By Harry Bamforth
We simply have to talk about David Raya.
Alisson showed how valuable it is to teams to have a top goalkeeper with his display at PSG. I mean, he won them the game.
And while I am not saying that David Raya’s display here was of that calibre, it certainly earned Arsenal a point.
He made some incredible saves in that second half, not least that one at the end from Bruno Fernandes.
As the United skipper got on the end of that ball, I thought it was a certain winner. But somehow, Raya managed to react quickly to deny him.
Compare that to Abndre Onana, who was lucky that Gabriel Martinelli didn’t have his shooting boots on at the end, even if he was offside.
You need a top goalkeeper to win things, and Raya is that.
By Harry Bamforth
Those Arsenal players look gutted.
I’m pretty sure nobody thought there was still a title race before this game, but I think even the Arsenal players think it’s done now.
That’s now just two points from their last three Premier League games; they just keep slipping up.
They may have come from behind today, but draws have been one of their biggest problems.
That was their 10th in 28 games. Yes, 10!
They never looked like winning the game after Declan Rice equalised; if anything, Manchester United looked more likely.
Another bad day at the office for Mikel Arteta’s side.
By Harry Bamforth
Arsenal drop yet more points…
Declan Rice’s second half strike means they avoid defeat, but I’m certain Mikel Arteta will not be happy with that point.
The first half was pretty forgettable in this game, but my word, the second was just brilliant.
Neither side will leave Old Trafford that happy, but Liverpool fans will be beaming.
The gap is now 15 points at the top.
By Harry Bamforth
David Raya to the rescue again for Arsenal.
I’m lost for words. He produces a stunning save to deny Bruno Fernandes, who stings a shot at goal.
The ball then bounces toward the goal line, and Raya manages to get back again and hook it away.
That is simply incredible.
By Harry Bamforth
Oh dear, oh dear…
Gabriel Martinelli hangs his head in shame after blasting the ball over the bar from three yards out.
Luckily for him, the flag spares his blushes.
Andre Onana could only parry Martin Odegaard’s shot into Martinelli’s path, and you almost think it’s a certain goal.
But nope, he somehow misses.
By Harry Bamforth
There is only four minutes of stoppage time.
That’s not very long for Arsenal to try and find a winner here – can they do it?
By Harry Bamforth
Alejandro Garnacho, you just need to look up sometimes…
The winger has Toby Collyer to his left as he tries to fashion a shot outside the area.
He just needs to slide it over to the midfielder, who is in acres of space, but he just keeps looking at the floor.
Eventually, he shoots and it’s comfortably over the bar.
By Harry Bamforth
It’s another goal-saving tackle from Arsenal. Mental.
This time, it’s Gabriel who manages to poke the ball from Rasmus Hojlund just as he is about to tap home.
It’s suddenly all Manchester United – they want this winner.
By Harry Bamforth
That is incredible from Decland Rice.
From a goalscorer at one end to a goal-stopper at the other, that’s a brilliant bit of defending.
Arsenal lose the ball by their own box, and Rasmus Hojlund looks set to find the back of the net.
But Rice somehow manages to wrap his leg around the forward to win the ball at the critical moment.
Arsenal then go up the other end, and Leandro Trossard fires just wide.
It’s all getting a bit chaotic.
By Harry Bamforth
Football players love a whinge, don’t they?
In the space of a minute both Gabriel and Casemiro moan after barely being nudged to go down.
Just stay on your feet lads, it’s not that hard!
By Harry Bamforth
Gabriel Martinelli, what are you thinking?
The winger is away down the right and just needs to play the ball across goal into the danger zone.
But he decides to go alone – I’m not sure why – and his effort at the near post is saved by Andre Onana.
He simply has to square the ball there.
By Harry Bamforth
By Harry Bamforth
The Arsenal fans are having a whale of a time now.
That equaliser has silenced the home section to a little murmur whenever they give the ball away. Like in the first half.
Meanwhile, the away end is jubilant as the fans go through their catalogue of songs.
Imagine what it will be like if they grab a winner.
By Harry Bamforth
Manchester United are looking for an instant response.
Bruno Fernandes introduces a bit more zip into their play and plays a lovely little give-and-go.
After getting the ball back, he drives the ball low toward the bottom corner, but David Raya is equal to it.
By Harry Bamforth
Erm… this is a bizarre change.
Kieran Tierney is on but it’s actually midfielder Thomas Partey who makes way.
I have no idea where Tierney is going to play, I can’t lie.
Meanwhile, Rasmus Hojlund replaces Joshua Zirkzee for Manchester United.
By Harry Bamforth
What a strike that is!
Declan Rice wheels away in celebration after hammering a brilliant equaliser into the back of the net.
Jurrien Timber does brilliantly down the right-hand side before pulling the ball back for Rice to hit it. And boy, does he hit as it crashes in off the post.
Rice goes to shush the Stretford End, but Gabriel Martinelli screams for him to get back to the halfway line and not celebrate.
They have a game to try and win.
By Chris Wheeler At Old Trafford
By Harry Bamforth
That wall certainly wasn’t 11.2 yards…
Martin Odegaard lines up to take the set-piece and you can see the Manchester United wall creep forward slowly.
It works because they easily get in the way of the Norwegian’s shot, unlike the Arsenal wall earlier.
All this wall measuring has got me going crazy, we never used to have to worry about this stuff.
By Harry Bamforth
Oh, that’s a little better from Arsenal.
Myles Lewis-Skelly has had enough of all this passing, and he just decides to go on a wander.
It ends with him winning a free-kick just outside the box after making the meal of a Matthijs de Ligt challenge.
How far will this wall go back? 11.2 yards, maybe?
By Harry Bamforth
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear…
You know things aren’t going well when Arsenal start to play corners short, jeez.
They work one all the way to Leandro Trossard outside the area, and he drags a hopeless effort well wide.
Arsenal really aren’t getting any closer here.
By Harry Bamforth
Arsenal really do love to spam crosses into the box for Mikel Merino to try and meet.
I get why, but it’s not working in the slightest.
They always seem to float over his head, and it’s not like the other forwards are likely to outjump the United backline.
They need to switch things up, otherwise, that 16-point gap to Liverpool is staying put.
By Harry Bamforth
Oh, it really should be two!
Manchester United really are causing Arsenal all sorts of problems now; they are on top.
Alejandro Garnacho gets the beating of his man again, and this time drives the ball low across the six-yard box.
Joshua Zirkzee gets there and produces a fancy flick, but David Raya denies him.
He really should be scoring that.
By Harry Bamforth
Mikel Arteta is majking some changes.
Arsenal are desperate for something to change and Myles Lewis-Skelly and Gabriel Martinelli are now on for Riccardo Calafirori and Ethan Nwaneri.
Can they make an impact?
By Harry Bamforth
Ohhhh, now that’s a nasty one.
Alejandro Garnacho is down in pain and you can see why, Mikel Merino accidentally stomps on his ankle.
It’s all in a melee for the ball, and it was not intentional, but that’s got to hurt a fair but.
By Harry Bamforth
That chance has really livened up this crowd, and the game.
The tackles are flying in, and the fans are starting to roar again. That just wasn’t happening in the first half.
Most of Old Trafford is now belting out chants; they are really getting into the swing of things now.
Now, this is what this game should feel like, eh?
By Harry Bamforth
That’s a monster save from David Raya!
Manchester United turn defence into attack in a flash, and suddenly, Arsenal are wide open.
Diogo Dalot clips a cross to the back post and finds Noussair Mazraoui in acres of space.
The Moroccan meets it with a volley, but Raya somehow reacts quickly enough to divert his effort wide with his feet.
Incredible goalkeeping, but Mazraoui should score.
By Ian Ladyman At Old Trafford
By Harry Bamforth
Ohhhh, that’s nearly a stunner from Martin Odegaard.
Arsenal decided to go short from a corner, and the Norwegian receives the ball just outside the box.
He sends a dipping striker toward the top corner, but Andre Onana gets a feather on the ball to tip the ball over.
From the corner, Declan Rice then gives the home fans some joy by blasting miles over the bar.
They really did love that, the Stretford End.
By Harry Bamforth
My word, what is that?
Joshua Zirkzee gets in a right muddle just outside his own box and somehow nearly gives the ball away.
Victor Lindelof then decides to just hoof the ball away, rather than dilly-dally about.
Right call.
By Harry Bamforth
That goal before the break must have really given Manchester United confidence; they are looking lively now.
Of course, it’s Alejandro Garnacho pushing them forward as he does well down the right-hand side.
The Argentine then drives the ball into the area dangerously, but Jurrien Timber does well to clear.
Positive start to the second period from the hosts.
By Harry Bamforth
Well, this is a surprise.
18-year-old Aydan Heaven only left Arsenal for Manchester United back in February, and he hasn’t gotten many opportunities since arriving.
However, the youngster is coming on for his Premier League debut against his former side, replacing Leny Yoro.
What a moment for the young lad; he must be bricking it back there now – I would be.
Anyway, we are back underway now.
By Harry Bamforth
Gary Neville, former Man United captain, on Sky Sports:
By Harry Bamforth
If there are any children who want to learn how to take a free kick, just watch this.
For Bruno Fernandes to beat a wall of that size and score from that far out is just special.
With the way the game was going, you just had a feeling it would need a moment of magic for a goal to come.
And Fernandes was the one to produce it, as always.
By Oliver Holt At Old Trafford
By Harry Bamforth
Bruno Fernandes is just so special on his day.
I can’t lie, the Manchester United game was pretty anonymous for most of that game. Honestly, he did barely anything.
But as soon as Unioted won that free-kick, I just knew he was going to score. You could just feel it was going to happen.
He has now scored a direct free-kick in two of Manchester United’s last three Premier League games.
Fernandes had only done so in one of his first 183 appearances in the competition before this.
A dead-ball specialist these days.
By Chris Wheeler At Old Trafford
By Harry Bamforth
There goes the whistle.
I honestly can’t believe that I am writing this half-time post and Manchester United are in the lead.
It was a half of Arsenal dominance, but when Bruno Fernandes got his chance, he took it.
Football is just such an odd sport, isn’t it?
By Harry Bamforth
I’m honestly sitting here stunned beyond belief.
Manchester United have offered absolutely diddly but they are winning this football match.
If I were an Arsenal fan, I would feel sick.
By Harry Bamforth
Wow. Wow. Wow.
It’s a bolt from the blue from Bruno Fernandes; he is at it again for Manchester United.
The United captain bends the resulting free-kick over the wall and into the top corner in style. It’s a beauty.
It’s been all Arsenal, but somehow, they are behind.
By Harry Bamforth
SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED!
I can’t believe it, Manchester United have actually made some inroads up the pitch.
Riccardo Calafiopri gives the ball away, and Alejandro Garnacho breaks away with pace.
Leandro Trossard then brings him down just outside the area and gets a yellow card.
This is in Bruno Fernandes territory.
By Harry Bamforth
This really is a tough watch.
Before typing this post, I have my hand pressed my cheek, watching what is happening. This has stalemate written all over it.
Meanwhile, Joshua Zirkzee is now down receiving treatment,t and there is a pause in play.
To be honest, it makes no difference really, they can pause this game as long as they want and most people won’t be bothered.
By Harry Bamforth
Manchester United just can’t get a hold of the ball here.
They’ve had little over 30 per cent possession, but I can’t lie, I thought it was less.
Arsenal are running rings around them, they just can’t find the back of the net.
By Ian Ladyman At Old Trafford
By Chris Wheeler At Old Trafford
By Harry Bamforth
Oh, that’s a big, big chance for Leandro Trossard.
Arsenal have suddenly built up a head of steam, and the Belgian seems to be at the centre of it.
Martin Odegaard plays a cheeky little pass through to Trossard, who is six yards out, but the ball kind of bounces off him and into the gloves of Andre Onana.
He should do much better, in all honesty.
By Harry Bamforth
Oooft, that’s a bit better.
Leandro Trossard tries to make things happen, and my word it nearly works.
He takes a fabulous touch and then hammers one hell of an effort toward the top corner.
It looks like it’s heading in before veering wide at the very last second.
That would have been some finish.
By Harry Bamforth
Arsenal seem to have lost the little momentum they gathered early doors here.
Not that they were creating much before, but they are creating basically nothing now.
Riccardo Calafiori tries to find Mikel Merino at the back post with a low cross, but it runs past everybody.
It’s been that kind of game.
By Harry Bamforth
I’ve tried to go back to listen to what the Man United fans were singing, and I’m not so sure it was aimed at Jim Ratcliffe.
Maybe they were indeed singing ‘We want the Glazers out’, like normal, and I was just stirring the pot.
I have to talk about something, though, don’t I?
By Harry Bamforth
Does anyone have a bucket of paint available? I think I’d rather watch it dry than this game.
Honestly, there has barely been anything of note, I may actually nod off at this rate.
If the updates stop coming, you guys now know I am asleep in my seat.
I don’t think anyone could blame me if that happened, except my bosses…
By Harry Bamforth
Oh dear…
I believe I just heard a few Manchester United fans sing ‘we want Ratcliffe out’.
If that is the case then that must really suck for the Ineos man, he only joined 12 months ago.
A pretty damning endightment fo where United are, isn’t it?
By Harry Bamforth
This game is pretty rubbish guys, I have to be honest.
While Arsenal are much the better side, they aren’t really causing too many problems right now.
Martin Odegaard decides to have a pop from 25 yards out, but it’s so comfortable for Andre Onana.
United will be happy with Arsenal to keep shooting from distance…
By Ian Ladyman At Old Trafford
By Harry Bamforth
Alejandro Garnacho has woken up the Stretford End at last!
The winger is sent in down the right before pulling the trigger of either a low cross or a shot; I can’t really tell.
The attack comes to nothing, but it brings a faint ‘United, United, United’ from the home crowd.
It only lasts three seconds before the silence resumes.
By Harry Bamforth
I’m sorry to keep badgering on about the atmosphere, but I still can’t believe how quiet it is.
If you didn’t know the scoreline, you’d think Arsenal were battering United 4-0 with how loud the Gunners fans are.
All you can hear is the away section.
By Harry Bamforth
Alejandro Garnacho seems to be the only player who wants to make something happen for Manchester United.
Nothing new, eh?
The winger bursts into life down the right before pulling the ball back into the danger area.
But of course, it can’t be finished off and Arsenal clear.
By Chris Wheeler At Old Trafford
By Harry Bamforth
Ooooft, now that is very close from Mikel Merino.
Martin Odegaard looks like his old self today, and he plays a lovely give-and-go before flicking the ball to Merino.
The make-shift centre forward takes a touch and then arrows the ball toward the bottom corner.
It’s a great effort, but it flies just wide.
By Harry Bamforth
Arsenal fans have turned to the old classic ‘Is this a library?’ chant.
Normally, I would shoot down their creativity for using such a song, but I think they have a point.
I’m genuinely not sure if I have ever heard Old Trafford as quiet as it is right now.
I feel like I’m taking an exam.
By Harry Bamforth
I’m not sure about the look Ruben Amorim is going for, I can’t lie.
He is currently wearing a club jumper with a gilet over the top, and it’s just making me think of Tim Sherwood.
I bet he would kill to get some of the results Sherwood had while he was at Tottenham, and that’s saying something.
The gilet just has to go Ruben, it’s not working for me.
By Harry Bamforth
Oh my word, it’s chaos already.
Manchester United have not started well, and they are all over the place at the back.
There is a mix-up, and the ball looks to have broken for Mikel Merino to score, but Andre Onana comes out to swarm him.
Not the start Ruben Amorim would have wanted.
By Harry Bamforth
I thought this was meant to be built up as a huge rivalry…
Well, watching what is unfolding it feels like a training session, if anything.
Arsenal are knocking the ball about in a defaly silent Old Trafford, honestly, I can’t get over how quiet it is in here.
By Harry Bamforth
Actually, I take back what I just said. You can really tell that this Manchester United crowd are not happy.
They usually belt out ‘Take Me Home, United Road’, but they give rather a tame rendition just as we kick-off here.
The atmosphere is pretty darn pants.
By Harry Bamforth
Thanks, Kim!
What did I miss? Well, it turns out while I was covering the ongoing down in London, there was a lot going on up here.
Inside Old Trafford right now, it doesn’t exactly feel like there were such angry protests outside, but there were.
I guess, it is a little flat in here as the two teams emerge from the tunnel and onto the turf.
If United are going to get anything from today, they will really need their fans behind them.
The Arsenal fans are certainly in fine voice, mind. They are currently serenading their centre-back Gabriel.
Will they be singing come the end of the evening?
By Kim Morrissey
Anticipation is building and the protests have certainly amplified the stakes today at Old Trafford.
Both sides will be gunning for a win but I must admit I feel like this game might swing in United’s favour.
A controversial shout I know but how can the United player’s not have a fire in their bellies now after witnessing those protests and seeing just how much the fans care about the club.
I’m going to pass you onto Harry Bamforth now, who is going to be covering the game.
Enjoy!

Amorim on Sky Sports addressing the fan protests at Old Trafford:
By Kim Morrissey
It may be a lovely day in Manchester with the sun shining but that didn’t stop the United fans from giving Sir Jim Ratcliffe a frosty welcome.
Watch here.
By Ian Ladyman At Old Trafford
By Kim Morrissey
A thrilling game of football between Tottenham and Bournemouth finished level after 90 minutes.
Tottenham looked set to be staring down the barrel of yet another defeat after Evalinson put the Cherries 2-0 up with 25 minutes to go.
However a bizarre strike from Pape Sarr ignited a Spurs comeback which was finished off by a penalty from Son Heung-Min.
In the other game Marc Cucurella was Chelsea’s unlikely hero, scoring in the 60th minute to move the Blues into the top four.
By Oliver Holt At Old Trafford
By Kim Morrissey
Gary Neville speaking on Sky Sports:
By Kim Morrissey
Gary Neville issued a damning verdict on Manchester United’s current state of affairs, as he outlined how their substandard ownership have led to their demise on the pitch.
The former right back singled out United’s recruitment as an area of concern, admitting the Red Devils’ current group of players are not even close to those under Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho – managers which many believed failed United.
By Kim Morrissey
Anybody tuning in to watch Man United vs Arsenal may be surprised to not see the usual sea of Red in the stands today at Old Trafford.
As sections of the Red Devils support inside the stadium today will be dressed in black.
This is in protest against the Glazer family ownership, as well as part-owner Jim Ratcliffe.
By Kim Morrissey
Well United fans what do we think about Bruno Fernandes?
Following Roy Keane and Ian Wright’s passionate debate over Bruno Fernandes’ contribution to United and his merits.
Our friends at SQUAWKA have provided a damming stat which backs Fernandes as United’s unsung hero and raises concerns over where they could be if they were without the Portuguese international.
United’s captain has created 12 chances from set pieces in the Premier League in 2025, which is more than any other player.
By Kim Morrissey
Both sides have been riddled with injuries this season and today is no different.
Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Altay Bayindir, Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Tom Heaton, Jonny Evans and Kobbie Mainoo are all set to miss out this evening.
Whilst question marks remain above Harry Maguire and Manuel Ugarte who missed the Red Devils midweek game against Real Sociedad.
For the Gunners, it doesn’t look any better as they will also be without some of their star men including Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
By Kim Morrissey
Manchester United youth talent Chido Odi is in with a chance to play against his former club this afternoon.
The 17-year-old striker who left Arsenal for Old Trafford has been pushing to break into the squad following United’s recent injury woes.
Amorim on Odi:
By Kim Morrissey
Starting XI: Onana; Lindelof, De Light, Yoro; Mazraoui, Fernandes, Casemiro, Dalot; Eriksen, Garnacho, Zirkzee
Subs: Harrison, Mee, Amass, Heaven, Collyer, Fletcher, Moorhouse, Obi, Hojlund
By Kim Morrissey
Mikel Arteta only makes one change from the Gunners impressive 7-1 victory away at PSV.
Riccardo Calafiori comes in for Myles Lewis-Skelly.
Starting XI: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Partey, Rice, Odegaard, Nwaneri, Trossard, Merino.
Subs: Neto, White, Zinchenko, Tierney, Lewis-Skelly, Kiwior, Jorginho, Martinelli, Sterling.
By Kim Morrissey
Wow that has flown by, hasn’t it?
Mikel Arteta will take charge of his 200th game as Arsenal boss this evening.
The Spaniard holds an impressive record in charge, winning 118 of his first 199 games.
Only five managers have enjoyed a better run in the same amount of games.
Pep Guardiola, Sir Alex Ferguson, Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp.
By Kim Morrissey
Manchester United face a challenging task this even and their record so far this season does not favour them.
The Red Devils are still waiting to record consecutive league game wins this season.
The unwanted record is now the longest time they have gone without registering back-to-back wins in the League since the 1968-69 season.
During that season they finally ended their misfiring streak and finally recorded two wins in a row on matchday 32 and 33.
By Kim Morrissey
In a statement, spokesman for ‘The 1958’ supporters group, Steve Crompton, spoke about the planned protest:
By Kim Morrissey
Can I even call this a big six clash?
There is no denying Manchester United are still one of the most popular and well recognised teams in the world right now but they are currently enduring a historically miserable season, lying deep in 14th place.
They are walking a thin line which could see them record their worst points finish in the history of the competition.
Whilst Arsenal are soaring high in second place.
So just how many of Ruben Amorim’s ‘worst Manchester United team in history’ have made it into our combined XI.
Take a look…
By Kim Morrissey
If yesterday’s games are anything to go by, today’s game will be full of action.
Third and fourth in the league kicked us off this weekend as Nuno Espirito Santo’s high-flying Nottingham Forest spoiled Manchester City’s chances of leapfrogging them and moving to third.
Callum Hudson-Odoi’s late goal in the 83rd minute has now significanlty bolstered their chances of securing Champions League football next season as they now find themselves four points clear of City and five ahead of Chelsea with ten games remaining.
Next up were the 3pm games and wow was there drama early on as league leader’s Liverpool fell behind early in the game to bottom of the table Southampton.
However the Reds came out a completely different side in the second half, one can only assume thanks to a stern talking to by Arne Slot at the break.
Out of favour Darwin Nunez ignited the comeback before star man Mohamed Salah superbly finished two penalties to claim all three points at Anfield and take the Merseyside outfit 16 points clear of title rivals Arsenal.
Elsewhere in the 3pms, Brighton came from behind deep into stoppage to beat Fulham 2-1. Whilst Crustal Palace knicked a 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town thanks to a late strike from Ismaila Sarr.
Aston Villa claimed a 1-0 victory over Brentford thanks to previous Bees player Ollie Watkins later in the day.
Whilst Wolves and Everton shared points in the late 8pm game.
By Kim Morrissey
Welcome everbody!
Oh boy are we in for a treat this evening as Ruben Amorim’s Red Devils host title chasers Arsenal at Old Trafford.
Milestones will be made this evening no matter the finishing result.
A home win for the Manchester side would see them secure their 100th win over the Gunners in all competitions.
Whilst Mikel Artetas’s side are looking to complete a feat never recorded by the North London side in the Premier League era.
And that is register back-to-back wins at Old Trafford.
So seat tight and enjoy Mail Sport’s coverage of Manchester United vs Arsenal as speaking truthfully who knows how this game is going to go and more importantly how it is going to finish.
Got to love how thick rags are. Protesting whilst …

I’m getting sick of the media still talking about a title race! Who are Liverpool in a race with exactly. The closest club to us are 15 points behind. This is a precession.

The Gunners look to tighten their grip on second place as they travel to Old Trafford.
Two old rivals lock horns once more on Sunday as second-placed Arsenal take on Ruben Amorim’s inconsistent Man United at Old Trafford.
The Gunners come into this match after thrashing PSV Eindhoven 7-1 away in their midweek UEFA Champions League clash, despite having no recognized striker available.
Man United, meanwhile, put their domestic woes to one side to earn a creditable 1-1 away draw with Real Sociedad in the first-leg of their UEFA Europa League Round of 16 tie on Thursday.
Manchester United take on Arsenal on Sunday, March 9, at Old Trafford, with kickoff set for 4:30 p.m. GMT local time. That makes it a 12:30 p.m. ET or 9:30 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 3:30 p.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia on Monday morning.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the match as it happens, wherever you are in the world.
Myles Lewis-Skelly is available for Arsenal today after the 18-year-old full back completed his suspension.
Sunday’s Man United vs. Arsenal game will be broadcast on NBC and can also be streamed via Peacock. You’ll need a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus account to catch the game live.
Peacock offers two Premium plans, and after the recent price increases, the ad-supported Premium plan costs $8 a month and the ad-free Premium Plus plan is $14 a month.
If you find yourself unable to view EPL matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It’s normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you’ll get three months free and save 49%. That’s the equivalent of $6.67 a month.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Today’s match at Old Trafford is exclusive to Sky Sports, showing on its Sky Sports Main Event, Premier League and UHD channels. If you already have Sky Sports as part of your TV package, you can stream the game via its Sky Go app, but cord-cutters will want to get set up with a Now account and a Now Sports membership to stream the game.
Sky subsidiary Now offers streaming access to Sky Sports channels with a Now Sports membership. You can get a day of access for £15, or sign up to a monthly plan from £35 per month right now.
If you want to stream this EPL game live in Canada, you’ll need to subscribe to Fubo Canada. The service has exclusive rights to every Premier League fixture once again this season.
Fubo is the go-to destination for Canadians looking to watch the EPL this season, with exclusive streaming rights to every match. It costs CA$30 a month, though you can save some cash by paying quarterly or annually.
Football fans down under can watch EPL matches live on streaming service Optus Sport, which is showing every Premier League game of the 2024-25 season live in Australia.

If you’re already an Optus network customer, you can bag Optus Sport for a reduced price, with discounts bringing the price down to as low as AU$7 a month. If you’re not, a standalone monthly subscription to the service starts at AU$25.
