Arsenal vs Manchester United live stream: Watch EPL online
By Josh Sippie
Arsenal and Manchester United both face a test of varying magnitude today, so here are all the facts and where to watch the match unfold.
Arsenal are taking a superb couple of Premier League results into a fantastic opportunity to deal a serious blow to a direct rival that is above them in the table. Manchester United, meanwhile, sit four points over their hosts and have yet to really prove themselves in any major test.

The Gunners showed Chelsea and Tottenham, away and at home, respectively, that they are up for a challenge and can stick it to at team that they recently have not been able to stick it to. Manchester United have parked the bus against top teams and once lost, once achieved their 0-0 result, and once dropped 1-0.
Take of those results what you will, the matter at hand is the clash at the Emirates.

In terms of team news, United are in the tougher position of the two. Nemanja Matic, who has always given the Gunners trouble, has picked up a knock and is doubtful. Marouane Fellaini, who I irresponsibly pegged as a threat, is out for the match. Eric Bailly and Phil Jones are both out as well. A lot of height and strength lost there.
Arsenal, on the other hand, will definitely be missing Alexandre Lacazette, which is a massive shame, but certainly not a debilitating loss (I say that hesitantly). Other than that, they see a doubtful Alex Iwobi and Theo Walcott, neither of whom was likely to feature anyway.
The only real question that the Gunners face is who to start up front. Lacazette’s void allows Olivier Giroud, Danny Welbeck or Alexis Sanchez to slip up into the striker position, all of whom bring something different to the table and all of whom will fit a different brand of tactics and a different brand of what Wenger expects Mourinho to do.
It’s definitely something to keep an eye on as the Gunners try to replicate the success of their dynamic front three without the point of that front three.
