A disappointing draw against Fulham last time left Arsenal with questions to answer, particularly after a couple of not-so-convincing performances beforehand. After a somewhat odd start to the season, their concerns are not quite as great as United’s.
Despite poor performances against Wolves and Nottingham Forest at home, the team managed to win two games after a disastrous performance against Tottenham. The potential of both Arsenal and United will therefore be put to the test in this match as a crucial early-season litmus test in the coming weeks and month.
Manchester United and Arsenal would be meeting on the 3rd of September at Emirates Stadium, England. Kick-off Time is 16:30 BST / 11:30 ET / 08:30 PT. Referee is Anthony Taylor. In the UK, the game will be televised live on Sky Sports with coverage beginning at 4pm, after Crystal Palace’s match with Wolves. Subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Sky Go app.
Raphael Varane has been ruled out for a few weeks by the visitors to join Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia as Erik ten Hag’s absent defenders. Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo miss out in the midfield while Rasmus Hojlund is still awaiting his debut.
It would be confirmed by the United boss soon whether or not the Dane has a shot of playing this gameEddie Nketiah is said to be in good health despite a possible knee injury, so there are no serious worries.
Arsenal may welcome Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus back to his starting XI after their comeback from injury as substitutes, but he is still without Jurrien Timber and Mohamed Elneny.
