Manchester United’s defense is in poor form, especially with both starting center-backs injured, as they haven’t kept a single clean sheet in their last seven games. Arsenal are coming off a game in which they scored seven goals, and they have the confidence to keep this scoring form going. Man United have gone over the total in 10 of their last 14 home games.

Mikel Merino has been performing well for Arsenal lately, especially since scoring a crucial brace to give them the win over Leicester City. The Spanish player has three goals and an assist in the last four games, and he has been the team’s starting and pretty much only striker with the injuries they have. Man United are struggling defensively, so he will have a lot of opportunities to get a goal contribution.
The Gunners are simply in better form and in great spirits after a big win, so we expect a good performance from them. Make sure you use our 2025 Man United vs Arsenal betting predictions and bet them at the legal bookmakers in the UK to have more fun watching the game.
