TABLE CHECK
Man United are second in the Premier League, four points behind rivals Man City.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are sat in ninth and are ten points off tonight’s opponents United.
A win tonight for the Gunners would see them move up to seventh, leapfrogging Everton.
HOME FORM
Arsenal have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three home games in all competitions, as many as they had in their previous 19 at the Emirates.
The Gunners last recorded four consecutive shutouts at home in April 2019, a run that included a home win over Manchester United.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Arsenal have won their last two Premier League matches against Manchester United, last winning three in a row in September 1998 under Arsène Wenger.
Manchester United are winless in all four Premier League games against Arsenal under Ole Gunnar Solskjær (D1 L3) – the Norwegian is the only Red Devils manager to face Arsenal more than once in the top-flight without winning a game.
Arsenal are looking to record a Premier League double over Manchester United for only the fourth time – the Gunners have won the league on two of the previous three occasions they’ve done so (1997/98 and 2001/02), also managing it in 2006/07, finishing 4th.
Manchester United haven’t lost three consecutive away top-flight games against Arsenal since May 1991 – the Red Devils last lost three away league games in a row against any single opponent versus Brighton between 1982 and 2018.
GOOD AFTERNOON
And welcome to the live blog for Arsenal vs Manchester United!
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2-1 loss at the hands of Sheffield United.
If Solskjaer’s United managed to avoid defeat, they’ll make it 18 consecutive top-flight away games unbeaten stretching back more than a year.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are looking to maintain their good run of form having won four of their last five.
And the Gunners have kept three clean sheets in a row at the Emirates.
A win for Arsenal today would shorten the gap between the two sides to just seven points, and new signing Martin Odegaard could be in line to make his debut.
Boss Mikel Arteta will be without captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and left-back Kieran Tierney.
United have been handed a triple injury boost with Luke Shaw, Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof all hoping to return to first-team action after missing the 2-1 defeat at home to Sheffield.
The last time the two sides met, it was an Aubameyang penalty which separated the two sides and handed Arsenal a valuable three points.
The teamsheets are due to be released in half an hour, so don’t go anywhere!
