The Gunners appear to have regained their mojo following a four-game winless run across all competitions, in the past week alone they’ve scored five goals against Sporting CP and West Ham in successive away fixtures after also brushing aside Nottingham Forest.

Having said that, Mikel Arteta’s side can ill afford another slip-up in their quest to be crowned champions as they go into this midweek round of fixtures nine points behind league leaders Liverpool.

United head to the capital on the back of a 4-0 thrashing of Everton on Sunday afternoon, a scoreline - their biggest in the Premier League this season - that new head coach Ruben Amorim suggested slightly flattered his side.

Unbeaten in three under the Portuguese tactician and into the top half of the table, the Red Devils’ recent resurgence is sure be examined at the Emirates in a clash that has provided many classics over the years.

Arsenal vs Manchester United is scheduled for an 8:15pm GMT kick-off tonight on Wednesday December 4, 2024.

The match will take place at the Emirates Stadium in north London.

Arsenal vs Manchester United team news

Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu are certain to miss out for Arsenal, while Thomas Partey, Mikel Merino and Myles Lewis-Skelly are all doubtful after missing the win over West Ham.

Arteta was coy on the fitness levels of Gabriel, Partey and Merino when speaking to reporters on Tuesday.

“We are going to have a meeting this afternoon,” he said. “We had to monitor and keep a few away from some activities. I know they all want to play."

United will be without suspended pair Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez after they both picked up their fifth yellow card of the season against Everton. Leny Yoro, however, could make his competitive debut in some capacity after being spotted with the travelling squad.

Luke Shaw will not be available after suffering an injury setback.

Arsenal vs Manchester United prediction

United are enjoying life under Amorim so far and though the Portuguese has stated that his side still have a long way to go, the early signs are good with Marcus Rashford, Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund all rediscovering their goalscoring boots.

However, the Gunners have returned to form themselves, Saka and Martin Odegaard in particular, are playing well and home advantage should be enough to keep them in touch with Liverpool.

Arsenal to win, 2-1.
