A clash of the slightly underperforming titans takes place in north London today as Arsenal face Manchester United.
A disappointing draw against Fulham last time out left the Gunners with questions to answer, particularly after a couple of not-so-convincing performances beforehand.

However, their worries are not quite as extensive as United’s after a very curious start to the campaign. Mediocre displays at home to Wolves and Nottingham Forest have somehow yielded a pair of wins either side of a dismal effort at Tottenham.
This match therefore serves as a key early-season litmus test of both Arsenal and United’s potential for the Premier League title race.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Arsenal vs Man United is scheduled for a 4.30pm BST kick-off today, Sunday, September 3, 2023.
