Arsenal vs Man Utd: TV channel, live stream, plus team & injury news as key trio return for United
It’s a huge game in the race for the top four, as Manchester United travel to the Emirates.
Manchester United travel to Arsenal this Saturday knowing that a loss could all but end their hopes of gaining a top-four place this season.
The Red Devils suffered another humiliating loss in midweek when they were beaten 4-0 by Liverpool, just 24 hours before Arsenal earned a huge win away to Chelsea.
It leaves the Gunners and Tottenham Hotspur three points clear of sixth-place United in the race for the final Champions League spot, although both London teams have a game in hand, which incidentally is against each other.
It means United are still somehow in the hunt for fourth place despite their terrible campaign to date, which has seen meek and brittle performances week after week.
The squad could, however, be boosted by the announcement of Erik ten Hag as their new manager, with the Dutchman set to take charge in the summer. Meanwhile, fans will hope the stinging criticism of the team this week could stir a reaction from the players.
Following the trip to Arsenal, which kicks off at 12.30pm on Saturday, United only have four more games remaining this season, meaning time is running out to claw back points on the other members of the chasing pack.
It was United who won the last time the sides met, when Michael Carrick oversaw a 3-2 win over Arsenal in December, the last game before Ralf Rangnick took charge of the team.
What’s the latest team news?
Speaking in Friday’s press conference, Rangnick confirmed that Paul Pogba will not be available for the game and could have played his last match for the club given an injury he picked up in midweek may keep him out until the end of the season.
But there’s better news regarding the fitness of Scott McTominay and Raphael Varane, both of whom are fit again after recent knocks.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo should be back in the squad after he missed Wednesday’s trip to Anfield following the tragic death of his baby son.
Luke Shaw, Fred and Edinson Cavani are still out for the Red Devils, who could rotate given they play again on Thursday against Chelsea.
As for Arsenal, Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey remain on the sidelines through injury.
Is the match on TV?
The game will be shown live on BT Sport 1 in the UK, with the pre-match build-up beginning at 11.30am. The BT Sport app will also live stream the game.
How can I watch highlights?
Highlights will be available on the BT Sport YouTube channel, while both clubs will show the main moments on their media channels around two hours after its completion. Match of the Day will start at the slightly earlier time of 10.20pm on Saturday.
