Man United v Arsenal

This weekend’s Premier League fixtures end with Man United against Arsenal at Old Trafford as Erik ten Hag’s men look to save face after an embarrassing display against Crystal Palace.

With time ticking on their latest title tilt, Arsenal head to Old Trafford on Sunday in search of three points that will keep Manchester City honest in the race for this season’s Premier League crown.

Despite losing only once in the league since the turn of the year, Mikel Arteta’s side must win their remaining matches and cross their fingers that an unlikely City slip-up occurs, and form suggests their tussle with Man United could be the easier of their final two fixtures.

Humbled by Crystal Palace on Monday evening (4-0), United’s creaking vessel has been taking on water for weeks and with their injury-rocked defence proving impossible to patch, Erik ten Hag’s strugglers could be blown to bits by the Gunners.

⚔️ Man United v Arsenal Head-to-Head

Manchester United’s early-season meeting with Arsenal in September was a game of fine margins and sliding doors, and though the Gunners eventually won 3-1, the result might have fallen in a different direction on another day.

With the scores locked at 1-1 deep into the second half, Alejandro Garnacho was denied what might have been a late winner by a tight VAR offside call before Declan Rice swung the game the opposite way with a deflected strike in the 95^th minute.

Brazilian Gabriel Jesus added gloss to the scoreline for Arsenal with a breakaway goal on 100 minutes, though the final 3-1 result belied an even contest for the most part.

Six cards were brandished that afternoon and the last five league meetings have featured an average of 4.60 cards and 4.40 goals. Indeed, drama is usually guaranteed when United and Arsenal collide.

Marcus Rashford gave United the lead at the Emirates in September with a sumptuous early strike, just as he did in the same fixture the year before, and the 26-year-old could be in line to return from injury to face the Gunners on Sunday.

Rashford notched twice when Arsenal last visited Old Trafford in September 2022 in a 3-1 United triumph and while the Manchester-born attacker has been horribly out of form this season, he has scored six goals and lodged four assists in 16 previous league appearances against the Gunners.

Arsenal have won on just one of their last 16 trips to face United at Old Trafford in the Premier League, though they have a massive opportunity to improve that record on Sunday.

📊 Man United Form and Stats

Manchester United are currently on course to deliver their worst-ever Premier League season and if Erik ten Hag really is re-auditioning for his job at Man Utd in front of the club’s new owners, he’s been hitting all the wrong notes.

A dismal haul of 13 defeats in 35 matches has left United in eighth position and on the cusp of missing out on European football completely for next season, though their limp Champions League group stage exit before Christmas suggested a year without competing in Europe might be a good thing.

Lumbered with a goal difference of -3 as we approach the campaign’s climax, United rank 16^th in the division for xGA (63.6) and the Red Devils have conceded more shots than any other team in the league since January 1^st.

While a packed treatment room has been a major contributing factor, Erik ten Hag’s commitment to a tactical blueprint that leaves his defence horribly exposed during transitions has been just as much to blame for his team’s abject form.

United’s two wins from their last ten league assignments came in clunky triumphs over Everton and Sheffield United, while seven of their last ten opponents managed to score at least twice past Andre Onana.

Youngsters Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo have been the bright sparks in an otherwise bleak campaign, though all three have looked jaded and low on confidence in recent weeks.

Skipper Bruno Fernandes has been United’s star performer in terms of Premier League goal contributions (10G, 7A), and ten Hag will be desperate to have the 29-year-old back in the fold on Sunday after the midfielder missed the 4-0 loss at Crystal Palace.

📊 Arsenal Form and Stats

Several key decisions went Arsenal’s way in their 3-0 win over Bournemouth last weekend and their triumph over the Cherries was their fourth victory on the spin in the Premier League.

Mikel Arteta’s title contenders have collected a hugely impressive 43 points from the 48 available since January 1^st, however, a 2.68 points-per-game average across the season’s second half still might not be enough to claim top spot ahead of Manchester City.

Alongside being the Premier League’s current top scorers (88), Arsenal have also been setting the standard on the road, where they have picked up more points than anyone else (29).

Arteta’s side have also posted the best xGA (26.80) figures in the league by quite a distance and Arsenal have also conceded fewer shots on target (76) than anyone else this season. Incredibly, Man Utd have conceded 76 shots on target in their last 12 league fixtures alone.

Arsenal (58) have also gone about their business in a disciplined way for the most part and only Man City (51) have amassed fewer cards so far, while the Gunners’ 6.94 corners won per fixture figure is also among the league’s healthiest.

Martin Odegaard (8G, 8A) and Bukayo Saka (16G, 9A) have been their usual productive selves this term, though summer signing Kai Havertz (12G, 6A) has also blossomed into a key performer for the Gunners, as has Leandro Trossard (11G, 1A).

The defensive axis provided by centre-halves, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes with anchorman Declan Rice sitting just ahead has been the platform on which Arsenal have built much of their success, and that trio have missed just two Premier League fixtures between them this season.

💰 Man United v Arsenal Best Bets 

Crystal Palace again showed just how easy it is to slice through Man Utd’s porous defensive setup on Monday evening and a higher-class Arsenal outfit could punish the ramshackle Red Devils just as harshly on Sunday.

United conceded three goals in each of their last two meetings with the Gunners and at least twice in seven of their last ten league fixtures, there is still some value in backing over 1.5 Arsenal goals at 1.29 on Betfair at Old Trafford this weekend.

Arsenal – who’ve won seven and drawn one of their last eight away games in the league – also appeal in the match result markets despite being as short as priced as 1.30 to win on Betfair, while backing a late goal to be scored (after 81:59) at 1.83 could be a niche option to pursue. Check out our Betfair review ahead of placing your bets this Sunday.

United have developed a habit of wilting in the dying embers of their matches and they conceded goals in the 80^th minute or later six times in their last eight games in league and cup alone.
