On Sunday in the Premier League, Manchester United welcomes Arsenal to Old Trafford with both teams hoping to keep their winning streaks going.
The first two games of the 2022–23 Premier League season were losses for Erik ten Hag’s team. But Manchester United has made a tremendous comeback, winning three straight games against Liverpool, Southampton, and Leicester City. The Red Devils are now riding a wave of confidence and momentum, and a victory over Arsenal would do wonders for the team’s morale.
Arsenal, meanwhile, has had a fantastic start to their Premier League season thus far, winning all five of their league games. It remains to be seen if the Gunners can grind out a crucial victory at Old Trafford, as Mikel Arteta will expect more of the same from his team.

Arsenal’s perfect start to the Premier League season makes them a contender despite the fact that few would have predicted they would be in the title battle this year. Arsenal might experience a significant confidence boost and be launched this season with a victory at Old Trafford.
Following a tight victory over Aston Villa, Arsenal enters this match needing to play at their peak against a revitalized Manchester United team.
Last season, the Gunners were defeated 3-2 at Old Trafford; they will look to avenge that loss this time around. Notably, the north London team has only lost once in the previous six matches against Manchester United, and they will undoubtedly be confident of winning this match.
Manchester United Team News
Since Erik ten Hag changed up his starting lineup and opted to put his trust in the young players, Manchester United has been playing better. Once again, it’s anticipated that Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Anthony Elanga will start the match as the front three, with Cristiano Ronaldo sitting on the bench.
In the meanwhile, the central defensive pairing of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane is set to stay the same, as are the youthful full-backs Diogo Dalot and Tyrell Malacia.
Manchester United Possible Line-up (4-3-3):
De Gea; Dalot, Martinez, Varane, Malacia; Eriksen, McTominay, Fernandes; Elanga, Rashford, Sancho
Arsenal Team News
Although Mikel Arteta would have preferred to start his full lineup for this match, the Arsenal manager is not able to do so. Oleksandr Zinchenko, Thomas Partey, Mohamed Elneny, and Reiss Nelson are just a few of the injured players that Arsenal will be without.
Martin Odegaard, the captain of Arsenal and a Norwegian attacking midfielder, is questionable for this match after spraining his ankle against Aston Villa. In place of Partey, defender Ben White will serve as the defensive midfielder for the Gunners against Manchester United in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Takehiro Tomiyasu, a Japanese fullback, might get the start on the right flank as a result. William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes will start as the two center backs, and Kieran Tierney is anticipated to take Kieran Tierney’s place as the left-back.
White will team up with Granit Xhaka in the Arsenal pivot, in the meantime. In the event that Odegaard is unavailable, Emile Smith Rowe might have the chance to start at number 10 against the Red Devils. In the wide positions, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are anticipated to start, with Gabriel Jesus manning the center of the line for Arsenal against Manchester United.
Arsenal Possible Line-up (4-2-3-1):
Ramsdale; Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Tierney; Xhaka, White; Martinelli, Smith Rowe, Saka; Jesus
