Manchester United and Arsenal are set for big clash to open their respective Premier League season. United are hoping for a strong start after a tough campaign last year, where they finished 15th, their lowest ever in the Premier League era.

One of United’s biggest problems last season was scoring goals. They managed just 44 goals, the fifth fewest in the league. To fix that, the club has added new attacking players over the summer, including Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and rising star Benjamin Sesko.

Arsenal, meanwhile, are determined to finally win the Premier League after finishing runners-up three years in a row. The Gunners last won the title in 2004 and will be aiming to end their 22-year wait. To boost their chances, Arsenal have brought in several new signings goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, defender Christian Norgaard, winger Noni Madueke, and striker Viktor Gyokeres.

The Gunners will be looking to carry their strong form into this match. They’re unbeaten in their last five league games against United. In total, Manchester United and Arsenal have faced each other 66 times in the Premier League. United have won 26 of those games, Arsenal have won 21, and 19 matches have ended in a draw.
