United Start Favourites
Manchester United will go into this huge fixture as the heavy favourites, as they will come up against Arsenal hot off the heels of one of the best performances of the Ole Gunnar Solskjaer era. United were in pulsating form in mid-week in their Champions League fixture against RB Leipzig, as they ran out 5-0 winners. The result now means that United have beaten the finalists and semi-finalists from last season’s competition. The Red Devils are just two wins from qualification from the next round of the competition.
United’s star against Leipzig was Marcus Rashford, who has been hitting all the headlines for his free school meals for children campaign recently. The English striker scored a 20-minute hat-trick against Leipzig, which was also his first in professional football. Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial also found the net on a terrific night for the Red Devils.
Arsenal Hoping To Bounce Back
The Gunners will still be aiming for a top-four finish this season, but they will need to find some consistency to their results. After a bright start to the season, Arsenal have now lost their last two Premier League games, with these defeats coming against Manchester City and Leicester City.
The Gunners didn’t create nearly enough chances in their last game against the Foxes, and they were succumbed to defeat late in the second half after Jamie Vardy headed home from close range. The Gunners will be aware that this will be a big fixture for them, as a third defeat in a row would signal their worse run of form this calendar year.
United vs Arsenal History
These two sides have so often been the two that have been fighting for the Premier League title, but that hasn’t been the case for the past couple of years. Regardless, there is still an intensity with this fixture that you don’t normally get with many other games.
United will be looking for their 100th ever win against the Gunners this weekend, but they haven’t beaten Arsenal since an FA Cup tie in January 2019. The Gunners have won two of the last three in the league, but United haven’t lost to Arsenal at Old Trafford since September 2006. The last two games at the Theatre of Dreams have ended in score draws.
Manchester United vs Arsenal Picks
This is the biggest game taking place in the Premier League this weekend, and there will be an expectancy among United fans that they will be able to continue their momentum after the huge win against Leipzig in midweek. We expect United to get the three points from this game, and there could be another couple of goals in the fixture for Marcus Rashford.
