Arsenal’s last three Premier League home games against Manchester United have seen them win 3-1, 3-2 and 3-1 again. The last team to score 3+ goals in more consecutive home league games against the Red Devils were the Gunners themselves, who did so seven times in a row between 1970 and 1978.
Arsenal have won just two of their 17 evening kick-offs (7pm or later) against Manchester United in the Premier League (D9 L6), though one of those was in their most recent such home game in January 2020 (2-0).
Manchester United have won six of their last seven midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) Premier League games (L1), with these games producing 38 goals in total (F23 A15).
This will be Arsenal’s 500th competitive match at the Emirates Stadium in all competitions (W335 D93 L71). They’ve won 10 and lost six of their 20 meetings with Manchester United at the ground (D4), only losing more against Manchester City (9) and Chelsea (7).

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has won six of his nine Premier League games against Manchester United (D1 L2), with his first ever victory for the Gunners coming against them (2-0 in January 2020). Of all managers to face the Red Devils at least five times in the competition, Arteta has the highest win rate (67%).

Bukayo Saka has already both scored and assisted a goal in four different Premier League games this season. On only four occasions has an Arsenal player done so more in a single campaign – Thierry Henry (7 in 2002-03, 6 in 2004-05), Robin van Persie (7 in 2011-12) and Lukas Podolski (5 in 2012-13).
