Recent encounters between both sides have become a one-sided affair, with Arsenal claiming four wins in their last five competitive meetings with United.
The Gunners are in fairly good shape heading into this contest. They have suffered a sole loss in their last 14 games, during which Arsenal won nine games and drew four times. They remain second on the EPL table, level on points with Nottingham Forest, who sit in third with 40 points.
Overall, Arsenal seems to be fine; however, their performances in recent games have not been encouraging. The Gunners drew at Brighton 1:1 in their last league match before succumbing to a 2:0 defeat against Newcastle on Tuesday. Now, they will look to start another winning run by securing victory over United on Sunday. The Gunners Premier League odds still position them as potential favorites to win the title.
Ethan Nwaneri, Bukayo Saka, Ben White, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are not available.
Bar a few positive results, the Red Devils have been very poor in recent outings. Since their 2:1 win against City, United has lost four games in a row. In total, United has lost 10 times across all competitions this season, with nine of those defeats coming in the league.
Despite their poor run of form, United got a positive result at Anfield in their last league game. They managed to secure a 2:2 draw against Liverpool thanks to Amad Diallo’s late equalizer. Now, they will look to push on and get back to winning ways by getting a win at the Emirates.
Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, and Victor Lindelöf are unavailable. It is still unclear if Marcus Rashford will be recalled back to the squad.
Here are our Arsenal vs Man United betting predictions:

Arsenal’s defeat to Newcastle on Tuesday was primarily due to their lack of effectiveness in the box. The Gunners created six big chances compared to Newcastle’s two and took 23 shots against their opponents’ seven. If Arsenal had been more clinical in front of goal, they likely would have secured a victory in that match. Should the Gunners improve their finishing against United, they have a strong chance of winning, especially considering United’s struggling defense. The Red Devils have conceded 14 goals in their last six matches. So, for our first prediction, we back Arsenal to win this game.
