This weekend’s Premier League action is wrapped up on Monday night when Manchester United take on Arsenal as the betting tips continue at Old Trafford, in a game that has more than a little hingeing on it.
Manchester United Prediction – Can Manchester United get going?
It’s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first full season in charge of Manchester United in the Premier League and so far, the early signs aren’t good as United occupy a lowly mid-table position of 11th place ahead of this crucial Monday night clash with Arsenal at Old Trafford.
With 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats, Manchester United have failed to assert their authority in these early weeks of the new top flight season, and they come into this clash having recorded just 1 win out of their last 5 matches overall in the Premier League.
That win came in the shape of a 1-0 home win against Leicester City but recent defeats at home to Crystal Palace and away at West Ham were both shocks and big wake-up calls to United’s expensive but under-performing squad.
United now face the prospect of a ‘must-win’ game against Arsenal tonight, but having won just 2 of their last 6 at home, the straight win market should be avoided. However, the Red Devils hold a fairly solid record at home against Arsenal as they’re unbeaten in their last 5 meetings at home against The Gunners and should avoid defeat here this evening.
Arsenal Prediction – Can Arsenal climb into top four?
The visitors appear to be in better shape than their hosts leading up to this clash as they’ve lost just 1 of their first 6 matches of this new Premier League season which was a heavy 3-1 defeat away at Liverpool, but Arsenal have since picked up useful points thereafter.
2-2 draws with Tottenham and Watford weren’t the end of the world for Unai Emery’s side, especially against their North London rivals, Tottenham, who led 2-0 in the recent local derby but Arsenal came roaring back to earn a valuable point.
Arsenal still remain unbeaten at their Emirates Stadium fortress this season and have certainly been extremely hard to beat on home turf, but on the road, The Gunners have shown a soft underbelly as the visitors have managed to register just 4 wins out of their last 16 matches on their travels.
Wins at Huddersfield Town, Watford and Burnley last season were against teams sitting in the bottom half of the division, while their one success on the road this term was an unconvincing 1-0 victory at Newcastle United.
Key-Facts – Manchester United v Arsenal
- Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 5 meetings against Arsenal
- Arsenal have won just 4 out of their last 16 matches on their travels
- Arsenal have kept just 2 clean sheets out of their last 22 away matches
Betting Tips Verdict
Both of these teams have fallen from their respective former heights in recent times, but Manchester United look the better equipped to get the points here.
