Manchester Utd vs Arsenal FC, England – Premier League, Old Trafford, 17:30

Milestones are on the line for both teams in Sunday’s colossal Premier League contest at Old Trafford, where an out-of-sorts Manchester United host an Arsenal side whose hopes of glory are hanging by the thinnest thread.

While victory for the Red Devils would give them their 100th triumph over the Gunners across all competitions, the North London giants could win successive top-flight games at Old Trafford for the first time in the Premier League era.

Manchester United is languishing in a measly 14th place in the Premier League table. Last weekend, their FA Cup title defence was in tatters thanks to Fulham and their own former Gunner Bernd Leno, meaning that their final shot at redeeming a woeful campaign lies in the Europa League.

Arsenal astonishingly defied their selection crisis in the final third to annihilate PSV Eindhoven 7-1 in midweek. They became the first team to ever score seven goals away from home in a Champions League knockout game as they prepare for an inevitable quarter-final with either Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid.

After two toothless Premier League performances and a dazzling Champions League display, confidently predicting which version of Arsenal’s attack will show up on Sunday is an impossible task, but a defence-heavy Man United should not afford the visitors as much time and space as PSV did.

However, the hosts are working with two fewer days’ rest, have minimal options for change, and will likely see their ineffective strikers bullied by Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba, so yet another Old Trafford win and clean sheet for Arsenal are the only results we can envisage.
