Arsenal vs Manchester United Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals has landed in the last five meetings between these sides.
• Manchester United have drawn three of their last four Premier League games.

Red Devils set for tough test

Manchester United began the Michael Carrick era in style last weekend with a deserved win over Premier League title challengers Manchester City, and now they face another tough test when they visit league leaders Arsenal.

The Gunners bounced back from a draw with Nottingham Forest last weekend to beat Inter Milan in the Champions League, and they host old rivals United holding a seven-point lead in the top flight.

However, they have dropped points in their last two Premier League fixtures, and that could spell trouble against a rejuvenated Red Devils side.

Tight affair expected at the Emirates

Despite their troubles this season, the Mancunians have only lost one of their last ten league matches. They were narrowly beaten in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford in August, and before that they had avoided defeat in two meetings with Arsenal.

What we can expect at the Emirates is a tight affair. Under 2.5 goals has landed in each of the last five meetings between these sides and in four of Manchester United’s last six games, so backing fewer than three goals appeals.

The Red Devils have drawn three of their last four league games, two of them with a 1-1 scoreline, and Arsenal have drawn their last two in the league. Two of the last three meetings have been 1-1 stalemates, singling that out as a solid correct score prediction.
