Mikel Arteta has told his Arsenal players to shed any inferiority complex when they visit Old Trafford on Sunday and aim for a win that would consolidate their position as Premier League leaders. On paper a meeting with Manchester United, who have recovered from a woeful start to win their past three games under Erik ten Hag, is the most daunting assignment of Arsenal’s season to date.
They are yet to drop a point but have won just once at the Red Devils’ home since 2006. That was two seasons ago but last December they reverted to type, losing 3-2 despite entering the game in good form and taking an early lead.
