Arsenal v Manchester United Preview
Overall if you look at Arsenal’s form lately it has been pretty patchy, but if you narrow down just to look at their home form, then things are very rosy for them at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal have won six of their last seven home games across all competitions and three of those six wins were with a clean sheet as well. The only defeat in that run of games was in a North London Derby against Spurs in the EFL cup.
Arsenal have scored nine goals in their last three home games, which includes their big effort in a 2-0 victory over Chelsea in the Premier League last weekend. In the last round of the FA Cup Arsenal eased to a 3-0 away win at Blackpool. They have met Manchester United already this season, playing out a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford in the Premier League back at the start of December.
Key-Facts – Arsenal v Manchester United
- Arsenal have won all but one of their last seven home games
- The Gunners have averaged three goals per game in their last three home fixtures
- Manchester United are on a seven match winning streak at the moment
Manchester United have won two of the last three meetings with Arsenal, drawing the other one in that sequence. However, they have lost two of their last three trips to the Emirates Stadium, failing to score in two of those. They also lost the last FA Cup tie between them which was back in 2015 with Arsenal getting a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford. But the Red Devils are a team in form at the moment as they are on a seven-match winning streak across all competitions.
They have had to grind out a couple of results along the way in that sequence, but they have been finding ways to prevail. United have conceded just one goal in their last four games played. They are currently on a three-match winning streak away from home, those being the only three wins in their last seven road games. The Red Devils have taken just two clean sheets in their last 11 away games as well, but they have been back-to-back ones in their last two.
Arsenal v Manchester United Predictions
Arsenal to win: This could well be a great, open game with Arsenal scoring well at home and Manchester United having a new lease of attacking life. But there is really nothing wrong with Arsenal’s home form to not warrant them finding a way to win this 7/5 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on January 23rd, 2109 at 3:23 p.m.)
