The assignment hasn’t changed for Arsenal – they must win both of their remaining games to stand a chance of collecting their first Premier League title in over 20 years.
Unfortunately for them, the situation is out of their hands with Manchester City just a point behind with an extra match left to play.
The Cityzens are up first this weekend as they travel to Craven Cottage on Saturday lunchtime to take on Fulham, who they’ve beaten in each of their last 15 contests.
But whatever the outcome, Mikel Arteta’s side head to Old Trafford knowing they require maximum points to keep their dreams alive.
And they arrive in excellent touch having won each of their last four Premier League games on the spin, scoring 13 goals and keeping three clean sheets.
But despite United’s horrendous form, Old Trafford hasn’t exactly been a happy hunting ground for the Gunners.
Arsenal have won just twice in their last 21 visits, and haven’t completed a league double over Manchester United since 2006-07.
Erik ten Hag, who is highly unlikely to be United’s manager next season, watched his side get thumped 4-0 by Crystal Palace on Monday – and have only managed one win in 90 minutes in their last nine matches.
Odds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.
The temptation is to side with Manchester United to get an unexpected result. They’ve done it a few times this season, most notably against Liverpool while also banking wins against Aston Villa and Chelsea.
And it would be a very ‘Manchester United’ thing to do to pull something out of the bag when people least expect.
However, they were nothing short of abysmal against both Burnley and Crystal Palace in their last two outings, allowing a combined 34 shots on goal against two of the lowest scoring sides in the division.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are the highest scorers in the league with 88 in 36 matches and also rank third behind Manchester City and Liverpool for most shots on target (209).
Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is already enjoying his most profitable campaign to date having struck 20 goals in 46 appearances.
16 of those have been in the Premier League, and 10 of those have arrived since the turn of the year – including one against Tottenham and Bournemouth in the last two outings.
Only Erling Haaland has had more attempts on goal than Saka (106), while the England star has three goals in eight against United – his best record against any club other than Bournemouth.
Referee Paul Tierney has officiated four Arsenal games this season, but he’s only booked three Gunners players. He’s been in charge of one Manchester United game and booked four. So we’re looking at United players for bookings on Sunday.
Of United’s players expected to line up, nobody has committed more fouls than Diogo Dalot (39) and the Portuguese will likely add to that tally up against Bukayo Saka – who’s drawn 67 fouls this season.
