Arsenal vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League latest score ...
Arsenal always a big game - Ten Hag
Arsenal host Manchester United this afternoon in the big match of the Premier League weekend. The Gunners are unbeaten after three matches and are aiming to jump up the table and keep the pressure on league leaders Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta’s summer signings, Kai Havertz and Declan Rice, are still adapting to playing in this new team with the manager trying to implement a more offensive-minded approach without sacrificing defensive balance. So far, Arsenal have had mixed results and they may need to fall back onto last season’s gameplans when facing Manchester United today.
For their part, United have had an indifferent start to the season. Two scratchy wins and a defeat to Spurs leave them just inside the top half of the table but they were busy on transfer deadline day with both incomings and outgoings. Erik ten Hag’s need to improve quickly, particularly in these bigger fixtures, so the added reinforcements of Sofyan Amrabat, Jonny Evans and Sergio Reguilon could prove key to their success this term.

38 mins: It’s poor from Lindelof who assumes the ball is going to bounce out of play on the left-hand side. Instead, it stays in and the Swede brings down Nketiah as he scrambles back on the cover.
A clear foul and an easy yellow card for the referee.

Well, that didn’t last long! Arsenal respond in emphatic fashion as Odegaard slams it home just 110 seconds after going behind. Martinelli was dangerous in the early stages and he’s at the heart of it again.
The Brazilian finds space on the left before cutting it back to the captain on the edge of the box who lashes his strike into the bottom-right corner past Onana.

From out of nowhere, United lead at the Emirates. Eriksen intercepts a sloppy pass before driving up the pitch. The Dane picks out a lovely through ball to find Rashford and from there, the England forward does the rest.
He cuts inside, bends it around two Arsenal defenders and Ramsdale into the far post.

18 mins: Arsenal continue to have the lion’s share of the chances in the early goings. Odegaard has a slither of space around the edge of the box but his shot is quickly closed down.

13 mins: CHANCE! That’s really messy from United at the back and it gifts Havertz a gilt-edged chance in the box. A miscued clearance lands a the feet of the German but he misfires with his left foot from close range and the away side can clear.
