Manchester United face a major test under Ruben Amorim as they travel to the Emirates for a Premier League clash with Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta's revitalized Arsenal were close to matching their record-breaking 6-0 win over West Ham last season, as they raced to a 4-0 lead inside 36 minutes in Saturday's derby. However, an unlikely comeback attempt from West Ham, with goals from full-backs Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Emerson Palmieri, was thwarted by a Bukayo Saka penalty, capping a thrilling seven-goal first half. Arsenal maintained their dominance with a scoreless second half, securing a third consecutive win, all by a margin of three goals or more. The Gunners are once again Liverpool's closest challengers, sitting just above Chelsea due to alphabetical order.
Since the November international break, Arsenal have been in scintillating form and will celebrate a milestone on Wednesday, hosting their 500th competitive club match at the Emirates.
Meanwhile, Manchester United, under new boss Ruben Amorim, have seen a revival in attack, with strikers Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee both scoring braces in Sunday's 4-0 win over Everton. This victory marked their fourth consecutive home win in all competitions, lifting them to ninth in the Premier League, just four points behind the Champions League spots. However, their away form remains a concern, with six winless games on the road, five of which ended in draws.
Historically, United have struggled against Arsenal, losing their last three league meetings and failing to win at the Emirates since a 3-1 FA Cup victory in January 2019.
