Arsenal vs Man Utd LIVE: Red Devils travel to Gunners for iconic Premier League clash TODAY – stream, TV, team news
ARSENAL are hosting Manchester United as the Gunners look to get back to winning ways TODAY!
Mikel Arteta’s side were held to a 2-2 draw with Fulham at the Emirates last weekend, while the Red Devils secured a sensational comeback win to beat Nottingham Forest 3-2 at Old Trafford.
Arsenal had a nightmare in the London derby, going behind after just one minute after Andreas Periera spotted Aaron Ramsdale off his line.
The hosts fought back with Fulham reduced to ten men as calvin Bassey was sent off, yet they secured a point with Joao Palhinha netting the equaliser.
Man Utd also had a horror start and found themselves 2-0 down inside just four minutes to Steve Cooper’s side.
Christian Eriksen, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes were on the scoresheet to inspire the Red Devils to a memorable comeback win.
Arsenal had the better of Man Utd in their previous clash last campaign when Eddie Nketiah claimed the spoils to secure a 3-2 victory.
It was revenge for the North Londoners after they were beaten 3-1 in Manchester last September.
The Red Devils have the edge on results historically in a fixture that has become one of the most iconic Premier League fixtures of all time.

What is their form like?
Arsenal got their season off to the ideal start when they won the Community Shield over Manchester City.
And they remain undefeated this season after securing wins versus Forest and Crystal Palace prior to their draw versus Fulham.
However, performances have not been convincing with Arteta tinkering with tactics in the early stages of the campaign.
As for United their beginning of the season has been close to a disaster.
There is an injury crisis with multiple stars out and wins over Wolves and Forest at home have been far from convincing.
Erik ten Hag’s side also lost 2-0 to Tottenham.
What is the team news?
Rasmus Hojlund could make his Manchester United debut this Sunday after recovering from a back injury that has sidelined the Dane since his £72million transfer.
Ten Hag has been dealt a huge blow after centre-back Raphael Varane suffered an injury and could reportedly be out for a month.
Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia will remain on the sidelines, meaning Diego Dalot is expected to fill in at left-back again.
Mason Mount is expected to be out until after the international break due to a minor injury problem.
For the Gunners, Gabriel Jesus will be pushing for a start after returning against Fulham last week.
Long-term absentees Jurrien Timber and Mohamed Elneny will both be unavailable.
Rumours of Nketiah being injured are supposedly untrue and Takehiro Tomiyasu has served his one-match suspension after his red card at Palace.
Who will be the star men?
Arsenal star Buakyo Saka picked up the Young Player of the Year trophy at the PFA Awards earlier this week and he has two goals this season.
As for United, Fernandes impressed last week to inspire the comeback and the captain will need to lead by example again.
What have the managers said?
Arteta raged after his side drew with Fulham, saying: “We have to show another level of commitment and desire. Over my dead body, against ten men, you cannot concede a goal.
“It’s incredible we didn’t get three points after everything we created. We have to look at ourselves.”
He also backed Kai Havertz to come good at Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Ten Hag slammed his side’s “crazy” errors in the opening minutes versus Nottingham Forest but praised the team’s character, calmness and composure to overturn the deficit.

Arsenal 2-1 Man Utd
Neither side has been at their best in the first few weeks of the season but United have been too easy to play through and Arsenal have the quality to punish a leaky and makeshift defence.
