The Gunners have won just one of their past 16 Premier League games there — and that was in 2020 when the ground was empty due to Covid.
Before that, you have to go all the way back to 2006 to find the last time Arsenal left Old Trafford with three points.
What Mikel Arteta would give for that to be the case on Sunday.
With two games to go in the title race, Arsenal are top of the Premier League and one point clear of Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola’s side, however, have a game in hand and they will go top if they win at Fulham in tomorrow’s lunchtime kick-off.
That would put the pressure on Arsenal, who know that a win will guarantee this title race goes down to the final day.
It feels like the least Arteta’s side deserve for a run of form that would have seen them crowned champions in previous years.
Since the turn of the year, they have won 14 league games, drawn at Manchester City and lost just once. No team has won more points in 2024, but still the title is not in Arsenal’s hands.
That run of form, though, is why the Gunners should not fear going to Old Trafford this weekend.
