Arsenal vs Manchester Utd Prediction & Tips
Arsenal once again demonstrated their power in midweek with a 3-1 victory in the UEFA Champions League against Inter Milan, a result that allowed them to lead both in Europe and in England. The Gunners start this Premier League matchday with a seven-point lead and have gone 12 official matches without defeat (10 wins and two draws). However, two consecutive goalless draws in the competition have prevented them from extending their lead at the top. Mikel Arteta’s side did not concede a single shot on target in those draws and will be hoping to avoid a third consecutive goalless draw in the league, something that has not happened since 2009. In addition, the London club has been almost unbeatable at home since May (15 wins and two draws in all competitions).
Manchester United’s emphatic 2-0 win last week over Arsenal’s main pursuers, Manchester City, has been the perfect start for Carrick as manager. The Red Devils go into the weekend just one point off the top four and are unbeaten in five league games (two wins and three draws). At the end of the last matchday, they had recorded more shots (41) and shots on target (17) than any other team in the division since Ruben Amorim’s dismissal. Carrick already managed to beat Arsenal as interim manager in 2021 and will be looking to repeat that feat, as United have failed to win in their last three away games (two draws and one defeat).
