The last two matches have been better for Manchester United and they will be out to extend the same when they host Arsenal in their next game. Going into this game, five points stand between the two sides; Arsenal fifth on 23 points and Manchester United eighth on 18 points. It hasn’t been great for United in their recent matches, they get to this game with just one win in their last five matches. In Premier League action, they have one win in eight, but after their draw with league leaders Chelsea, they will feel quite capable of taking on this challenge. They haven’t also been great defensively and going to this game they have just one clean sheet. New manager Ralph Rangnick could take charge in this game and he finds a much more stable team than it was two weeks ago. He won’t have to push them a lot to perform; having lost three of their last four home league matches should be enough to motivate United to go for a win here. Paul Pogba, Edison Cavani, Luke Shaw and Raphael Varane all missed the Chelsea game with injury but Harry Maguire will be back in the picture after serving a one game suspension.

Arsenal go to this game having bounced back from the defeat by Liverpool in a 2-0 home win over Newcastle United. Goals from Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli settled it and they will be looking to extend their fine run. The Gunners lost their opening three matches of the league, but after that they’ve only suffered one more loss, which gives them the right impetus going to this game. Defensively, they’ve been great; in their last five matches, they have four clean sheets and have benefited greatly from a fully fit and consistent backline also backed by an impressive Aaron Ramsdale in goal. In their last five matches, they have netted seven goals, five of which have come in the second half. Arsenal are unbeaten in their last five matches against Manchester United and have kept four clean sheets in that run. They have three wins in the last five meetings and the last time they lost to United was in the FA Cup in 2019. The Gunners haven’t lost to United in six league meetings.
