Arsenal vs Manchester United

Arsenal continue to set the pace in the English Premier League and host Manchester United on Sunday.

The Red Devils are looking to head into some proper new manager bounce, but face a Gunners side full of confidence. The hosts have been almost unstoppable at home lately and should claim the upper hand here.

Arsenal News

Arsenal were held to a 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest last time out, but still went seven points clear after Manchester City fell in the derby. The Gunners made a swift return to winning ways in the Champions League after earning a 3-1 victory at Inter Milan.

Both results are part of a lengthy unbeaten run for Arsenal, who have not lost in the last 12 matches across all competitions. Mikel Arteta's team are also unbeaten at home this season and have won four of their last five Premier League fixtures at Emirates Stadium.

Goals often flow freely for Arsenal, who have scored in 14 of their last 15 home matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in three of their last four Premier League matches, with all three fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Manchester United News

Manchester United are coming off a fine performance in the derby, claiming a 2-0 victory over rivals Manchester City. That was a vital win for the Red Devils, ending a four-match winless run.

It was Michael Carrick’s first match in charge, and the manager will hope it has set the tone for the rest of his interim tenure. He will need to improve the team’s form on the road, having failed to win their last three away matches.

Manchester United often struggle defensively on their travels and are without a clean sheet in their last 10 away matches. However, they have scored in nine of those fixtures, while nine matches on this run have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Arsenal have seven wins and two draws, while Manchester United have picked up three victories in the last 12 matches. The Gunners claimed a 1-0 away win in the reverse fixture back in August.

Verdict

Arsenal v Man Utd

Manchester United are aiming to build on an impressive win in the derby, but face an Arsenal side that have been almost unstoppable this season. The Gunners are unbeaten at home and should have the upper hand in this one.

Both teams have scored in three of their last five meetings, and a similar outcome is expected here. With nine of Manchester United's last 10 away matches producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat could be on the cards.
