Match preview
On Sunday afternoon, top-of-the-table Arsenal will visit a resurgent Manchester United at Old Trafford in a renewed vintage rivalry.
After a 4-0 loss to Brentford on Matchday 2, United became the laughing stock of the league. Since then, Erik ten Hag has improved the team with three consecutive wins and brought significant quality to the Red Devils.
After the trouncing 8 days earlier, United earned Ten Hag’s era some life with a 2-1 win over Liverpool. They then won slim victories over Leicester and Southampton following the win against Liverpool.
Arsenal on the other hand, had another impressive performance on Wednesday night; they beat Aston Villa 2-1 in a game where they were clearly superior.
This win continued the Gunners perfect record to start the season, and it was helped by Sambi Lokonga who played exceptionally well in his first start.
The game was also played without Thomas Partey and Oleksandr Zinchenko, who were injured and absent from the lineup.
There has been a lot of confidence at Arsenal Football Club lately. A win on Sunday would prove a significant statement to the rest of the Premier League.
Rejuvenated Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United will be hoping to spoil Arsenal’s perfect start to the season at the Old trafford. Will this be a tall order for Man United or Arsenal will prevail on the day?
