, with Arsenal winning 2-0 in South London.
Arsenal were beaten 2-0 by Brentford in August 2021
The Gunners began last season by winning at Crystal Palace
