Arsenal, on the other hand, is the only club with a 100 percent win rate in the Premier League and sits on top of the table with 15 points after five matches.
Gabriel Jesus – who left Manchester City after the arrival of Erling Haaland – has been in red-hot form and will be leading the attack against United.
He has been directly involved in six goals in his first five Premier League appearances for the Gunners, a club record in the competition, overtaking Mesut Özil (five).
For the Red Devils, their recent signing Antony might just be the attacking solution for Erik Ten Hag along the wings.
