Is Arsenal vs Manchester United on TV? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

Arsenal will look to continue their growing momentum in the Premier League against Manchester United as Ruben Amorim faces his biggest test since taking charge.

The Gunners have returned to form since Martin Odegaard came back from injury and Mikel Arteta’s side have scored five goals in their last two wins at Sporting and West Ham.

It means Arsenal look set to be Liverpool’s closest challenges for the title this season, with Arne Slot’s side opening up an 11-point lead over faltering Manchester City in the table.

United, meanwhile, are showing early promise under Amorim - who oversaw a 4-0 victory at Everton on Sunday in his first Premier League match in charge.

But facing Arsenal away from home is a different challenge - with the Gunners winning four of the last five meetings against their old rivals. Here’s everything you need to know.

When is Arsenal vs Manchester United?

The Premier League match will kick off at 8:15pm BST on Wednesday 4 December.

What is the team news?

Arsenal have to make decisions around the fitness of Gabriel Magalhaes, Thomas Partey, Mikel Merino and Riccardo Calafiori. Gabriel came off at half-time with a “niggle” while Partey and Merino were not in the squad and Calafiori’s minutes are being managed after his return from a knee injury.

Manchester United will be without the suspended Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo while Luke Shaw has suffered a set-back in his bid to make a first start since February. Leny Yoro is also an option to make his debut.

Confirmed line-ups

Arsenal XI: Raya: Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Zinchenko; Rice, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Havertz

Man Utd XI: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Maguire; Dalot, Mount, Ugarte, Malacia; Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund
