Arsenal have lost only two matches all season, both coming in the league, against Aston Villa and Liverpool.

Both of those defeats came away from home and Arsenal have only dropped points at home in the league in the 1-1 draw with Manchester City, when Gabriel Martinelli rescued a late point.

That is the size of the task for Carrick's United side, who last won an away match on 8 Dec. when they defeated bottom of the league Wolves 4-1 at Molineux.

Last time they met, Arsenal held on to beat United 1-0 at Old Trafford, thanks to Riccardo Calafiori's early goal in the first game of the season.
