Arsenal attempts to win three consecutive home league games against United for the first time since 1991. The two had a couple of very entertaining clashes last season, and it ended 3-2 for the home side at Emirates after Eddie Nketiah completed a brace in the game with a 90th-minute winner.
Nketiah could be the hero again for Arsenal after opening the new campaign in great form. The 24-year-old has notched two goals in three games, earning himself his first call-up to the England squad. His confidence must be sky-high at present, and the Red Devils will need to be on their toes for the entire match to ensure Nketiah doesn’t hurt them again.
Bukayo Saka is another player who deserves full attention from the visitors on Sunday. He can become the first Arsenal player to score in four consecutive Premier League appearances against United.
Considering Arsenal’s defensive struggles, the team will likely need to be at its very best attacking-wise to escape defeat. The Gunners have managed to record only three clean sheets in their last 14 league games. It’s no doubt a worrying stat for Mikel Arteta, and he’ll hope to improve it as quickly as possible.
United has showcased plenty of defensive woes as well, with the team having been constantly overrun in midfield in the first few games of the season, and they have been lucky to get six points on the board. Better teams definitely wouldn’t have been so forgiving to Erik ten Hag’s men. The United boss will need to tighten things up on Sunday against a pacy side that has a very good home record with 18 wins and only two losses registered in the team’s past 24 Premier League home games.
Having lost five of the past nine head-to-head league clashes against Arsenal, United has clearly struggled in this fixture, but the match-up has always been very kind for Marcus Rashford. He famously scored against Arsenal in his Premier League debut and has tallied five goals and four assists in total across 15 Premier League appearances in the fixture. Last season, Rashford was involved in four of United’s five goals against the Gunners.
