Three pundits have predicted Manchester United will slip to defeat against Arsenal.
United return to the capital for the second time this season on Sunday as they North London's other big club in the hope of returning with a better result. Erik ten Hag's were beaten by Tottenham and now face the undefeated Gunners.
It's been an underwhelming start to the campaign with even the two victories against Wolves and Nottingham Forest coming in spite of underwhelming performances. United haven't been helped with injuries and are without Mason Mount, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Kobbie Mainoo, Amd and potentially Jadon Sancho and Scott McTominay for the trip to the Emirates.
They have, however, been boosted by the return to fitness of striker Rasmus Hojlund and the inclusion of new signings Sergio Reguilon, Jonny Evans and Altay Bayindir in the squad. However, Chris Sutton, Paul Merson and Mark Lawrenson agree United will be returning to Manchester without the three points.

Here's what the pundits predicted:
Both these teams I think performance-wise have underachieved albeit Arsenal have seven points from nine and Manchester United have six from nine.
I think there are question marks over whether Mikel Arteta has been tinkering too much, legitimate questions really. Manchester United just haven't sparked yet. They ended up beating Nottingham Forest with a dubious penalty.
Arsenal, at Emirates Stadium - this is going to be the kick-start to their season. I think they'll beat Manchester United but I don't think it'll be a walkover.
Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Manchester United
