Arsenal supporters will be hoping to rebound in today’s crucial match against Manchester United after the disappointing result against Fulham last week.
We only managed to earn a point at The Emirates, while United came back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Nottingham Forest last week and earn all three points.
Arteta will need to have faith in his team to try and win a rivalry game that already carries a lot of weight on its shoulders.
Is the matchup with United a must win if we want to stay with the defending champions considering how well Manchester City has played so far?
We had the best start in history last season and got off to an amazing start, but this season feels a little different.
It appears that things may be improving given the departures, the injury to new signing Jurrien Timber, and the presence of Thomas Partey on the operating table.
We must maintain pace if we intend to compete for the title. Does Arteta stick with his current formations or does he return to the fundamentals and use what has been shown to be effective against United?
This, in my opinion, is one of our most important games of the year, and it might help put us in a position where we can keep improving and contend for the Premier League championship.

In order to win against Manchester United, Mikel Arteta must start one of his top players.
In an effort to build on the title-challenging performance of the previous season in 2023–24, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have had a strong start to the new season.
The north Londoners dropped their first two points of the campaign last weekend at home to Fulham in a dramatic match at the Emirates, but the Spaniard has so far guided his team to two victories out of three in the Premier League.
For the third time at home this year, the Gunners conceded in the first few minutes of the game, which was a far cry from the desired outcome.
This feat must be broken on Sunday when Arsenal host Manchester United in what looks to be an exciting matchup.

Eddie Nketiah, an English player, has been listed as a potential injury doubt after suffering a knee injury against Fulham, but he might still be able to play against United.
This is a huge boost for Arteta, who will have his first-choice striker available for the match, as Gabriel Jesus made his return to action after missing the start of the season due to a knee injury.
In terms of transfers, Rob Holding and Kieran Tierney both left on loan before the transfer window closed, igniting speculation about who might start at the back.
Will Gabriel Magalhaes face Manchester United from the beginning?
When compared to the 2022–23 season, during which the Brazilian played in every Premier League game, Gabriel Magalhaes’ absence from the starting lineup has caused some confusion at the beginning of the current campaign.
In a change of tactical options at the back, the 25-year-old has started on the bench for the first games, which may not have worked as well as expected for Arteta.
With Thomas Partey starting at right back, Ben White and William Saliba at center back, and Jakub Kiwior on the left side, the defense against Fulham lacked cohesion.
One of the things that made Arsenal tick last season was the partnership of White and Oleksandr Zinchenko at full-back, with Saliba and Gabriel at the center of defense, a dynamic that has been missing thus far.
The Brazilian’s case for being reinstated to the starting eleven has been strengthened by the Spaniard’s decision to test the waters with unfamiliar setups against United.
The 25-year-old, dubbed a “monster” by journalist Jason Soutar, earned a 7.1 Sofascore match rating the last time the two sides played competitively, winning all of his ground duels and helping to muffle Marcus Rashford’s roar.
With United’s vivacious Englishman eager to add to his scoring total for the 2023–24 season, if used in his usual position on Sunday, the former Lille machine could repeat history at a crucial moment.
Arteta’s return to the Gunners’ defense against the Red Devils, a match that both teams must win given their intense rivalry, could also bring back the £27 million player.
