Manchester United vs Arsenal: Match Preview, Head-to-Head, Prediction, Possible Lineup, and Team News

Match Preview

Manchester United vs Arsenal is undoubtedly going to be one of the most exciting games of the 2025/2026 Premier League season this weekend.

As both teams look forward to starting the season on a strong and positive note, fans can expect a competitive game from both sides.

Both teams have added new faces, preseason has been done, and now it’s time to kick off the season in front of thousands of their fans.

Mikel Arteta, who is the Gunners boss, has asserted that the only thing his Arsenal team is lacking is a major trophy, as the rest of all issues surrounding team building have been done.

Arsenal is going into this game as the favorites after finishing second in the Premier League for three consecutive times.

With the inclusion of Victor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Christhian Mosquera, Christian Norgaard, and Kepa Arrizabalaga, the Gunners will be going all out in search of a win at Old Trafford.

Ruben Amorim, on the other hand, will also be looking forward to kick-starting the season on a positive note after having performed abysmally last season.

The Portuguese coach has had a major shakeup in his attack. They struggled to score goals last season after creating many decent chances.

This season, the Reds are coming off with two of the best players in the Premier League last season (Matheus Cunha and Mbuemo) and also the best young striker in Europe in the shape of Benjamin Sesko.

Despite Manchester United being strong at Old Trafford, Arsenal has always had the upper hand on the Red Devils with 5 wins and 2 draws as against United’s 3 wins and 5 losses.

In all, we are hoping to witness a competitive game, as both teams have strengthened their squad for this season.

Team News

Manchester United.

Ruben Amorim has given his team news ahead of the big tie against Arsenal.

The Red boss has asserted that all his players are fit to play against Arsenal except Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez, who are out of the game.

Noussair picked up an injury during United’s preseason tour in the USA. Lisandro Martinez is also recovering from the ACL he picked up last season.

When asked about the new signing, Benjamin Sesko, the Red boss said Sesko is ready physically and mentally to play the game on Sunday.

Though he’s not had enough time to prepare, the coach believes that, physically, Benjamin is strong enough to play but will see if he will start.
