This Sunday’s clash at Old Trafford promises fireworks as Manchester United host Arsenal in a pivotal Premier League encounter. After a disappointing defeat to Crystal Palace, Erik ten Hag’s men face a tough task against the Gunners, who are still chasing their first league title since 2004.
In their previous meeting in September, Arsenal emerged victorious with a 3-1 win, thanks to stoppage-time heroics from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus. Mikel Arteta’s side will be eager to replicate that success as they aim to strengthen their position in the league.
Manchester United received a significant boost with Marcus Rashford, Lisandro Martinez, Bruno Fernandes, and Scott McTominay all returning to team training. Although Anthony Martial could make an appearance, Martinez remains sidelined due to injury.

However, United’s injury list remains extensive, with players like Tyrell Malacia, Willy Kambwala, Victor Lindelof, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, and Mason Mount unavailable for selection.
Arteta hinted at slight doubts over Bukayo Saka and Takehiro Tomiyasu’s availability, but their inclusion remains uncertain. Jurrien Timber’s return from injury adds depth to Arsenal’s squad, although he may not feature in the starting lineup.
With Thomas Partey likely to retain his midfield role, Arsenal will rely on the attacking prowess of Saka, who has been instrumental this season with 20 goals in all competitions. His impressive record against Manchester United makes him a key player for the Gunners.
As anticipation builds for this high-stakes showdown, both teams will be eager to secure a crucial victory in their pursuit of silverware. Don’t miss the action as two giants of English football collide on Super Sunday.
