Arsenal vs Man United prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash

The Gunners will be looking to extend their lead at the top of the table to as much as seven points as they welcome Man United in this weekend's Premier League clash

Arsenal and Manchester United are set to clash in the Premier League this weekend, with the Red Devils looking to demonstrate continued improvement under new manager Michael Carrick. Arsenal currently sit above United in both the league table and underlying performance metrics, and they have the upper hand in recent meetings, having won the last two league encounters between the sides.

Recent form further underscores the gap between the teams: Arsenal are unbeaten in their last six matches, with four wins and two draws, while United have recorded two wins, three draws, and one defeat over the same period. The Gunners are enjoying an impressive unbeaten run, now stretching to 12 matches with ten victories and two draws. Their home form has been particularly dominant—Mikel Arteta’s side have not lost at the Emirates since May 2025, when Bournemouth secured a 2-1 win. Defensively, Arsenal have been outstanding at home, ranking among the league’s best for clean sheets and conceding very few goals at the Emirates. Their matches also feature one of the lowest "both teams to score" rates in the division.

Manchester United, meanwhile, arrive with just one win in their last five matches. That win, however, was a notable one: in Carrick’s managerial debut, United defeated rivals Manchester City 2-0 in an impressive performance. While this result offers hope of a new era at Old Trafford, Arsenal’s dominance—especially on home turf—poses a formidable challenge that may prove too much for even an improving United side.

Since Carrick’s appointment, United’s recent results may not tell the full story, as the team’s tactical approach has shifted. In their last five matches, both teams have scored in four, while only two have featured over 2.5 goals, indicating a more disciplined defensive setup compared to earlier in the season.

Overall, while Manchester United appear to be heading in a positive direction under new management, Arsenal’s consistency and formidable record at the Emirates make them strong favourites going into this weekend’s fixture.
