Arsenal vs Manchester United Preview
Arsenal
Arsenal take on their age-old foes Manchester United in a midweek game of the Premier League on Wednesday. These two teams have been rivals of each other for a very long time, and it will be exciting to see how they play against each other.
Arsenal are ranked in the second position of the EPL table at the moment with 25 points to their name as they come into this game on the back of a whopping 5-2 win against their London rivals West Ham United.

Mikel Arteta has shaped this team into one that can challenge the biggest of clubs across Europe, and the way they pass the ball around can be a delight to watch.
Arsenal like to play through their wings and also wait to mount a counter-offensive whenever they get the chance to do so.
Once this becomes possible, their 4-3-3 formation usually becomes fluid and shifts shape in order to accommodate more passing and creation of opportunities.
Manchester United
Manchester United seem to have stepped into a new era of soccer with the appointment of head coach Ruben Amorim from Sporting CP, as was visible in their 4-0 win over Everton last Sunday.
Amorim is yet to lose as United manager, and this game against Arsenal will be a crucial test of his expertise. At the moment, United are 9th in the EPL table with 19 points.

He made the wise decision of substituting Bruno Fernandes off early on against Everton, and this was done ostensibly to keep his compatriot fresh for the Arsenal clash. United are playing in short passes and a new back-three formation under Amorim, and one can expect this to catch Arsenal unawares.
The use of their wings has also significantly increased, with Amad Diallo and Diogo Dalot playing as the wingbacks and adding fuel to the likes of Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford to convert into goals.
Amorim also played Joshua Zirkzee in an attacking midfielder’s position on Sunday, and the latter made use of this opportunity to score two goals.
Arsenal vs Manchester United Prediction
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -128 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Manchester United
We expect both teams to score in this game as it will be quite a tough one to call. Arsenal have an advantage given that they are playing at home, but Manchester United appear resurgent under their new head coach and seem to have covered a lot of gaps in their defence.

While the home team will have an edge, we expect United to get on the scoresheet as well. Predicting a direct winner is a big challenge in this game, and hence, we expect both teams to score.
Both Arsenal and United have got on the scoresheet at least once in their last four and five matches respectively, and they will be expected to carry it forward in this one as well.
Arsenal vs Manchester United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2 goals
- Odds: -357 (20Bet)
We expect a total of over 2 goals in this game given the quality of players on offer. While Arsenal have the likes of Leandro Trossard, Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz to provide them with goals up front, United can rely upon their captain Bruno Fernandes, Rashford, Zirkzee as well as Garnacho and Diallo to create chances.

Fernandes will perhaps be the most creative player on display in this game, and his ability to unlock opposition defences with utmost precision will come in handy.
Arsenal need to be aware of the challenges that United will pose to them, and if they manage to keep their shape and not lose their markers while defending, they will not have too difficult a time to get by.
All in all, we expect a few goals to be scored in this game, which means that the spectators will be kept interested at all times.
