WHAT HAPPENED LAST SEASON?
United and Arsenal shared the spoils last term in the Premier League, with one win each, but neither side was able to break the other’s serve (to coin a tennis reference). The home advantage for both teams paid dividends as Ten Hag’s side won the Old Trafford clash 3-1 in September before Arteta’s men defeated United 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium in the return fixture.
This Sunday’s clash, on 3 September, takes place 364 days after the two sides’ first meeting last season. But this time it is Arsenal who are at home, with that match at the Theatre of Dreams last year prompting good memories for United players and fans alike.
Antony scored on his debut and Marcus Rashford bagged a brace as Erik’s men toppled a Gunners outfit that were unbeaten in the league until that point.
In the return fixture, at the back end of April, Rashford scored once more and Lisandro Martinez got his first goal for the club, but it wasn’t enough for United to claim the win as a Bukayo Saka finish and an Eddie Nketiah double edged the match for the home side.
