Form guide: Arsenal vs Manchester United (Premier League)
Following a disappointing draw at Selhurst Park midweek, Manchester United travel to the Emirates in their second clash with league leaders Arsenal as they look to do the double over their historic rivals.

Manchester United – D, W, W, W, W
Following nine consecutive wins in all competitions, United conceded late on in London to see two points dropped, courtesy of a Michael Olise wonder strike.
Whilst he will be undoubtedly disappointed with the points dropped on Wednesday evening, Erik ten Hag will still be happy with the form of the Reds heading into the clash with Arsenal, as United are still unbeaten in 10 matches.
Unfortunately for the Dutchman however, Casemiro will be missing for the visitors, having faced a fifth yellow card in the first half of the season, resulting in a suspension for the trip to the Emirates.
Aside from the draw, United have been on fine form, recently defeating Manchester City and climbing to third in the Premier League table.
Arsenal – W, W, D, W, W
Arsenal come into the fixture still looking strong at the top of the table and on a quest for a first league title since the 03/04 season.
Having seen off local rivals, Spurs, 2-0 in their last outing, the Gunners are in a run of form similar to United’s with four wins and a draw in their previous five fixtures.
Martin Odegaard has been in incredible form for the hosts, with any solid chance of beating the leaders resting on an ability to contain the Norwegian.
