Arsenal vs. Manchester United Predictions

• Where: Emirates Stadium, London, England
• When: Thursday, December 5, 04:15 AM

Each time these two teams collide, we remember their fierce rivalry during the 1990s and 2000s. Back then, Arsenal and Manchester United ruled English football, unlike now, when they can’t challenge Man City and Liverpool. Currently, the Gunners are in the Champions League zone, while United sits in the middle of the standings.

Arsenal vs. Manchester United Preview

Arsenal

The Gunners need to snap out; otherwise, they might lose the pace with Liverpool and stay out of the title race early on. Their 1-5 win in Lisbon over Sporting is a big deal, and that could motivate the players to be even better in this big derby.

Mikel Arteta’s boys are very solid at home, having seven wins and two ties this season across all the competitions. Overall, we have to add that seeing them play in the Emirates is poetry compared to the matches on the road.

Arsenal is far more lethal at home than on the road. Arteta’s team scored two or more goals in seven matches at the Emirates, which is the best possible proof of this.

Manchester United

Ruben Amorim coached Sporting until a few weeks ago when he left for Manchester United. His Lions were trashed by the Gunners last week in the Champions League, and there’s no doubt that the Portuguese manager has an extra motive to beat the upcoming opponent.

We saw the Red Devils fight against Bodo in the UEFA Europa League, Amorim’s debut in front of home fans. Some questions linger, but the win over Arsenal will erase them all.

A very important thing for United is that the game against the Norwegian unit was the sixth in a row in which they haven’t lost, meaning there is some consistency in their performances.

Arsenal vs Manchester United Head to Head

Arsenal versus Manchester United Prediction

The Gunners have been very cautious in big games this year, and in most cases, we saw Arteta set up defensive-minded and conservative tactics. Even though they play at home, we don’t expect to see Arsenal pressuring the rivals right from the start. As for Amorim, he won’t chase to score right away, yet make his team lay back and wait for rival’s mistakes. Also, we believe that United needs time to adapt to its system. Due to all this, our pick here would be a moderate efficiency, 2 or 3 goals.

Our verdict: 2 or 3 goals
