Arsenal vs Man United Football Preview
The league’s two form teams go head-to-head on Sunday afternoon. It’s been a while since we were discussing Arsenal, United and the Premier League title in the same sentence, but here we are! Both are enjoying resurgent campaigns under forward-thinking coaches, with this weekend’s clash potentially crucial in defining the outcome of the season.
The Gunners come into this game off the back of an impressive North London derby win. This extended their unbeaten league run to 12 games since defeat against United at Old Trafford. However, Arsenal were on top for large periods in that loss, with ineffective defensive transitions ultimately costing them the game – Mikel Arteta won’t make that mistake again.
Erik ten Hag’s side have also gone from strength to strength as the season has developed, with the Manchester derby a highlight of the campaign. The victory over City was a perfect demonstration of how United will likely set up at the Emirates – defend in numbers and counter at pace. It worked wonders in the win over Arsenal in September, but there is a key difference this time around, the Gunners will have Thomas Partey at the base of their midfield.
Partey’s importance to Arteta’s system cannot be overlooked and he will plug the holes that United managed to exploit last time out. These are two teams brimming with confidence, but for all of the Red Devils’ recent improvements, they have not won a league game at the Emirates since 2017.
Arsenal vs Man United Football Odds
Despite being strong favourites, there is still some value in the hosts at 1.92. United are 3.69 underdogs, with a draw priced at 3.60. Both teams to score is highly backed at 1.65, with either team to keep a clean sheet at 2.15.
Eddie Nketiah has performed well in Gabriel Jesus’ absence, with the 23-year-old striker favourite to break the deadlock at 6.80. He is closely tailed by Gabriel Martinelli (7.30) and Bukayo Saka (7.50), with in-form Marcus Rashford (8.00) leading the odds to open the scoring for the visitors.
Arsenal vs Man United Betting Tips
Arsenal win and both teams to score – 3.59
Both sides are firing on all cylinders, and it would take a brave soul to bet against either team finding the net. Arsenal’s free flowing, attacking style boasts a number of goalscoring outlets, whilst Rashford is in the form of his life.
It’s tough to bet against Arsenal given their performances against the traditional big six this season – they have beaten Spurs twice, Liverpool and Chelsea. United could be their next scalp.
Over 1 first half goal – 1.72
This game typically promises first half action – 10 of the last 12 meetings between these two have seen at least one goal in the first 45 minutes. Six of the last 10 have seen two goals or more.
Rashford to score at any time – 3.60
Rashford is on fire and an away day at Arsenal suits him perfectly. United will be happy to let the hosts dominate possession, with Rashford lurking towards the halfway line ready to break. They might not have enough to win at the Emirates, but Rashford will be United’s most threatening forward regardless.
