Arsenal aim to extend their Premier League title lead as they face Manchester United at the Emirates this afternoon. With the race for the top spot heating up, the Gunners are hoping to regain momentum following a mixed run of results in the league.
Arsenal have enjoyed a successful week in Europe, securing a 3-1 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League. However, their domestic form has stalled in recent weeks, with goalless draws against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. Despite this, they maintain a seven-point lead at the top of the table, aided by slip-ups from Manchester City and Aston Villa.

Manager Mikel Arteta may have the services of Kai Havertz available for the match, although the German’s minutes are being carefully managed following a knee injury that has troubled him this season. Meanwhile, Manchester United will be led by Michael Carrick, who will be looking to build on a surprise victory in the Manchester derby, where his side triumphed over Pep Guardiola’s City.
