When Crystal Palace hosts Arsenal at Selhurst Park to begin the 2022-23 Premier League season, Patrick Vieira will rejoin with his previous team Arsenal.
There is still a lot of work to be done before the season begins, but fans of top-flight clubs are already getting excited after the dates were announced on Thursday.
We take a look back at some of the games from the first weekend of the season.
Gunners raise the curtain once more.
Arsenal started last season with a trip to Brentford, and they will do it again this season after being assigned a Friday night match against Crystal Palace.
The Gunners had a poor start to the season in 2021-22, losing their first three games without scoring a goal.
Palace likewise had to wait until their fourth game to win, despite drawing two of their first three games.
Last season, the South Londoners were more than a match for Arsenal, drawing 2-2 at the Emirates and winning 3-0 at Selhurst Park, but they have a history of having late beginnings.
Only five of the Eagles' previous 22 seasons have begun with a win in the top flight, and they may be there for the taking.
Goals have been scored in seven of the last eight meetings between the two at Selhurst Park, with at least three in each of the last eight games.

The Cottagers will be full of confidence after winning the Championship, but a home match against Jurgen Klopp's powerful team might bring them plummeting back down to earth soon.
Fabio Carvalho moved from Fulham to Liverpool this summer, and if given some playing time, he might be a possibility to register against his former club.
In 2020-21, the hosts averted loss in both of their games with Liverpool, although a repeat performance appears doubtful.
