Manchester United vs Arsenal Predictions

• Arsenal are the Premier League’s top scorers this season.
• Manchester United have conceded 28 goals in their last nine matches.
• Leandro Trossard has scored in three of his last four appearances.

Title hopefuls to test injury-hit defence

Manchester United sank to new depths on Monday as they were deservedly thrashed 4-0 at Selhurst Park, and it could be another rough afternoon for Erik ten Hag’s men when Arsenal visit Old Trafford.

The Gunners are still in the hunt for the Premier League title and made it four wins in a row with a 3-0 victory over Bournemouth last weekend. They are the Premier League’s top scorers with 88 goals and are coming up against a home side with a raft of injury concerns at the back.

Defensive woes continue for hosts

In the absence of as many as seven first-team defenders, Jonny Evans and Casemiro are set to partner up at the back again on Sunday, reuniting the pairing that were mauled at Crystal Palace last time out.

Casemiro in particular looked out of his depth against the likes of Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze, and he is unlikely to fare any better against a Gunners outfit that have scored 13 goals in their last four matches.

Judging by recent performances, the Red Devils look to have downed tools now their Champions League aspirations are over and their opponents are very motivated as they take the title battle down to the wire.

Trossard can contribute in dominant Gunners win

Mikel Arteta’s side have scored at least three goals in ten of their 16 Premier League games since the turn of the year and in each of their last five, including a 3-2 win at Spurs. Manchester United have shipped 28 goals in their last nine matches, letting in at least three in five of those. Backing Arsenal to bag a hat-full looks good value.

The visitors have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four, too, while Manchester United have only scored once in their last two games, making a repeat of Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Bournemouth last weekend an appealing correct score option.

Leandro Trossard, who has forced his way into the starting lineup in recent weeks, stands out in the anytime goalscorer market. The Belgian has the best goals-per-minute ratio of any other Arsenal player and has found the net in three of his last four starts.
