Arsenal have made a flying start to the season, winning all of their first five games. E don leave Gunners wondering if maybe get the title challenge for dia offing.
Today, however, is the first real test of that notion. The away game at Palace on matchday one was a difficult task for Mikel Arteta's men, but since then they have faced promoted teams and teams that struggle at the start of the season.
Manchester United are still in the early stages of Erik ten Hag's regime, but there are no clear signs of progress.
There were two defeats and an unfortunate experience at the start, but since then they have won three in a row, including a very impressive victory against Liverpool in their last home game.
Dem don spend over £150m on two new players late in di window to strengthen fia already talent-packed squad.
An Arsenal win today would put them four points clear at the top. A United win would leave them just three points behind the Gunners as the battle for top spot tightens.
