Manchester United vs Arsenal Preview


Manchester United vs Arsenal

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium: Old Trafford

Date: 2nd December 2021

Kick-off time – 20:15 GMT

Manchester United will look to start their life under new boss Ralf Rangnick with a win when they welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford this Thursday.

The Red Devils face their second London side in a row and will be desperate to pick up points after earning one point in their 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Sunday.

Their result with Chelsea made it two games unbeaten for temporary manager Michael Carrick but at home, the hosts have lost their last two games coming into this tie. They failed to score in those games and also conceded seven goals. In fact, they are winless in four league home games (D1, L3) and have kept just one clean sheet in their last ten competitive home games.

They will be desperate to correct that record and get a good result here to keep themselves close to the top four places.

Meanwhile, Arsenal put the disappointment of their 4-0 loss to Liverpool behind them by beating Newcastle 2-0 on Saturday.

The Gunners have improved gradually and have played themselves back into the reckoning for the top four.

They travel to Manchester sitting in fifth, level on points with fourth-placed West Ham United and with a five-point lead over Man United who occupy eighth place.

Mikel Arteta will hope to at least keep the distance between him and the hosts that way and will fancy his side’s chances of taking all three points in this game.
