Arsenal play host to the Premier League curtain raiser on Friday night when they take on Leicester but Wenger found time outside of his side's training schedule to attend.

The Frenchman donned a grey suit and white shirt whilst other managers such as Conte arrived in more casual attire.

The Italian boss, who usually rocks a smart suit on a match-day, wore a blazer and trainers but looked like a man under pressure before a ball has been kicked.

Conte has some serious work to do in the transfer window if his side are going to defend their Premier League title.

Jurgen Klopp cut a more relaxed figure as he turned up in white New Balance trainers.

The Liverpool manager has enjoyed an unbeaten pre-season but faces the uphill battle of keeping Philippe Coutinho at the club.

Jose Mourinho missed out as his Manchester United side take on Real Madrid in the Super Cup on Tuesday night.

Everton's Ronald Koeman may have made the biggest fashion statement of them all.

Clutching a personalised bag, the Dutch boss ditched the socks and his shoes matched the colour of his jacket.

New managers Ronald De Boer, Mauricio Pelligrino and Marco Silva all attended their first Premier League meeting.

It is believed they would discuss the new ABBA penalty system and the new diving ban that has been implemented.
