Manchester United vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest updates

Arsenal have lost their final away league game in three of the last four seasons under Mikel Arteta witht he exception being a 3-1 win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in 2020/21.

However, the Gunners are unbeaten when facing Man Utd in their final Premier League away game with one win and two draws from the three previous encounters.

Arsenal also secured the title with a 1-0 in the 2001/02 season versus the Red Devils.

Manchester United have lost at home to London sides Crystal Palace and Fulham in the league already this season.

Only twice before have they lost at home to three sides from the captial in a single campaign, with both instances featuring a defeat to Arsenal in 2001/02 and 2020/21.

Having failed to score in 12 of their first 22 Premier League away games against Manchester United, Arsenal have found the net in each of their last nine league visits to Old Trafford.

Will they score again today and keep up their title charge?

Arsenal are looking to complete a league double over Manchester United for the first time since the 2006/07 season while they last won three in a row against the Red Devils between November 1997 and September 1998.

With Manchester United in a terrible run of form and suffering a mounting injury crisis they are particularly vulnerable for the visit of Arsenal.

Still, against an old enemy United tend to up their game and Liverpool can attest to how annoying it can be to come to Old Trafford and try to win.

Arsenal have to come away with three points in order to maintain their title challenge against Man City but this won’t be as easy as they’d like.

Expect both teams to score goals but it’s hard to decide a winner with a stubborn United potential gifting the title to City after a draw.

Man Utd 2-2 Arsenal.

Manchester United’s injury crisis has hit their defensive line harshly with only one of their preferred back four available in Diogo Dalot.

Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire are all on the sidelines but the man United will be hoping to get back quickly is left-back Luke Shaw.

Manager Erik ten Hag provided an update on Shaw saying: “Luke Shaw had a setback in his process as well but there is still a hope and he will fight to be available for the final.”

United face Man City in the FA Cup on 25th May with Maguire also hoping to be fit in time to feature.

Bruno Fernandes and Scott McTominay both missed Man Utd’s 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace but were back in training during the week and are in contention to feature against Arsenal.

Mason Mount has picked up a fresh issue that will sideline him for the game.

“I hope I have players, yeah. But there are players that did train this morning,” United boss Erik ten Hag told reporters.

“Bruno was on the pitch and Scott McTominay was on the pitch, so there are some players returning. But also I have to report that unfortunately, yesterday, Mason Mount fell out [of contention]. So he will not be available for Sunday.”

Here’s how we think the two teams will line-up this afternoon for their crunch Premier League encounter:

Mad Utd XI: Onana; Dalot, Evans, Casemiro, Wan-Bissaka; Mainoo, McTominay; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund.

Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Trossard.

Also, here are the latest odds for the game with Arsenal, perhaps unsurprisingly the favourites to take the win at Old Trafford today:

Man Utd win – 13/2

Draw – 9/2

Arsenal win – 2/5
