Recent Form: A Rocky Start
Both Arsenal and Manchester United have had a bit of a rocky start to the season. Arsenal faced disappointment in their season opener, dropping points against 10-man Fulham when they conceded a late goal. On the other side, Manchester United suffered a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham early in the season before coming back to win 3-2 against Nottingham Forest.
Key Match Details

Prediction and Odds
Arsenal enters this match as the favorite with odds of -135. Recent history supports this favoritism, as the home team has won the last four meetings between these two clubs. Importantly, Manchester United has not secured a league victory at the Emirates since 2017, with the Gunners boasting a six-match unbeaten streak at home against the Red Devils in league play.
Our Prediction: Arsenal to win 2-0
Best Bet: Arsenal -1 Goal Handicap
With Arsenal's recent dominance at home against United and a more reliable finishing record this season, taking Arsenal with a -1 goal handicap at +125 seems like a solid bet.
Prop Bet: Under 4.5 Total Card
For those looking for a prop bet, consider under 4.5 total cards at +180. While these two teams have a history of getting into scuffles, the high threshold for bookings in this match offers enticing value. The referee, Anthony Taylor, who officiated their last competitive meeting, issued only three bookings. This season, while yellow cards have been up across the Premier League, they are likely to normalize as players adapt.
Sunday's clash between Arsenal and Manchester United promises excitement and drama. Whether you're backing the Gunners with a handicap or going for the under-on cards, this match has all the ingredients for a thrilling encounter. Enjoy the game!
