Arsenal remains unbeaten against Manchester United in the Premier League since 2022.
The Theatre of Dreams, Old Trafford is set to host a high-stakes Premier League showdown as Manchester United take on arch-rivals Arsenal on March 9, 2025. With the season in a crucial phase, both the clubs come into this contest with high stakes. Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim would be in huge pressure having won only two games since February.
The Portuguese manager, who has had a stumbling start since his arrival, is currently said to be on thin ice. Amid all the speculations of United already looking for his replacements, Amorim will have a point to prove. The 40-year-old who has got the better of Arteta twice in the past, will be looking to turn the tides his way as he tries to gain fans’ trust.
Arsenal, on the other hand, come into the game after a thumping 7-1 victory over PSV in the Champions League. However, given their history in this stage of the Premier League, Mikel Arteta wouldn’t take anything for granted. Being 16 points behind Liverpool with two games in hand, every game is like the finals for the North London club from here on.
The Red Devils will have most of their squad available from last week’s 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad. However, only 18 players traveled to Spain due to injuries. The Portuguese manager could be without as many as 11 players when hosting the Gunners. Among the key absentees for the Super Sunday clash could be Amad Diallo, Harry Maguire, and Manuel Ugarte.
(STARTING XI): Andre Onana; Leny Yoro, Matthijs De Ligt, Victor Lindelof; Noussair Mazraoui, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot; Joshua Zirkzee, Alejandro Garnacho; Rasmus Hojlund.
WHAT a free-kick 🤯

Arsenal, meanwhile, is unlikely to see any key players return from injury ahead of the clash against Manchester United. Bukayo Saka, who has been sidelined for over 11 weeks, is expected to return only after the international break, confirmed Mikel Arteta. In addition, the Gunners will be without Gabriel Martinelli, Ben White, and Kai Havertz for their trip to Old Trafford.
(STARTING XI): David Raya, Jurrien Timber, William Saba, Gabriel, Riccardo Calafiori, Thomas Partey, Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Ethan Nwaneri, Mikel Merino, Leandro Trossard.
