With just a day to go until the Premier League begins, fans of the respective 20 clubs are all holding their breath. The opening day of the season is never a certain indicator of what is to come in the coming months, but no one likes to lose out on that first weekend. Victory can give the fans a massive boost and kick start a decent run through August that builds momentum for the games ahead.

We welcome back Premiership football with open arms and to celebrate the first day of the season, we take a look back at some classic encounters that started the year with a bang.
