Arsenal travel to Manchester United on Sunday with the hope of securing a first Premier League title in 20 years.
United face a fight to qualify for any European football next season after a dismal 4-0 hammering at Crystal Palace, which has seen pressure mount on manager Erik Ten Hag amid calls from some sections for his sacking.
Arsenal have not won in 16 trips to Old Trafford, and their last match was in front of an empty stadium in November 2020, but the Gunners cannot afford any slip-ups as they seek to maintain momentum in the title race.
Manchester City’s win at Fulham yesterday means Pep Guardiola’s side are two points clear in the table, and could win the title on Tuesday night if Arsenal fail to win at Old Trafford. United go into the game in eighth place, with just one win in their last seven league matches, and risk the unenviable position of a season without European football.

Early team news
Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes could return for Manchester United, but Lisandro Martinez, who is moving closer to fitness, will miss out. Mason Mount has been added to United’s injury list, though Erik ten Hag hopes the England international will be fit for the FA Cup final, while the Dutchman will still be very short of defenders for the visit of the title contenders.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are close to fully fit, though Mikel Arteta hinted on Friday that there were a few doubts in his squad: Bukayo Saka trained with bandaging on his leg earlier in the week, while Takehiro Tomiyasu missed portions of training. A settled side is likely.

Mikel Arteta feels Erik ten Hag should get more time at Manchester United
United host the title-chasing Gunners on Sunday – the penultimate weekend of the Premier League season.
While Arteta retains hope of delivering a first league title to north London in 20 years, United face a fight to even qualify for Europe after a 4-0 thrashing at Crystal Palace on Monday night.
That result has seen pressure mount on United boss Ten Hag, but Arteta feels the Dutchman needs backing.
“I can only talk about what I think about him as a coach. He’s an excellent coach. I admire his teams, both Ajax and United,” Arteta replied when asked about Ten Hag’s position.
