MUFC (Manchester United) vs ARS (Arsenal) Match Prediction
England
Old Trafford
Arsenal on the other hand remain in the same boat as they need to win all their games and hope that Manchester City drops points in 1 of their last 3 games. The Gunners did their bargain of things after beating Bournemouth in their last game at the Emirates Stadium. Saka stepped up from the spot to score the opening goal. He then got his second of the game with a stunning strike with his left foot. Declan Rice put the Cherry on the cake after he slotted in the third to hand Arsenal the 3 points.
Facts:
- Manchester United have a brilliant record against Arsenal in the Premier League when they play in their home stadium. The Red Devils have lost just 1 of their last 16 games played at the Theatre of Dreams. United have won 10 of those games and drawn 5. The one defeat they faced came in 2020 with Aubameyang scoring the solitary goal in the tie.
- Arsenal in the reverse fixture were late winners as they won 3-1 on the day at the Emirates earlier this season. If they win on Sunday at Old Trafford then they will complete their first Premier League double over Manchester United since the 2006/07 season. The Gunners have also won each of their last 2 games and a win here would see them win 3 in a row for the first time since 1997-1998.
- Arsenal have had a good goal-scoring record at Old Trafford in their last few games. The Gunners have scored in each of their 9 visits to the Theatre of Dreams. Before these 9 games and since the inception of the Premier League, Arsenal failed to score in 12 of their first 22 games against the Red Devils.
- Two London teams Crystal Palace and Fulham have already tasted victories at Old Trafford against Manchester United this season. Arsenal have a big chance of becoming the third side to do it. Manchester United in their Premier League history have lost to 3 London teams at home in a single campaign twice with one being in 2001/02 and the other in 2020/21. In both of these campaigns, Arsenal beat them at Old Trafford.
Manchester United vs Arsenal's Chance of Winning
Manchester United have had the better record against Arsenal when it comes to head-to-head records in recent games. In the last 37 meetings between these two teams, Manchester United have won 17 times, 9 games ended in a draw with Arsenal winning 11 times.
Manchester United were down and out against Crystal Palace in their last game. They were demolished at Selhurst Park and they looked like a team who have just given up. Things have gone wrong for Erik Ten Hag this season as he has never had the opportunity to pick from a full squad, Injuries have hampered their season and things can go from bad to worse in this game. The defence they have at the moment in no way can stop Arsenal. Their only hope would be to outscore them and even that is highly unlikely.
Arsenal on the other hand have to win. Their record at Old Trafford has not been good but this is the best chance the Gunners have in years to register a win at Old Trafford. Arsenal is at their highest and Manchester United are at its lowest in years and that is why we believe that the Gunners have a much better chance of winning this game at the Theatre of Dreams.

Our Prediction
Favorites to win
Arsenal
A loss against Manchester United practically hands over the title to Manchester City and Arsenal cannot afford that. Considering the form Manchester United are in this game should be a cakewalk for Arsenal. Erik Ten Hag’s defence is shattered at the moment. Casemiro and Evans are not the answer to Arsenal’s attack and that is why we believe Arsenal will be easy winners in this game. Our prediction is a 3-0 Arsenal win on Sunday at Old Trafford.
