    Amorim continues to test the quality of his squad, having made six changes to his starting XI today.
  • 35'
    Neither Raya nor Onana are having a busy first half. Both goalkeepers have had little to do so far.
  • 33'
    Garnacho doesn't look at all comfortable today playing at the Emirates. Saliba keeps putting pressure on the Argentinian, who is making a lot of inaccuracies.

    Bruno Fernandes is not getting too many chances as his teammates are not being able to find space for long passes.
  • 21'
    The Gunners are looking for United to make mistakes to win set-pieces. Corner-kick for them.

    Maguire is playing as a starter for the first time under Ruben Amorim and does not seem to fit his system, at least in this match.

  • 12'
    Manchester United have managed to regain possession, sharing it with the hosts for the time being.
  • 10'
    Dalot denies with his head a great cross from Bukayo Saka! Mikel Arteta's men are pressing as high as they usually do.
  • 7'
    Corner-kick for the Gunners! Thomas Partey misses a golden opportunity to score a header and put Arsenal ahead! The absence of Magalhaes is noticeable in the corners.

    "It's still very early in the season," said the Spaniard, whose team are second in the table, six points clear of United.
