Summary

Arsenal face Manchester United on Sunday, looking to win consecutive away games at Old Trafford for the first time since 1979.

This week, Mikel Arteta’s side thumped PSV 7-1 in the Champions League, meaning there will be no distractions as they look to build on an impressive attacking display.

After a 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad, Ruben Amorim will not be afforded that luxury. Manchester United’s hopes of silverware and Champions League qualification rest on their Europa League campaign, will the United boss have one eye on Thursday’s second leg?

Arsenal writer Art de Roché and Manchester writer Mark Critchley join Adam Leventhal to preview Sunday’s tie.

Plus we check in with the club podcasts across The Athletic FC, setting you up for the big fixtures elsewhere.
