Arsenal vs Man United: head-to-head, fixture top scorer, key battles, and how to watch
Manchester United take a trip to North London to face Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday evening.
United recorded a convincing 2-0 win over rivals Manchester City last weekend and will head into this clash high on confidence.
Meanwhile, Arsenal were held to a goalless draw at Nottingham Forest in their last league fixture.
Head-to-head
This is the most played fixture in United’s history, with the Red Devils facing the North London side 224 times.
Across their previous meetings, United have registered 95 wins as compared to Arsenal’s 81, while 48 ended in draws.
However, Man United have struggled in this fixture recently, losing six of their last 10 fixtures against Arsenal across all competitions.
Fixture top scorer
No player has outscored Wayne Rooney in this fixture, with the United legend leading the chart with 12 goals.
Key battles
Bruno Fernandes vs Martin Zubimendi: Fernandes leads the league for chances created, assists, and through balls. His play-making quality would be pivotal.
Zubimendi is not a volume tackler, but makes up for it with good positioning and spatial awareness.
Bukayo Saka vs Luke Shaw: Saka is not in blistering form, but remains a key player for the leaders.
Shaw’s one-on-one defending would come in handy in keeping Saka quiet in this clash.
Declan Rice vs Casemiro: Rice’s progressive carries and long-range passing accuracy could be crucial, with United likely to play with a low block.
Facing Arsenal for the last time in a United shirt, Casemiro would be key to stopping the Arsenal midfielder.
How-to-watch
The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League in the UK.
United fans can also follow the game on MUTV, the United App, and ManUtd.com.
