Arsenal vs Manchester United LIVE! Premier League match stream, latest score and goal updates today
The most intriguing match of the Premier League season so far takes place today with the Emirates Stadium hosting Arsenal and Man United. With the international break looming, both teams will be determined to grab all three points and make their mark as Manchester City’s title-rivals-in-chief.
Mikel Arteta is without Thomas Partey this afternoon as Arsenal suffered a late injury blow to their preparations. Gabriel Magalhaes will hope it means he finally gets a start after curiously being dropped this season. The Gunners are unbeaten so far but a string of unconvincing displays, including conceding a late equaliser to Fulham last time out, has exposed a few cracks in Mikel Arteta’s new system.
United have also struggled this season without dropping too many points, and could give debuts to new signings Rasmus Hojlund and Sergio Reguilon. The £72million striker’s start under Erik ten Hag has been hotly anticipated following an injury delay. The visitors will hope he adds a vital clinical edge to a side very much missing one this term.

43min: Martinelli wins a corner off Lindelof.

United have improved since the goals, despite the setback of shipping an equaliser inside 35 seconds. Antony and Rashford are getting into the game more, although Arsenal continue to look a threat in possession. Good contest now.
40min: Saka booked for a clumsy foul on Fernandes, which goes down the United captain’s ankle.
VAR check for a red card but it’s not happening. Would have been very harsh.
39min: United flood forward through Anthony, who gets a little lucky when Rice fails to intercept a pass to Martial. The ball spins clear and Rashford tries his luck from 30 yards, which flies well wide.
38min: Lindelof is booked for making a mess of a clearance, instead kicking Nketiah in the head and tripping his legs in one movement.
He is booked.
37min: Onana is again trying to calm the game down, but the crowd isn’t having it. It’s some atmosphere at the Emirates, which you cannot say too often.

What a response from Arsenal. They didn’t deserve to be behind but were completely unfazed by Rashford’s fine strike. Super finish from Odegaard to cap a lovely passing move. Suddenly United look stunned.
33min: Ten Hag will be fuming at losing the lead so quickly, and so easily. The momentum is entirely with the hosts again.
GOAL!
29min: Arsenal hit back immediately! A sweeping move sees Martinelli find Odegaard in acres in the area to smash the ball home!
GOAL!
27min: Havertz’s pass is intercepted by Eriksen, a quick look up to set Rashford off running, and the striker cuts inside and fires past Ramsdale and off the inside of the post.
