Arsenal host Man United at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night as the Gunners look to make history against their Premier League rivals.
The North London club have returned to form in recent weeks following a minor blip in November with Mikel Arteta’s men winning their last three matches.
Arsenal will be looking to make that four on Wednesday night and if they do, the current Gunners squad will have created history. The London outfit have won their last three Premier League games against Man United but have never won four in a row against the Manchester club in their history.

Three points for Arteta’s team will give them a big boost heading into the festive period, especially after hammering West Ham 5-2 last time out.
Arteta has made four changes from last weekend’s London derby with the injured Gabriel, Calafiori, Jorginho and Trossard being replaced by Kiwior, Zinchenko, Partey and Martinelli.
Confirmed Arsenal starting 11

As for Man United, the 2024/25 campaign has been underwhelming for the Red Devils as they currently sit ninth in the Premier League standings and have parted ways with Erik ten Hag during the opening phase of the season.
Ruben Amorim has taken over from the Dutch coach and has guided the Manchester club to two wins in a row – while the 39-year-old will have to make tough decisions soon.
United were convincing 4-0 winners over Everton last time out but face a much harder task at the Emirates. Man United have lost seven out of their last nine Premier League away games against Arsenal and they are expected to suffer the same faith against Mikel Arteta’s team.
A win would be a big boost for Amorim, who has made six changes from the Everton win.
Martinez, Diallo, Mainoo, Casemiro, Rashford and Zirkzee all come out of the starting 11 for Maguire, Malacia, Mount, Ugarte, Garnacho and Hojlund.
Leny Yoro has been included in the squad to play Arsenal after returning from injury and it will be interesting to see if the youngster plays any part in the match.
