Everton captain Phil Neville is eyeing a new season opening day victory over Arsenal.

He told evertonfc.com: "I am like every other football fan when the fixtures come out. We all want to know who we have got in the first few weeks and over Christmas and the new year.

"The opening fixture of a new season is always an exciting one anyway, but the fact that we are playing a side like Arsenal adds even more spice to the occasion.

"A full house at Goodison on day one is always something special and we will be looking to get off to a good start."
