The first-division clash scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Emirates in London and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC.
What They're Saying
Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil (via the Daily Mail): "I have been in this business so long now, I have been a professional since I was 16, 17. I don't care what the press thinks about me, as football changes from day to day. You can play well one day and badly the next. I'm used to it.'
Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick (via Sky Sports): "We have had ups and downs, but hopefully that is in the past, that is over. We don't want too many ups and downs. We certainly don't want any downs. We want to try and keep progressing. We feel like we are, but as I said before, it's results that show, so now is the time we really need to get a run of results together, to build the momentum to get up that league."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Riddled with injuries at numerous positions, Manchester United turn to Antonio Valencia at right-back. The 29-year-old, stepping in for an injured Rafael (muscle injury), has seen a rise in his defensive averages in 2014. In seven league appearances, Valencia is averaging 3.7 tackles and 2.4 interceptions.
Arsenal's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Szczesny; Gibbs, Monreal, Mertesacker, Chambers; Flamini, Ramsey; Cazorla, Sanchez, Ox; Welbeck
Manchester United's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Lindegaard; Shaw, Jones, Smalling, Valencia; Fellaini, Carrick; Maria, Rooney, Januzaj; Persie
