Arsenal vs Man United Prediction, Lineups & Betting Tips
Arsenal vs Man United prediction, lineups and betting tips for the Premier League match between the two sides on Super Sunday
Arsenal and Manchester United conclude the Premier League weekend when they collide in a heavyweight showdown at the Emirates on Sunday. After three rounds of fixtures, these two old foes are separated by just three places and one point in the table.
Having started the season with wins against Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, Arsenal were unable to maintain their perfect start after being held to a 2-2 draw at home to Fulham last weekend. Meanwhile, Manchester United earned their second home win of the season by staging a remarkable comeback from two goals down to defeat Nottingham Forest 3-2.
Arsenal vs Man United Prediction
Arsenal and Man United traded blows in a five-goal thriller when they last met at the Emirates in January and their latest encounter promises plenty of excitement and entertainment. Both of these big-hitters have a string of talented attacking options within their respective ranks so we should see a fair deal of goalmouth action in the capital.
While both of these sides pack a punch up front, at the other end of the park, the pair have looked defensively suspect during the early weeks of the season. Arsenal’s rearguard fragility was clear to see when conceding twice against Fulham last time out, and it was also apparent when they hosted Nottingham Forest on the opening weekend of the season.
As for Manchester United, their backline has been sliced open with alarming ease in each of their opening three games of the season so far, which does not bode well ahead of Sunday’s showdown against such a strong Arsenal attack.
The Gunners triumphed 3-2 in the corresponding fixture last season and a similar high-scoring contest could well be on the cards on Sunday.
