ManchesterUnited face Arsenal at Old Trafford, and here are the possible outcomes of the Sunday's big clash in the Premier League.
On Manchester United recent form
Manchester United picked up back-to-back losses to commence the Erik Ten Hag era, consequently finding themselves bottom after two gameweeks. However, three (3) league wins on the bounce - the first time they've achieved that feat since December, propelled the Red Devil's into the top five, with a noticeable uplift in performance levels and defensive quality.
Sustaining these positive elements is a of Paramount importance for the head coach, with what has historically proven to be quite a mentally fragile squad, and what better way to broadcast their recent improvement than against an in-form Arsenal side at Old Trafford.
Manchester United head coach will be at attentive to his side's abject clean sheet record at the Theatre of Dreams, keeping just one in their previous seven league games.
So channeling this new-found defensive solidity should be prioritised if United are to secure a positive result against Mikel Arteta's men.
On Arsenal recent form
It's been eighteen (18) years since Arsenal last won their opening five Premier League fixtures, a Stark contrast to last season where they started the campaign with three (3) defeats and having conceded nine (9) goals.
Arteta's revitalised side are manufacturing some potent attacking sequences from the first whistle, netting the opening goal in four of the first contests.
A trip to Old Trafford, where the Gunners have won only once in their previous 15 visits, may well be a conclusive indicator as to the current whereabouts of this squad's quality, especially after what has been an arguably favourable run of fixtures to start their campaign.
They can make a bit of history if they can continue their winning trend though, as Arsenal have never previously secured six successive opening Premier League victories.
Players to watch
Jadon Sancho seems to be finally finding his feet at United, with both his Premier League goals this season serving as the game's opener. Meanwhile, United are just one of two current Premier League teams that the invigorated Gabriel Jesus has played against but not scored, he'll be determined to add to his tally of three (3) for the season against his old Manchester rivals.
Hot stat
Seven of Arsenal's last nine (9) Premier League away fixtures have seen only one side score.
Prediction
Draw or win for Arsenal according to head to head (H2H).
