Looking at the (interesting) history of opening away games against newly promoted clubs, a draw would seem to be the most likely result tonight!

Thanks Angus, a good read down memory lane.

Nice analysis, Angus.

I will take a draw if offered right now.

Before football was invented, at the start of the 1969-70 season, we started the season with a 0-1 win at Highbury, and followed it up with a 0-2 victory at Old Trafford.

That was a pretty good year.
