Arsenal on cusp of handing Man Utd unwanted Premier League record

Arsenal could become the first team in Premier League history to win five consecutive games against Manchester United when the two sides face off on Sunday.

The Gunners are heavy favourites heading into the game and are looking to seal three points against a United side battling down in 14th in the standings having won just three league games since the start of 2025.

Another three points would see Arsenal claim sole possession of the longest Premier League winning streak against United since the competition's inception in 1992.

Since losing 3-1 to United at Old Trafford in September 2022, Arsenal have a perfect league record against the Red Devils.

January 2023 saw a 90th-minute goal from Eddie Nketiah seal a 3-2 victory, before two stoppage-time strikes helped Arsenal turn a draw into a 3-1 win over United in September that year.

A goal from Leandro Trossard decided things when the two sides next met in May 2024, before December's 2-0 triumph saw Arsenal match the existing record for the longest win streak against United.

Brighton won four league games in a row against United between May 2022 and September 2023, tying tallies set by Manchester City (April 2013-November 2014) and Liverpool (December 2000-January 2002).

With four victories on the spin, Arsenal are currently enjoying their longest-ever top-flight winning streak against United stretching back to the first encounter back in November 1906.

United's push to avoid handing Arsenal a new record will be boosted by the fact they actually hold the most recent victory between these two sides. Just two months ago, Arsenal hosted United in the FA Cup third round and Ruben Amorim's team, after a 1-1 draw in regular time, emerged victorious in the ensuing penalty shoot-out.
