Arsenal seeks historic fifth straight win against struggling Manchester United

As Manchester United prepares to host Arsenal at Old Trafford on March 9, both teams are grappling with their own crises. United finds itself in 15th place, struggling with injuries and poor form, having won just one of its last four Premier League matches and facing a depleted squad due to suspensions and injuries to key players like Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw. In contrast, Arsenal, currently in second place, aims to capitalize on United's struggles, hoping for a historic fifth consecutive win over their rivals while also trying to recover from a significant points gap behind Liverpool. The match is particularly important for Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta, marking his 200th Premier League game, as he seeks to establish his team's title ambitions amidst their own injury challenges. Both teams have pressing motivations to secure a win, with United desperate to avoid further embarrassment and Arsenal eager to maintain momentum in their pursuit of the title.
