It's been nearly a year since these old rivals last faced off, and what a difference that time has made. The Red Devils were 2nd and the Gunners 9th last January, but now it's United who are in dire straits. Keep reading for your full guide to getting a Manchester United vs Arsenal live stream and watching the Premier League game online from anywhere.
Michael Carrick will extend his interim interim spell to three games, with new interim manager Ralf Ragnick still waiting on a work permit. The Geordie's previous two went pretty well, a Group F-sealing win over Villarreal in the Champions League and a draw against Premier League leaders Chelsea, and he'll have captain Harry Maguire to call upon tonight.
Arsenal broke a 14-year Old Trafford duck with a 2-0 win at the Theatre of Dreams last season, and the current state of Man United's defence means that chances will not be at a premium. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goals may have dried up of late, but he'll get plenty of target practice tonight.

How to live stream Man United vs Arsenal if you're abroad
If you're out of the country for the big game, you can still get access to a live stream - simply drop a shoulder and a shimmy, and use the best VPN around to get past those geo-restrictions.

How to use a VPN to unblock any restrictions
If you're outside of your preferred broadcaster's boundaries, you can use a VPN to unblock any geo-restrictions and watch a Man United vs Arsenal live stream as if you were right at home. Here's our step-by-step guide on how to do just that.
- VPN - standing for virtual private network - offers security and anonymity as you browse online, using set protocols to encrypt your data and make it unreadable to outsiders.
- As a part of that, you can also switch your IP address, which identifies your location.
- Most VPNs offer a list of locations where its servers are based to join. Connecting to them switches your IP to appear as if you're browsing from that country/city. In turn, you can then access content locked to that country.
- When it comes to finding a VPN, you should make sure you find the best one that's suitable for your chosen device, with VPN providers offering compatibility for a ton of devices, including VPN for Mac, VPN for Android smartphones, an iPad VPN, and even a range of fairly nifty free VPNs.
- Once you've made the decision for the most suitable VPN for your device and your means for using a VPN, sign-up and install it.
- To live stream Man United vs Arsenal, all you need to do is select a UK server from its list of available servers and connect. You'll then be able to hop over those geo-restrictions, with the likes of Amazon Prime Video opening its online gates to you.
- We also want to ensure your money is well spent, so we would recommend going for a VPN that offers a risk free trial. ExpressVPN is one of many providers that has a 30-day money back guarantee.
