Manchester United host Arsenal in the Premier League this afternoon with both sides looking to keep up their good form.

United have now won three in a row under Erik ten Hag after a tricky start to the season, conceding just once in that run.

Arsenal are the only Premier League team to have won five from five this term and will be looking to make it six from six.

United go with David De Gea in goal, behind what is becoming an increasingly familiar back four of Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia.

Scott McTominay keeps his place in midfield ahead of Casemiro, partnering Christian Eriksen in midfield.

The big news is on the right flank as new signing Antony comes straight into the team, joining Bruno Fernandes and Jadon Sancho in supporting Marcus Rashford up top.

Cristiano Ronaldo has to settle for a place on the bench again, joining Martin Dubravka, Tom Heaton, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Casemiro, Fred and Anthony Elanga.

Arsenal have Aaron Ramsdale between the sticks despite a fitness concern, with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes as the centre backs again.

Oleksandr Zinchenko starts despite being expected to miss out according to Mikel Arteta, featuring at left back whilst Ben White continues on the right.

Albert Sambi Lokonga continues in midfield with Granit Xhaka, deputising for the injured Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny.

Bukayo Saka, Martin Ödegaard and Gabriel Martinelli all start, supporting Gabriel Jesus in the final third.

Fabio Vieira and Emile Smith Rowe both make the Arsenal bench, joining Matt Turner, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Cedric Soares, Rob Holding, Kieran Tierney, Marquinhos and Eddie Nketiah.
