Arsenal Vs Manchester United Schedule: The Red Devils' Mission Damaged The London Cannon's Big Four Chances
JAKARTA – Arsenal will host Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium, in the continuation of the English Premier League, Saturday, April 23 at 18.30 WIB. Both teams are clearly aiming for three points to maintain hope for the Champions League next season.
Arsenal revived their efforts in the Champions League zone with a 4-2 win over Chelsea in midweek. Meanwhile, Manchester United gave up in a 4-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield.
Arsenal is currently in fifth position in the standings with a collection of 57 points. The number is the same as the acquisition of Tottenham Hotspur who occupy the last place in the top four.
If they succeed in bending the Red Devils, Mikel Arteta's team will automatically move up to fourth position, shifting Tottenham Hotspur.
Currently, Arsenal is in fifth place in the standings with 57 points, equal to Tottenham. Meanwhile, Manchester United currently fill one place below Arsenal with 54 points.
The mission to get three points at the Emirates Stadium will likely be difficult to materialize. Manchester United travel to the Emirates having recorded just two wins in their last seven Premier League games.
Apart from that, they have also lost two of their last three away matches. Another note is that Rangnick's side are still waiting for their first clean sheet away in the Premier League since the turn of the year.
In contrast, Arsenal are unbeaten in three games against their top four rivals.
In this match, MU got additional strength after the return of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portugal international previously missed the Liverpool game as he is still mourning the death of his newborn son.
Ronaldo last appeared to strengthen the Red Devils against Norwich City. In that match, the five-time Ballon d'Or owner scored a hat-trick to help his team bring home all three points in a 3-2 win.

Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Tavares; Xhaka, Elneny; Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe; Nketiah.
Manchester United (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Lindelof, Telles; Matic, McTominay; Elanga, Fernandes, Sancho; Ronaldo.
