Arsenal vs Manchester United Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 3rd September 2023

Round four of the new Premier League campaign will see Arsenal play host to last season’s top 3 finishers Manchester United on Sunday.

Arsenal are currently number 3 with seven points and will be very eager to hang to that position at the very least. Qualifying for the Champions League would naturally boost the club coffers and bring excitement to Emirates Stadium.

With the gap between Arsenal and Manchester United being only one point, the former currently occupy number three in the table. The latter trail them at number six.

The Manchester United have plenty of motivation for their game against the Arsenal, who are favourites to win with the bookmakers. Although odds are not in their favour, a slim victory could see the visitors overtake their opponents in the standings.

Arsenal presents an average of just 1.9 goals per game in their last ten games. They scored a moderate 19times, while also conceding 15. This amounts to an average of 1.5 per game in which, they kept their opponents from scoring in three matches.

Manchester United hit the target 14 times in the last ten outings, which creates an average of 1.4 goals a game. They conceded 0.8 goals per match for a total of eight goals, while claiming four clean sheets as well.

Manchester United were knocked out cold when Arsenal took a 3-2 win in their latest encounter. It served as pay back for the 3-1 defeat, Manchester United handed out in the game before.

Arsenal vs Manchester United Prediction

Arsenal Form

Arsenal collected seven points from their last three matches, as they ran out 2-1 and 0-1 winners against Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, respectively. Against Fulham, they had to settle for a draw after a 2-2 draw. In their last six Premier League home matches, Arsenal have three wins, while they've drawn two and lost one. They scored 15 and conceded ten goals.

A second place finish is the absolute minimum Arsenal should achieve this coming season where the main target is of course the title.

Manchester United Form

Results have been up and down for Manchester United, who beat Wolverhampton by 1-0. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 2-0 against Tottenham, before claiming three points in a 3-2 win against Nottingham Forest. Manchester United, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn one and lost three in their last six away in the Premier League.

It's likely an ambitious goal, but after their impressive fourth place finish last season, Manchester United have set their sights on a spot on the podium this season.

Arsenal look in strong shape, while Manchester United don't look quite as convincing, which makes betting on the home win a no-brainer in this match.
