Arsenal v Man United Betting Preview
Will the newly crowned champions be taking their foot of the gas as they head to the Emirates? Sir Alex Ferguson’s men have achieved their goal of ruling the Premier League so don’t have anything to play for. Arsenal on the other hand have a massive amount at stake heading into this one with their old rivals. The Gunners are still toughing it out in a race for a UEFA Champions League spot with London rivals Chelsea and Spurs. The Gunners have been producing some great form, will it be enough to get valuable points against the Champions? There is the small matter of the return of Robin van Persie too.

Arsenal v Man United Recommended Bet:
On the top fixtures for the season is this one and there is usually drama somewhere. Arsene Wenger will want to get one over on Sir Alex Ferguson in this one, because their Champions League status for next season is on the line. They go into the weekend one point clear of fourth placed Chelsea, and two clear of Spurs, but have played a game more than those two. So the pressure is on to keep delivering. Arsenal have hit some strong form, losing just one of their last dozen games in the Premier League. More impressive is that they have rattled off nine wins in that run of games. Granted, their form came about four months too late into the season to challenge for the title, but at least they look to be on the right track again.

Arsenal lost 2-1 at Old Trafford earlier in the season, so there is some added revenge on their minds. The Gunners also lost this fixture last season against United as well. Arsenal have lost two of the last three Premier League matches at home against the Red Devils. They have also shipped 21 goals at home this season, not particularly great, keeping just four clean sheets in their last 16 home matches in the top flight. They have only taken four points from seven games against the other sides in the top five this season. So it could be all about current form for them and with five wins in their last six, the only dropped points in a scrappy home draw against Everton, they should be able to push United hard in this one.

The Red Devils have the title in the bag and can relax. But that’s not something they do, and being relaxed may just make them play even better. The return of Robin van Persie is on the cards, and he netted after three minutes at Old Trafford against Arsenal in United’s 2-1 win earlier in the season. Interestingly, in that encounter, Arsenal had far more possession in the game, but had fewer shots. The Red Devils have been immense on the road this season, running up a W12 D3 L2 record for the season. They have netted at a rate of over two goals per game and have won four of their last five on the road. The Red Devils have won six of the last seven EPL meetings against Arsenal but this is a non-competitive match for them, and it will all depend on which Manchester United shows up really.

There could be something to say for swinging with Arsenal on this one, simply because of the fact  that they have home advantage and they have something to play for. They are favourites and just rolling with a bit of positive value in backing them at 5/4 with online bookmaker Bet Victor looks a good option.
