Man United vs Arsenal – Premier League: Live score, team news and updates as Mikel Arteta’s side can extend the title race to the final day with a win

Fans are arriving early for this monster clash.

The sun is shining, the shirts are back out: it’s a wonderful day for a match of this magnitude.

Will the atmosphere at Old Trafford be up to par?

United will need this to be the case…

Arsenal have not enjoyed most of their recent trips to Old Trafford…

They have only beaten Manchester United away from home once in their last 16 visits, losing 10 of them.

The only victory came in November 2020. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the only goal of the match from a penalty.

Can this Arsenal team do what many other teams couldn’t and win?

Manchester United fans, you might want to look away.

The Red Devils are on track for their worst Premier League campaign, it has been a terrible year for them.

They have lost a total of 13 times in the Premier League this season, the most defeats they have accumulated in a season since 1989-90.

Erik ten Hag’s team have also conceded 81 goals in all competitions, they have not conceded more for 53 years. Oh.

The statistics don’t end there, I have more.

If United lose today they will equal the club’s record of nine home defeats in a season. They have not reached that number in 50 years.

So yeah, things aren’t looking good for United, I bet they can’t wait for the campaign to end.

It seems that both Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford really want to seize the occasion today…

The couple arrived at Old Trafford just five hours before kick-off. It seems like they are keeping an eye on every little detail of the stadium preparations.

It’s clear these two want to bring back the good times to United. Can his team deliver a retrospective performance and win today?

Manchester United vs Arsenal is an iconic match in many ways.

The rivalry these two have built over the years due to sheer competition makes for one of the most fascinating matches in the Premier League.

From Arsenal winning the title at Old Trafford in 2002, to United humiliating Arsene Wenger’s team in 2011, this clash has brought back many memories.

It may not have the same sting as it did in the early ‘200s, but it’s clear that both sides still greatly dislike each other.

What will they be used for today?

I can’t believe we only have one week left in the season.

This season we have enjoyed an exciting race for the title, in which for a long time three teams faced off in the hope of securing glory.

Well, now we are left with only two teams, Manchester City and Arsenal.

The Gunners can be a point above City if they beat United today, however, the current leaders will have a game in hand.

It’s still very tight and I have the feeling that it will be that way until the last day.

Where to start with Manchester United…

The Red Devils have been terrible this season and, honestly, I think that’s putting it lightly.

Their 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace was the highlight of their poor performances this season, I couldn’t believe what was unraveling before my eyes.

United need to respond in some way today, but the opposition they face makes it difficult to see them come away with anything more than a point.

However, Erik ten Hag’s side were in this position before this season and then derailed Liverpool’s season… twice.

They would love to do the same with the Gunners, but that would mean they would practically hand the title over to their “noisy neighbours”, City.

No one knows which United team will turn up, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Do Arsenal have what it takes to be champions?

They’ve answered that question plenty of times this season, but if they don’t do it today, they won’t.

Arsenal know they have to win to overtake Manchester City and return to the top. Anything less than a victory and they practically say goodbye to the title.

On paper, the Gunners should have a field day against a Manchester United team that is having one of its worst seasons in Premier League history.

However, Mikel Arteta’s team is not fooled: today will be more difficult than people expect at Old Trafford. They have a terrible recent record there.

They’re going to have to change that today…

I’ll be frank. The current situation is life or death for Arsenal.

The games don’t get much bigger with this. A Premier League classic that has given us many unforgettable moments. It’s Manchester United against Arsenal.

In the past, they have battled for titles and gone head-to-head in season-defining matchups, but now times have changed.

While Arsenal are embroiled in a tense title race that is coming to an end, Manchester United have never been further from it than now.

However, they can still give their opinion.

It’s going to be crazy, games like this always bring excitement and excitement that not everyone can. I bet Arsenal fans are extremely nervous…

Okay, let’s get this show on the road!
