The fans of the two top teams from Manchester are currently getting their money’s worth. The Premier League table is currently topped by Manchester City, but United is only one point behind as the first pursuer. The Red Devils missed the leap back to the top during the week due to a sensational 1: 2 defeat at home to bottom group Sheffield United.
On Saturday evening, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team is not only concerned with three important points in the battle for the championship, but also with reparations. The runner-up will then be visiting the capital. Before the eagerly anticipated top game between Arsenal and Manchester United, the odds of the best bookmakers suggest a duel on equal terms.
If ManUtd had been the clear favourite just a few weeks ago, the starting position has now changed somewhat. In terms of form, the advantages lie with the Gunners, who have been unbeaten in six league games and recorded five wins in this period. It seems like the knot has finally broken with the men of Mikel Arteta.
The latest from high in connection with the fact that the Londoners have recently enjoyed playing against the record champions makes a prediction for the home side interesting on Saturday at the Emirates Stadium between Arsenal and Manchester United.
Arsenal – Stats & current form
Arsenal Football Club is currently something of the team of the hour in the Premier League. Just a few weeks ago, the Gunners were considered the biggest disappointment of the current season. Meanwhile, the situation at the capital club has improved extremely. The basis for the jump to ninth place and the shortening of the deficit to five points to the Champions League ranks was the latest positive trend.
The team of the Spanish coach Mikel Arteta scored 16 out of a possible 18 points in the past six match days and was thus able to meet their own requirements for the first time this season. For comparison: Arsenal celebrated more victories and scored more goals than in the first 14 matchdays in 2020/21 during the period mentioned. Confidence has returned and suggests a tip on the home side between Arsenal and Manchester United.
Arsenal with 16 points from their last six Premier League games
From the perspective of the Londoners, it should also be mentioned positively that things have been going really well at home recently. Across all competitions, the gunners in their own stadium did not concede three times in a row. In the Premier League, there were at least seven points to celebrate from the last three home games. In general, the more stable defence is one of the reasons for the upswing. Two goals conceded in the last six league games underline this impressively.
In addition to the great form and the improved work against the ball, the good results against the upcoming opponent in the recent past are also taken into account when looking for a suitable Arsenal vs. Manchester United prediction. For the first time since 1998, the Gunners could win three Premier League duels in a row against the record champions.
There is also good news from Captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. After the ex-Dortmund was absent twice so he could support his sick mother, the weekend beckons to return to the squad. It would be important to use the attacker, especially since the Gabonese scored in four of his last five matches against United. Ceballos and Mari are injured. Partey and Smith-Rowe are currently still ailing. New signing Odegaard could make his debut as Joker.
The probable lineup of Arsenal:
Leno; Bellerin, Holding, Luiz, Cedric; Thomas, Xhaka; Saka, Smith Rowe, Pepe; Lacazette

Manchester United – Stats & current form
Out of nowhere, Manchester United surprisingly left three points in the race for the championship during the week. At home against the battered bottom group Sheffield United, the Solskjaer-Elf embarrassed themselves to the bone and ultimately lost 2-1. Instead of knocking out city rivals ManCity from the throne, the Red Devils are now second in the table in the well-known top game on Saturday evening.
Meanwhile, the fact that the 20-time English champion can play away again makes hope for successful rehabilitation. Paul Pogba and his colleagues have been unbeaten for 17 games abroad. ManUtd has already scored 26 points in opposing stadiums. Eight wins face two draws. Five of the eight mentioned successes came about with only one goal difference. In many cases, the record champions benefited from the “luck of the capable”.
Is Bruno Fernandes ‘losing streak pulling the whole team down?
The trainer’s record speaks against the championship contender at the weekend. In fact, Solskjaer has so far not won any of his four meetings with the Gunners (one draw, three bankruptcies). This makes the Norwegian the only coach in United’s history who has stood on the sidelines more than once against Arsenal and is still without a sense of achievement.
Because the Red Devils have regularly played English weeks since the beginning of January and, unlike Arsenal, were still in action in the League Cup at the beginning of the year, tiredness could definitely become an issue. With the exception of the ailing Eric Bailly, the hospital is still completely thinned out. More serious is the weakness of top scorer Bruno Fernandes, who remained without a hit or template in his last four Premier League games.
The probable lineup of Manchester United:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Fred, McTominay; Rashford, Fernandes, Pogba; Cavani

Arsenal vs Manchester United – Direct comparison / H2H balance
It goes without saying that it is a real classic in English football. For the 184th time, both teams face each other in the country’s top division. With 75 wins, ManUtd leads the direct comparison ahead of Arsenal with 63 successes. 45 games ended in a draw.
It is also interesting to note that the Gunners were only able to achieve a so-called “season double”, that is to say, victories in two legs, against the Red Devils for the fourth time in history. The Londoners just won the first leg at Old Trafford 1-0. In general, looking back on the last ten Premier League duels, Manchester United only achieved three full successes, only one of them in the capital.

Arsenal vs Manchester United Betting Predictions and Odds by PicksSoccer Experts
Not so long ago, Manchester United’s away game at Arsenal Football Club would have been a must. In view of the latest developments, however, we can look forward to an even and hopefully good-class top game on the 21st matchday in the English Premier League.
Between Arsenal and Manchester United, according to the odds, the guest’s role of favourite is no longer as clear as expected. The reason for this is, on the one hand, the embarrassing 1: 2 home defeat of the Red Devils during the week against Sheffield United and on the other hand the remarkable form of the Gunners, who scored 16 points from the last six league games.
Key facts – Arsenal vs Manchester United tips
- Arsenal have been unbeaten in six league games, winning five of them
- Solskjaer is still waiting for the first three against the Londoners after four attempts
- The Gunners could win against the record champions for the third time in a row
In addition, the recent past between these two clubs also speaks more for the Londoners. United coach Solskjaer, for example, has never won against Arsenal in four attempts. On the other hand, Mikel Arteta could become the first AFC coach to win his first three league duels with the record champions.
The bottom line is that before the match Arsenal vs Manchester United, we decide on the tip on the home win. In order to minimize the risk somewhat, we switch to the two-way market and in the event of a draw, we get back the stake in the amount of six units.
