Previewing Sunday's huge Premier League clash between old foes Manchester United and Arsenal. Will the Gunners claim a statement victory?

That’d be a pretty good result for the Gunners. Mikel Arteta may also be hamstrung by several big injuries and while the likes of Lokonga stepped up against Villa in the week, Sunday’s contest will be a much more challenging proposition. The Gunners continued to purr in the absence of Thomas Partey and Oleksandr Zinchenko as [Sambi Lokonga shone on a rare start](https://paininthearsenal.com/2022/09/01/sambi-lokonga-takes-arsenal-chance-hands/). Varane has established a stout partnership with summer arrival Lisandro Martinez. While the end to their summer window was somewhat underwhelming, the confidence flowing through Mikel Arteta’s side right now is unlike anything we’ve seen in years at the Emirates. A vintage rivalry renewed.

In-form Arsenal head to Old Trafford trying to protect the only one hundred per cent record in England's top four divisions.

The fly in the ointment is Antony, who could easily be an instant difference maker, but this looks a much more resilient version of Arsenal than recent versions and United might not find it easy to create big chances. With United looked much more assured defensively themselves, the obvious betting route is to go low on goals. That being said, if there can be a criticism of Arsenal so far this term it is probably their inability to finish big chances on occasions, something that ultimately enabled Aston Villa to stay in the game in midweek before Martinelli's winner. Defensively, they are not giving up many big opportunities, indeed only Fulham have managed to break through the 1.0 xGF barrier against Arsenal so far this term. Southampton and Leicester are not easy places to go, but United didn't hit top gear in either game. There is no doubt that the summer transfer window has been a good one for United; despite the fact that they are still crying out for a top-class striker, Erik ten Hag has a squad that really should at least be capable of pushing for a top four finish along with going deep in the Europa League.

Rewind: Premier League leaders Arsenal travel to Old Trafford this weekend - here's 11 of our best wins over The Red Devils.

It was only to set up a dramatic finale late in the second with David Platt meeting a corner and burying the ball in the net. Managing to find a dusty back street bar full of Spanish speaking locals and one very gutted United fan I got very drunk that night watching Wiltord win the league for us, in my Arsenal shirt that I would later swap for an all-night lock in with a barman in Guatemala. For the FA the game was infamous for the touchline spat that saw 21 out of the 22 players get involved in a lot of over-eager shoving and a few kicks. In the madness Vieira slid to the ground and promptly tweaked knee ligaments that put him out for a month. It didn’t help that I was already battered from a heavy weekend in Newcastle in between attending the 0-0 at a freezing but raucous Roker Park. A mate of mine was crushed against the fence that cut the North Bank terrace in two and lost all feeling in his arm for the next week at school. Our season would culminate in the never-to-be-forgotten victory at Anfield whilst Alex Ferguson was sacked the next season after a third round cup defeat to Forest…. The 4-0 League Cup win against United meant less than a row of beans in the scheme of things - another double for us the coming May took care of that - apart from the fact it was the biggest win in a first team fixture against United since our last but one double winning team: Who says statistics can’t be fun? This wasn’t a game that would last long in the memory. Brian Talbot, a good honest pro who never let the club down was on an inspired run of form after a hat-trick in the previous league game at Highbury against a Man City that was about to be relegated watched by a mere 16,000. United were more concerned with facing Brighton in the forthcoming FA Cup Final and the Gunners season had collapsed with two demoralising semi- final defeats by United in the League Cup and FA Cup. Arsenal in the middle of their championship clinching run of 10 league wins in a row, rode their luck then saw their flying Dutchman run onto a flick from Anelka to slot a late goal past a despairing Schmicel.
