Arsenal and Manchester United are both looking to challenge for top spot after Chelsea’s absence from the top four when they meet in London. Join The Roar for live updates of the match from 2:00am (AEDT).
Arsenal returns to the Emirates after slaying the Foxes 5-2 away last week. Alexis Sanchez scored a hat-trick to open his account for this season and we know that the Chilean wizard can provide against the big teams.
Theo Walcott also scored his second goal in three games and will be looking to add to his tally as he starts to make more of an impact for Arsenal this season.
Gabriel Paulista also returns from suspension at Stamford Bridge but it may be hard for him to slot straight in as Per Mertesacker put in a strong shift against Leicester.
Arsenal lost midweek at home to Olympiacos 3-2 in the Champions League. Goals again from Walcott and Sanchez show us where thy should be coming from against United, but a performance like that against Manchester United and Arsenal will be punished.
Wayne Rooney scored his first goal last week for this season and in 12 league games against Sunderland in a 3-0 home win. Rooney has scored 16 goals against the Gunners and will be out to increase that today.
Juan Mata is a man of danger as he has contributed to the most goals this season for Manchester United directly. He has scored three goals and assisted another three in seven league games.
He also scored and gave an amazing assist for Chris Smalling against Wolfsburg in the Champions League midweek where they won 2-1. He will surely cause problems out wide.
Prediction:
Manchester United are unbeaten in three league matches and Arsenal’s midweek upset may leave the Red Devils delighted with three points.
