It’s not been the best week for Arsenal who could only draw with Brighton in the league and then lost 2-0 at home to Newcastle in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final. The Gunners have been struggling to put away their chances and have clearly missed the injured Bukayo Saka. However, they have an impressive recent record against United, having won each of their last four games against the Red Devils.
After three consecutive defeats, United produced their best display under Ruben Amorim as they secured a deserved 2-2 draw away at Liverpool. Perhaps finally getting to grips with the new formation and the demands of their Portuguese manager, the players will need to deliver another disciplined performance if they hope to gain a positive result at the Emirates. They’ll also need to tighten up at the back, having conceded nine in their last four games.
