Today on LiveScore: Old foes collide in tasty Premier League clash

Manchester United entertain rivals Arsenal at Old Trafford as a thrilling round of midweek Premier League action comes to a close.

We look ahead to that blockbuster clash along with the evening’s other fixture as Tottenham host Brentford. 

United vs Arsenal

There will be no love lost when United and Arsenal meet this evening — even if the two clubs are not currently the forces of old.

Instead of a title race, the two Premier League giants look set to be embroiled in the battle for fourth place this term.

Yet there will still be plenty of buzz around the clash with the Red Devils on the cusp of a new era having announced Ralf Rangnick as their new boss earlier this week.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners are enjoying a much-improved campaign and can leapfrog West Ham into fourth spot with a victory.

To preview the contest, we have pulled together our LiveScore combined XI from across the two squads — take a look and be sure to let us know what you think on social media.

We also roll back the years by recounting five classic clashes between the two sides.

Crammed with controversy, these matches are etched in football folklore and provided many of the English game’s most memorable moments.

Finally, our match preview is centred around the battle between Emile Smith Rowe and Martin Odegaard to be Arsenal’s chief creator.

Tottenham vs Brentford

Arsenal’s North London rivals are also in action this evening as Antonio Conte’s Spurs face a challenging home clash against Brentford.

The Italian, 52, must now realise the scale of the task on his hands after a shaky start to his reign, most recently going down 2-1 to Slovenian minnows Mura in the Europa Conference League last Thursday.

With January approaching, former Premier League winner Conte will be desperate to bring in some fresh faces and start moulding a team in his image. 

We take a closer look at the key problems he must fix ahead of tonight’s game.

Transfer Talk

Alongside the match previews, we have our daily Transfer Talk column on hand to round up the best whispers from football’s rumour mill.
