Arsenal vs Manchester United Prediction & Match Preview

Arsenal vs Manchester United
English Premier League
Date: 3 September 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 16:30 UK / 17:30 CET
Venue: Emirates Stadium (London).

Arsenal and Manchester United are set to kick off Matchday No 4 with an exhilarating showdown this Sunday afternoon at Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners encountered their first setback of the season just eight days ago, as they shockingly surrendered a 2-1 lead and their one-man advantage against Fulham, resulting in a 2-2 draw in North London.

Mikel Arteta has every reason to be dissatisfied with his team’s start to the season. While Arsenal managed to secure seven points from their first three games, they haven’t truly excelled in any of their campaign fixtures thus far.

In contrast, Manchester United staged an impressive comeback from a two-goal deficit in their recent home match against Nottingham Forest, with Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, and Bruno Fernandes sealing the comeback. The Red Devils have triumphed in two out of three matches this season.

Although Manchester United had a lackluster opening day performance against Wolves, they have shown signs of improvement in their subsequent two matches against Tottenham (despite the loss in London) and Nottingham Forest.

In their most recent encounter during the previous Premier League season, both teams managed to secure a victory on their respective home turfs. Examining the historical record, Arsenal has won 52 times, drawn 20 matches, and suffered 27 defeats in their last 99 home games against the Red Devils. Home advantage has consistently played a significant role in the recent history of this rivalry, with each of the last four competitive head-to-head matchups ending in home victories.

Earlier this year, in July, these two teams faced off in a preseason friendly, with Manchester United emerging victorious with a 2-0 scoreline.

Match Prediction: Arsenal vs. Manchester United

Neither team enters this matchup with the highest level of confidence, as both have displayed defensive vulnerabilities in the early stages of the season. Given that the “Over 2.5 goals Full Time” and “Both Teams To Score” bets have proven successful in each of the last four Premier League clashes between these rivals, there is a strong likelihood of goals on Sunday.

Our primary betting recommendation is to place a bet on “Over 2.5 goals Full Time” and “Both Teams To Score,” which is available at odds of 1.80. Additionally, considering the recent head-to-head trend, we also favor Arsenal to win, also at odds of 1.80.
