Arsenal managed to arrest their recent slump in form with an impressive victory over Chelsea on Wednesday. Manchester United beat Norwich at the weekend but were humiliated in a 4-0 defeat by Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday. Both teams will be desperate for a win in order to boost their Champions League hopes for next season. 

Manchester United go into the weekend three points behind Tottenham and Arsenal but have played a game more than both. The Gunners can go into fourth with a win and put pressure on Spurs to beat Brentford in the late kick-off. Ralf Rangnick and his side need to restore some pride before the arrival of newly-announced manager Erik Ten Hag. 

Arsenal will be without Kieran Tierney and Thomas Partey. However, fullback Takehiro Tomiyasu has sufficiently recovered from his recent injury to be on the bench.

Ronaldo is back for Manchester United, having been on leave following the tragic loss of his newborn son earlier this week. Paul Pogba, though, will be out for several weeks.

Here's how they line up:

Arsenal: Ramsdale, Soares, White, Gabriel, Nuno Tavares, Odegaard, Smith Rowe, Elneny, Saka, Nketiah.

Manchester United: De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Varane, Telles, Sancho, Matic, McTominay, Fernandes, Elanga, Ronaldo.

Who can claim the much-needed three points? Find out by watching the Arsenal vs Manchester United live stream. Read on and we'll show you how to do that.

How to watch the Arsenal vs Manchester United live stream wherever you are

The Arsenal vs Manchester United live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long term.

Speed, security and simplicity combine to make ExpressVPN our favorite VPN service. In our testing, we were impressed by its fast connection times and by its ability to access more than 3,000 services in 160 locations across 94 countries. A 30-day money-back guarantee is another bonus.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to NBC, Peacock or another service and watch the game.

Fubo.TV is another option for live TV. Their Pro Plan costs $70 per month but gives you 121 channels, including USA, plus lots more for sports fans to enjoy.

Canadians can watch the Arsenal vs Manchester United live stream on DAZN

Sadly, DAZN no longer offers new customers a 30-day free-trial period, so you'll have to pay the $20 CAD per month fee, although you can save a little by buying annually ($150 CAD). DAZN, if you're unfamiliar, has apps on every single streaming platform there is.

Canadians stuck abroad that still want their low-price alternative can use a VPN such as ExpressVPN to trick their streaming device to thinking it's back in the great white north.
