Patrice Evra has acknowledged that he is anxious for Manchester United as they host the league-leading Arsenal in a crucial matchup on Sunday at Old Trafford.

Mikel Arteta leads his team to Old Trafford in what appears to be a crucial test of their chances of winning the Premier League.

The only team to have won each of its first five games is Arsenal.

Although United enters the match with three victories under their belt, it remains to be seen how they will fare against a top-tier Premier League team in top form.

However, if Arsenal can extend their winning streak to the first six games of the season, any victory at Old Trafford would likely be a huge statement of intent for the winner.

Evra played for United during a time when they outperformed the Gunners, despite the fact that Arsenal has at least won three of their last six encounters with their rival.

Arsenal is in excellent form, they are winning ugly games, and that’s what scares me, Evra said in a Betfair interview. Even though they played poorly against Fulham, they prevailed. Let’s be clear: Arsenal fears Man United because of their long-standing rivalry.

“I used to call them ‘our babies’, now it’s the other way round and we’re looking more like the babies. This is going to be a tough one and talking with my heart I’ll say United, but anything can happen.”

In last season’s meetings United secured a 3-2 win at Old Trafford while Arsenal sealed a 3-1 at the Emirates in the reverse fixture.
