Manchester United Preview – Can Red Devils make it four wins on trot?
Following a disappointing and rather shaky start to this new Premier League campaign which saw Manchester United slip to worrying defeats to Brighton 2-1 at home and then a comprehensive 4-0 loss away from home at Brentford, new manager, Eric ten Hag’s influence is beginning to show through the early gloom and doom at Old Trafford.
United have since staged a recovery by recording three wins on the trot in the top flight by way of victories over arch-rivals, Liverpool, 2-1 at home, along with back to back wins on the road at Southampton and Leicester City, both of which were by 1-0 margins.
ten Hag will also be pleased with his side keeping two clean sheets on the trot especially after conceding four goals against Brighton and Brentford in recent times, while up front, forward, Marcus Rashford appears to be enjoying a new lease of life and is starting to build an understanding with Jadon Sancho.
Manchester United have lost just once in their last 11 games at Old Trafford and the hosts have lost just once in their last eight meetings at home against Arsenal.
Besides Anthony Martial, the hosts also have Facundo Pellistri and Brandon Williams out injured while Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Luke Shaw are also expected to be ruled out.
Arsenal Preview – Can Gunners pass next big test?
Arsenal head into this weekend sitting top of the Premier League and two points ahead of 2nd placed Manchester City as The Gunners have enjoyed an excellent start to this new top flight season, putting together a 100% winning record in the process.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side have exploded out of the blocks at the start of this new term as his side have racked up wins against Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Bournemouth, Fulham and Aston Villa respectively, but with no disrespect, Arsenal’s biggest test awaits at Old Trafford this Sunday afternoon in the shape of Manchester United.
Arsenal will be in confident mood though as the north London side have collected 10 wins out of their last 12 matches overall in the Premier League and also captured nine wins from their last 13 outings on the road as well.
The likes of Gabriel Jesus, Martinelli and Odegaard are enjoying impressive starts to this season’s campaign and they’ll be backing themselves to not only match United but perhaps even take the three points, but they’ll be facing a very different United outfit to that of just a few weeks ago.
Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny are expected to miss a significant amount of time with thigh injuries while Oleksander Zinchenko is yet to return to team training following a knee injury and is set to miss out again here.
