Manchester United has the best point per game record on the Premier League opening day, winning 21 and losing only five of their 32 curtain-raisers since 1992. However, three losses in the last ten seasons stand out, all at home: to Swansea in 2014, to Crystal Palace in 2020, and to Brighton in 2022.
Chelsea lost the top spot in the opening-day league table last year after drawing with Liverpool. They face a tough challenge to regain their position, kicking off the season at home against reigning champions Manchester City.
Crystal Palace holds the worst record on Premier League opening days, with just one point per game. They have only won three out of 14 opening day matches, with their latest win being against Sheffield United last year. A victory against Brentford this weekend could improve their standing.
