Arsenal vs Man United Prediction

  • Arsenal made it three wins in a row following the international break when they put five past West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday evening.
  • The Gunners remain nine points behind league leaders Liverpool, and will hope to keep their good run going here.
  • In the last week, Manchester United have picked up back-to-back home victories under new boss Ruben Amorim, against Bodo/Glimt and Everton.
  • United have moved up to ninth place following Sunday's result, and could climb as high as sixth with a victory here, if results go their way.
  • A reinvigorated United should give this a good go at the Emirates, but expect the hosts to claim the points.

Score Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Man United

Arsenal vs Man United Bet Builder Tips

Our Bet Builder for Arsenal vs Man United is Ugarte to be carded, Arsenal to win and both teams to score. At the time of publishing it is a best price of 10/1 with bet365.

Ugarte averages the most fouls per game in the United squad at 3.04 in all competitions and 3.42 in the Premier League. He has three cards in 9.2 90 minutes and is in for a very tough midfield battle in this game up gainst Rice, Odegaard and Jorginho.

Since Odegaard returned to the side, Arsenal have come back stronger than ever, winning their last three games by three goals or more and scoring 13 in total. 

They look like a team with the bit between the teeth as Arteta knows he cannot afford to suffer another loss if they want to catch Liverpool at the top of the table.

Amorim will need more time to get this United side playing how he wants and facing this Arsenal side away from home in just his third league game is less than ideal for the Portuguese manager.

Arsenal rarely lose at home and we expect them to come out on top against a transitioning United side.

Man United have scored 13 goals in their last seven games and have been playing some effective attacking football recently as was on display in their 4-0 win over Everton. Arsenal's defence hasn't been the force it was last season and they have conceded in five of their last six games.
