The Gunners will take a giant step towards winning their first Premier League title in almost two decades today if they can beat Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium. With Manchester City beating Wolves earlier in the day, Arsenal know exactly the size of their lead – with two games in hand – ahead of kick-off.
There is a slightly vintage feeling to this clash as United look to make a title challenge of their own, from eight points back having played a game more. For years, the duels of Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson were pivotal in deciding the destination of the trophy.
Erik ten Hag‘s side are on a 10-game unbeaten run and are, so far, the only team to beat Arsenal in the league this season. Mikel Arteta‘s hosts have won four of their last five. Follow Arsenal vs Manchester United LIVE via Standard Sport’s match blog, with Simon Collings and Malik Ouzia in north London to provide expert analysis.

Intriguing to see if Arteta goes to his bench in these final 20 minutes. He’s got the players to change it in Smith Rowe and Trossard, but this game feels so in the balance. One wrong move could swing it either way.
