52 league meetings, 2000 to 2026
10 goals is the high-water mark, set on 28 August 2011 when Manchester United and Arsenal finished 8–2.
Read it in two halves and it is two different fixtures: Manchester United ahead before 2013, Arsenal ahead after.
The balance
| Club | Wins | Draws | Losses | Goals for | Goals against |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arsenal | 18 | 14 | 20 | 66 | 75 |
| Manchester United | 20 | 14 | 18 | 75 | 66 |
The record covers Premier League (52) and is recalculated from the individual results rather than copied from a table, which is why it can be read against any other pairing on this site on the same terms.

How this record is put together
Every row above is a league match played between the two clubs and held in this archive, which begins with the 2000/01 season. A meeting is counted once, on the date it was played, and the score is the full-time result. Where the two clubs have spent seasons in different divisions there is simply a gap in the sequence — the fixture did not exist that year, rather than being left out.
Compare any other two clubs with the head-to-head tool, which opens on this pairing, or read the records these matches feed into.
