Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal visit Old Trafford this afternoon (5:30 pm, DAZN) with an urgent need to beat Manchester United to keep Manchester City’s impressive league title fight alive. The Gunners have it in their power to regain the lead and be a point above Pep Guardiola’s team, who did their homework against Fulham (0-4) and have a few games, which they will play on Tuesday against Tottenham in London. The visitor’s setback will almost certainly leave the Premier League on a plate for City, who continue to rely on themselves to retain the domestic championship.
For Arsenal, it’s the last day of the Premier League, a league that closes next Sunday against Everton at the Emirates. Ten Hag’s team will want to improve their chances of entering the European competition next season and they really need the three points. The Red Devils also want to turn the page as soon as possible on the humiliating defeat they received the previous day against Crystal Palace (4-0).
The Dutch coach can count on Rashford, Lisandro Martínez, Bruno Fernandes and McTominay this afternoon. The plague of casualties, especially in defence, will force the Ten Hag to once again place Casemiro in the central axis of the rearguard. At Arsenal, Arteta cannot guarantee the availability of Tomiyasu and Saka, who are doubtful.
