Arsenal will play Manchester United in a huge Premier League match and we can reveal how to watch the game as well as all of the key news like suspensions, injuries and more.

This is the most excited we have been for a match between these two sides in years, as the Gunners are at the top of the division, whilst the Red Devils are third. Arsenal currently has an eight-point lead over both United and second-placed Manchester City.

Mikel Arteta is doing a great job with Arsenal, and no one expected them to be challenging for the title. Many expected Man United manager Erik Ten Haag to struggle more in his first season, but he is also having a strong season.

With both sides picking up five wins and a draw in their last six games, we are definitely in for a treat as two of the most in-form sides in the country clash in England's top flight.

The two sides will hope they both have their best starting XI for this match; however, this is not the case for either team.

Mikel Arteta will be without three players. Two of them are squad players in Mohamed Elneny and Reiss Nelson. The latter has no return date, whilst the former will face a late fitness test before the match but won't be risked.

The big injury for Arsenal is to forward Gabriel Jesus, the Brazilian, who signed from Man City, has enjoyed his first season in North London; however, he suffered a knee injury during the World Cup, and he won't return until March 2023 at the earliest.

Ten Haag is arguably worse off, though, as the club have multiple players missing. The big news is that Brazilian midfielder Casemiro, who has been crucial for the Red Devils this season, has picked up a suspension following his yellow card in the 1-1 draw vs Crystal Palace.

Donny van de Beek and Diogo Dalot are the other big players out due to injury, and it is unknown when both will return.

Jadon Sancho is close to returning to the squad, whilst Anthony Martial faces a late fitness test ahead of the match.


Predicted lineups

It has been made slightly easier by the injuries and suspensions to predict the teams. We see Eddie Nketiah continue to start up front for Arsenal, whilst McTominay and Fred could both come into the starting XI if Martial is injured as Wout Weghorst did not perform well on his debut.

Arsenal Predicted XI: Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Nketiah

Manchester United Predicted XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; McTominay, Fred; Anthony, Eriksen, Fernandes; Rashford

The two have been rivals for decades, and many football fans ask the question: Why are Man United and Arsenal rivals?

The two have been rivals as they were the two teams battling for many decades to win the title over each other. This was during the Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger era, and whilst these two were managers of either side, the rivalry escalated due to sending-offs and brawls in matches.


Head-to-Head record

The two sides have played each other 61 times since the Premier League was created back in 1992 and the Red Devils currently have bragging rights as they have picked up the most wins. Arsenal have 17 wins, Man United have 26 wins and there have been 18 draws.


Last five Premier League meetings

Here are the recent results between Man United and Arsenal, including what happened last time out:

  • 1st November 2020: Manchester United 0-1 Arsenal
  • 30th January 2021: Arsenal 0-0 Manchester United
  • 2nd December 2021: Manchester United 3-2 Arsenal
  • 23rd April 2022: Arsenal 3-1 Manchester United
  • 4th September 2022: Manchester United 3-1 Arsenal

As you can see, the Red Devils managed to beat the Gunners 3-1 at Old Trafford earlier this season, and this has been Arsenal's only loss of the season so far.
