Arsenal aiming to record best-ever defensive run against Manchester United

Arsenal will be out to record their best-ever home defensive run against Manchester United during Saturday's Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners went down 3-2 to a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired Red Devils at Old Trafford earlier in the season but have produced a spate of solid performances at home against the 20-time English champions.

Arsenal have taken seven points from the last nine on offer against Man United in Premier League clashes at the Emirates, recording a clean sheet on each occasion.

Should Mikel Arteta's side prevent the Red Devils from finding the back of the net on Saturday, they will keep four home clean sheets against Man United in the league for the first time in their history.

Jesse Lingard was the last player to score a league goal for Man United at the Emirates in a 3-1 win for the Red Devils back in December 2017, with Antonio Valencia also on the scoresheet that night.

Arsenal currently sit three points clear of Manchester United with a game in hand and can temporarily rise to fourth in the Premier League table with victory on Saturday lunchtime.
