We kick-off our 2019/20 Premier League campaign away to Newcastle United on Sunday.
Here are five things you need to know ahead of this weekend's game at St James' Park.
FAST START?
Our form for opening-day fixtures has been patchy over recent years, losing four of the last six – against Aston Villa (2013/14), West Ham United (2015/16), Liverpool (2016/17) and Manchester City (2018/19).
But all of those games were at Emirates Stadium. This is our first opener on the road since 2011/12 when we faced... Newcastle. It finished 0-0 that day, and looking purely at opening-day games on the road, we haven't lost since 2000/01, away to Sunderland.
