Arsenal vs Manchester United Preview
Arsenal
Mikel Arteta’s hopes of a second Arsenal trophy hinge on success in the FA Cup this term. They gave themselves a mountain to climb after suffering their 2-0 home loss against Newcastle.
The team will need to pick themselves back up again quickly for this weekend’s visit from Manchester United. Arsenal have failed to win in their last two games, and a lack of a creative edge in the final third has been telling.

The Gunners have scored just 27 goals from an xG of 18.12 in open play this term. However, they mustered a low xG of 1.81 in a must-win game against Brighton last Saturday. Selection headaches will keep Arteta awake this week, as his club is without Bukayo Saka, Ben White, and Ethan Nwaneri.
Manchester United
A lot can change in a week, which has been the case at Manchester United. Hopes have been reborn at Old Trafford following an excellent showing at Anfield last Sunday. Ruben Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 formation is finally beginning to show signs of encouragement.
The Red Devils arguably should have won the match against Liverpool last Sunday, and they recorded an xG of 1.67. This was their highest since an away win at Manchester City. United are still massively underperforming in the final third based on their xG metric of 26.69, netting just 17 times.

Defensively, they’ve looked more robust from open play since Amorim’s arrival, limiting sides to 22.56 and conceding just 15 goals. United are unlikely to make many changes this weekend, with Luke Shaw and Mason Mount being the only players out due to injuries.
Arsenal vs Man United Prediction
- Pick: Manchester United
- Odds: +440 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Arsenal 1-2 Manchester United
Both of Arsenal’s goals were scored from corners in the clash between these sides last month, and their struggles from open play were evident.
We could see this match following a very similar pattern. Manchester have looked more robust from set pieces in recent weeks and defended excellently against Liverpool last weekend.
United have recorded wins in two of their last three FA Cup ties against Arsenal, which includes a win at the Emirates a couple of seasons ago. A high-quality counter-attack is anticipated from Manchester this weekend. We believe they are too big of a price in the betting.
Arsenal vs Manchester United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: -141 (20Bet)
An entertaining match at the Emirates between United and Arsenal is set, and over 2.5 goals appears to be a reliable prediction. Despite their issues in the final third, set pieces have been an excellent avenue for Arsenal this term.
Manchester have scored in all but two of their games under Amorim till now. The trends also support this angle, with six of the last eight meetings between the rivals seeing over 2.5 goals being scored.
