After we successfully beat the MLS All-Stars 5-0 on Wednesday, we’ll be facing a more familiar foe in the Old Trafford side as we both gear up for the upcoming Premier League season which edges ever closer.
The match against Erik ten Hag’s side will kick off at 10pm UK time, with our Breakdown Live matchday show starting an hour earlier when Nick Bright and Adrian Clarke will be live from Emirates Stadium providing all the insight and analysis ahead of kick-off, before handing over to Max Jones and Jeremie Aliadiere on commentary.
The two Premier League foes are both in the midst of preparing for the upcoming season, and while fitness is the most important thing, bragging rights are inevitably on offer and neither will want to come out on the wrong side of this one.

Arsenal team news
Leandro Trossard has picked up injuries in both Arsenal friendlies so far this summer and surely needs a rest for this one. Reiss Nelson and Oleksandr Zinchenko remain sidelined through injury.
Thomas Partey and Emile Smith Rowe have joined up with the squad and could be given some minutes, while it’s another chance for Mikel Arteta to experiment with Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz in midfield.
Arsenal predicted lineup vs Man Utd (4-3-3): Ramsdale; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Tierney; Rice, Odegaard, Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
Man Utd team news
Erik ten Hag has most of his senior players back available to him but just how fit they are remains to be seen. Most of the international stars have only been training for a week and are therefore unlikely to play more than 45 minutes at this point.
A ‘personal issue’ has delayed Fred’s link-up with the squad, while new goalkeeper Andre Onana only joined training on Friday and may not be thrown straight into the action just yet.
Man Utd predicted lineup vs Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Kovar; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Fernandez; Mainoo; Mount; Antony, Van de Beek, Amad; Sancho
Arsenal vs Man Utd score prediction
Arsenal are undoubtedly ahead of United in terms of fitness, with Ten Hag’s senior stars still finding their footing after their summer breaks, and that could ultimately prove crucial.
Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Man Utd
