Arsenal and Manchester United will renew hostilities in a crunch Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon.
The final top-flight fixture before the September international break is a fascinating one, as two title hopefuls go head-to-head in north London. Both teams have had decent starts to the season if you go by the table, but dig a little deeper and there are a few murmurings of discontent around Arsenal and United.
For the former, there is bemusement at the absence of Gabriel Magalhaes up to now after his consistent performances last term. There are question marks over Thomas Partey at right-back, and Kai Havertz is already attracting criticism from supporters.
As for United, they are yet to play well over 90 minutes this season. Erik ten Hag's team were extremely fortunate to beat Wolves in gameweek one. They then lost 2-0 to Tottenham and went 2-0 down to Nottingham Forest last weekend, only to fight back to win 3-2.
Questions will be asked of the loser of this game, then, so the stakes are pretty high for an early-season encounter.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
