For those in the UK, the question on everyone's mind is how to catch the action live. Well, fear not, as we have all the details you need. Keep reading to find out how you can stream the match, along with team news and our prediction for this exciting clash of heavyweights.
First things first, let's talk about the venue. The SoFi Stadium is home to not one, but two NFL American football teams - the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers. It's a massive arena that is no stranger to hosting high-stakes sporting events, making it the perfect setting for this much-awaited battle between Arsenal and Manchester United.
Now, let's get to the important part - how to watch the match from the comfort of your own home. For viewers in the UK, the cheapest option is to tune in to Arsenal.com or the official Arsenal app. Their coverage will begin at midnight BST, just in time for kick-off. The Gunners are also offering a special early bird deal of £4.99 for a one-game pass to watch this match against Erik ten Hag's side. However, do keep in mind that this offer is only valid until the day of the match, after which it will go up to £14.99.
If you're a Manchester United fan, you can also sign up for MUTV at £7.99 a month to catch all the action against Mikel Arteta's men. It's definitely a bit more expensive, but worth it for die-hard United supporters who don't want to miss a second of the game.
Now, let's talk team news. Both Arsenal and Manchester United have been busy with their pre-season preparations, and we've already seen some exciting performances from their players. For Arsenal, the likes of Fabio Vieira, Jurrien Timber, Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Leandro Trossard, Ben White, Martin Odegaard, Jorginho, Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Jesus, and Reiss Nelson have all featured in their pre-season matches so far. However, they still have some key players, such as Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, David Raya, William Saliba, and Kai Havertz, who are yet to return from their summer breaks. It's also worth noting that Karl Hein has been playing in goal for the Gunners.
As for Manchester United, they have a strong lineup as well, with the likes of Jadon Sancho, who has resolved his high-profile fall-out with Ten Hag, and Amad Diallo, who scored against Rangers, leading the charge. Other notable players who have traveled to the United States for this match include Andre Onana, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Mason Mount, Rasmus Hojlund, Scott McTominay, Marcus Rashford, and summer signing Leny Yoro. However, some key players, including Joshua Zirkzee, Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw, Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot, and Facundo Pellistri, are still enjoying their summer break.
It's always hard to predict the outcome of a pre-season friendly, as teams use this time to experiment with different strategies and formations. Both Arsenal and Manchester United have faced tough opponents in their pre-season matches so far, with Arsenal defeating AFC Bournemouth through penalties, and United losing to Rosenborg before beating Rangers. However, with a stronger overall squad and tougher opposition faced, Arsenal may have a slight edge. Our prediction for this match is a 2-1 win for Arsenal, but as always, we'll have to wait and see how it all plays out.
