A Classic Rivalry Returns

The Premier League’s most exciting rivalry is back on Wednesday as Arsenal takes on Manchester United at the Emirates! Mikel Arteta’s squad is riding high, having won all three of their games since the international break by three or more goals. Their latest win, a thrilling 5-2 blowout against West Ham, featured all seven goals before half-time – talk about an attacking showcase!

Unbeaten in their last 12 matches at home, Arsenal is firmly in the title race and eager to make history in this matchup. A win would not only give them four straight league victories over Manchester United for the first time ever but also make them the first team since the 1970s to score three or more goals in four consecutive home league games against the Red Devils.

United’s Road Struggles

United, under new boss Ruben Amorim, is coming into this match pumped up after their biggest Premier League win in over two years – a 4-0 thrashing of Everton. While Amorim acknowledged the performance wasn’t flawless, the result shows they’re making strides under his leadership.

But there’s a catch: United’s away form is a big worry. The Red Devils haven’t won any of their last six away games across all competitions, with their only road victory this season coming against Southampton. To make things tougher, they’ve lost seven of their last nine Premier League trips to Arsenal, including their last three visits.
