Arsenal head to Manchester United on Sunday looking to avoid a costly slip-up in the Premier League title race.

The Gunners are heavy favourites to win but have left Old Trafford with all three points just once in their last 16 visits, a run which also includes 10 defeats.

Any dropped points will surely hand the title to Manchester City, who can move above Arsenal with a victory for Fulham on Saturday lunchtime.

United, meanwhile, continue to trudge towards the finish line. They were thumped 4-0 at Crystal Palace last time out and are in danger of slipping out of Europa League contention.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Manchester United vs Arsenal is scheduled for a 4.30pm BST kick-off on Sunday, May 12, 2024.

The match will take place at Old Trafford in Salford.

Man Utd vs Arsenal team news

Bruno Fernandes remains a doubt having missed the defeat at Selhurst Park, which was the first game the captain has ever missed through injury. Scott McTominay could also return, and both Marcus Rashford and Lisandro Martinez have returned to first-team training. Harry Maguire may not play again this season.

Arsenal have a clean bill of health for the first time this season. Jurrien Timber is in contention to make his first appearance since the opening day and could make the squad.

Man Utd vs Arsenal prediction

The fact United are so long in the market to win at home tells the whole story. Arsenal have a woeful record at Old Trafford but surely have never had a better chance of a win, coupled with the fact they simply cannot afford not to.

United’s form under Erik ten Hag is relegation-worthy, conceding a remarkable number of shots and doing little at the other end. Arsenal, perhaps more than any other team in the league, are primed to capitalise. This could be a bloodbath.

Arsenal to win, 3-0.
