Arsenal vs Manchester United

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium – Emirates Stadium

Date: 2nd December 2017

Kick-off time – 17:30 GMT

Arsenal trashed Huddersfield in midweek 5-0 at the Emirates following their last gasp 0-1 win over Burnley last weekend.

Their last few matches have seen them turn on the style as some of their important players like Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil have started proving their worth.

That win over Huddersfield however came with a little bad news as star attacker Alexandre Lacazette hobbled off with an injury and is set to miss this game.

That win over the Terriers was their third league win on the bounce.

At home they have been perfect winning all of their home league games this season and if you add in last season, they have won their last 12 home games on the bounce with their victims including Manchester United and Tottenham.

Manchester United got two wins from their last two games but their game against Watford in midweek could have resulted in a draw and they are keeping their fans guessing when they will become commanding away from home.

In their last five away games in all competitions, they have lost three and they have did not score against Chelsea, Basel or Liverpool.

With this Arsenal side that has not conceded a goal in five of their last six home games, the Red Devils will need to improve to have a chance of grabbing a goal or two here.

Manchester United have won just one and lost three of their last six matches against the Gunners.
