Published on September 29, 2019, the Manchester United vs Arsenal match has been touted as a 'Sack-Classico' with both teams desperate to avoid a loss.

Manchester United, under the leadership of Ole Gunnar Solskjær, has been struggling to find consistency, and a loss to Arsenal could spell the end of his tenure.

Arsenal, on the other hand, has been plagued by inconsistency, with four draws and eight defeats this season, including a humiliating 8-2 loss to Manchester United in 2011.

The match is expected to be a closely contested affair, with both teams eager to claim victory and avoid the sack.

Interestingly, Arsenal has never won a match against Manchester United on a Monday, with their last meeting at Old Trafford resulting in a 1-0 win in 2006.

With both teams struggling to find their footing, the match is expected to be a thrilling encounter, with the loser likely to face the axe.

As the two teams clash, fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome, with many expecting a penalty to be awarded in the match, given the number of penalties awarded to Manchester United and conceded by Arsenal this season.
