Man Utd vs Arsenal: How to watch on TV, live stream, kick-off time, team news

Manchester United play host to Premier League leaders Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday as they hope to maintain momentum after an uplift in form.

The Red Devils have won three league matches on the bounce despite a rocky start to the season which saw them lose to Brighton and Brentford in quick succession.

Jadon Sancho’s first half goal saw United claim all three points against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Thursday night, following on from a narrow 1-0 win at Southampton and a surprise 2-1 home victory over Liverpool.

Now though United take on a different kettle of fish in Arsenal who have been ultra-impressive so far this campaign, winning all five of their opening fixtures.

Mikel Arteta’s side top the Premier League having beaten Crystal Palace, Leicester, Bournemouth, Fulham and Aston Villa – United will have to be at their very best on Sunday to claim victory.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of Man Utd vs Arsenal, including the latest team news, the kick-off time, and how to watch the game on UK television.

What is the team news ahead of Man Utd vs Arsenal?

Erik ten Hag is likely to rotate somewhat as fixtures have begun to stack up over recent weeks, but Anthony Martial will definitely miss out with an Achilles’ tendon injury.

United’s £86 million summer signing Antony could make his Premier League debut as he’s eligible for the fixture.

Defender Victor Lindelof is back in training and could return to the matchday squad, whereas young winger Facundo Pellistri (ankle) remains a doubt.
