Arsenal vs. Man United Prediction
Arsenal come into this match aiming to defeat Manchester United in four consecutive Premier League games for the first time in their history. Additionally, they have only lost once in their last nine home league matches against the Red Devils, which gives them an edge.
Both sides have displayed good attacking prowess in recent weeks, with some gaps opening in their defense which the opposition can exploit. Manchester United have seen a short purple patch under Amorim, but Arsenal are the more complete side despite their injury concerns.
The Gunners should win this game, however, the Red Devils will give them a tough challenge.
