Arsenal host Manchester United in a huge early-season Premier League match at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
The Gunners are unbeaten through their opening three top-flight games in 2023/24 but were held to a 2-2 draw by 10-man Fulham at home last time out.
United fought back to defeat Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford, winning 3-2 after falling 2-0 down after just four minutes, and they sit just a point behind Arsenal heading into this match.
The meeting in north London, which is the final match for these sides before the September international window, will be an interesting litmus test of their credentials this season. Victory for either side would inspire positivity around their progress, while defeat would likely encourage significant scrutiny of their form.
The Sporting News will be following the Arsenal vs. Man United match live, providing score updates, commentary, and highlights as they happen.

1 hour 30 mins to kick: The Manchester United sale continues to simmer in the background, with still no movement on pulling the trigger, and it feels like even journalists are getting fed up with how long it’s taking the Glazer family to make a decision.
Manchester United bidders remain interested in buying the club. Nothing has changed yet as far as they are aware. Source involved in the process says Glazers should take the money and go, they have two massive bids which value the club at far more than its share price has ever…

1 hour 45 mins to kick: Arsenal have their own returning star at the striker position. Gabriel Jesus will reportedly make his full return from injury in this match, having come on just a minute from full-time against Fulham last time out. He’ll reportedly start today, and that will be a welcome sight for Arsenal despite the fact Eddie Nketiah filled in admirably.
Jesus has never scored against Manchester United, but is unbeaten when he does find the net in Premier League play.
Gabriel Jesus has never scored against Manchester United in 10 games in the Premier League, but when he does score, he has never been on the losing side in the competition in 56 games.#ARSMUN
