Arsenal vs Manchester United live stream: How to watch Premier League fixture online and on TV today
Arsenal host Manchester United in a mouthwatering Premier League fixture at the Emirates this afternoon.
Mikel Arteta’s side have enjoyed a resurgence in recent weeks, winning five of their last six league games. A weakened side against Southampton did see Arsenal’s reign as FA Cup winners end with a whimper, however, they responded excellently last time out to defeat the Saints 3-1 on Tuesday. That uplift in results has seen Arsenal creep into the top half of the table, with seven points separating them from the top four.
United, meanwhile, failed to retake their perch at the top of the table after a shock defeat by rock-bottom Sheffield United earlier this week. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side had previously gone 13 games unbeaten in the league but now find themselves a point adrift of Manchester City heading into the weekend, with Pep Guardiola’s side also boasting a game in hand.

Thomas Partey and Emile Smith Rowe both suffered muscle injuries against Southampton and will undergo medical assessments. Kieran Tierney is a doubt while both Pablo Mari and Dani Ceballos are expected to miss out. New signing Martin Odegaard is likely to be on the bench.
Eric Bailly suffered an injury ahead of United’s defeat against the Blades and faces a race against time to prove he’s fit, while Brandon Williams is expected to miss out. Edinson Cavani could replace Anthony Martial up front.
