The Premier League match between Arsenal and Manchester United will take place at Emirates Stadium on Sunday at 9:00 pm IST.
Two prominent teams in English football, who have had underwhelming starts to the season, will face off in a highly anticipated Premier League match on Sunday. Arsenal will host Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium. Last weekend, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal team had their first setback of the season, drawing 2-2 with Fulham. Meanwhile, Manchester United staged an exciting comeback to defeat Nottingham Forest 3-2.
Mikel Arteta praised Arsenal’s performance in their 2-2 draw with Fulham, claiming it was much improved from their previous year’s 2-1 win over the same opponent. Despite an early setback with Andreas Pereira’s goal, Bukayo Saka’s penalty and Eddie Nketiah’s effort seemed to secure a victory for Arsenal. However, Fulham, reduced to 10 men after Calvin Bassey’s red card (later overturned), staged a comeback with Joao Palhinha’s skillful strike, leaving Arsenal with a disappointing draw and fifth place in the Premier League. Arsenal’s early-season experimentation has drawn both confusion and criticism, failing to resolve their defensive issues at home. They’ve managed just one clean sheet in their last nine Premier League home matches but have compensated with strong attacking performances, scoring at least twice in nine of their last 10 home league games.
Nottingham Forest made history at Old Trafford by scoring twice within the opening four minutes against Manchester United. Taiwo Awoniyi and Willy Boly struck early, but Christian Eriksen reduced the deficit in the 17th minute. In the second half, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes engineered an impressive comeback for United. Erik ten Hag’s team, bouncing back from a 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur, currently sits in eighth place in the early-season Premier League standings. They also secured a narrow 1-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at home. While Manchester United has a strong home record, their away form is less convincing, with just three wins in their last 11 Premier League away games and a single goal scored in their last four such matches. Notably, Manchester United hasn’t won a Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium since December 2017.
Arsenal probable starting lineup: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Odegaard, Rice, Havertz, Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
Manchester United probable starting lineup: Onana, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Martinez, Dalot, Casemiro, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Rashford, Hojlund
