Arsenal vs Manchester Utd prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-12-03 20:15.
[p]Arguably the Premier League’s most iconic rivalry takes centre stage on Wednesday night as Arsenal and Manchester United renew hostilities. Mikel Arteta’s men come into this clash full of confidence after winning each of their three matches since the international break by a 3+ goal margin, most recently seeing off West Ham 5-2 in a match that incredibly saw all seven goals arrive before half-time![/p]
[p]Unbeaten in 12 outings at the Emirates (W10, D2), Arsenal return home with history on their minds as they look to hang onto Liverpool’s heels in the title race. That’s because the Gunners are chasing a fourth consecutive league H2H victory over United for the first time in their history, while they could also become the first side since themselves in the 1970s to net 3+ goals in four successive home league meetings with the Red Devils.[/p]
[p]New Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is tasked with avoiding such a fate, and his squad travel to the capital buoyant after a strong start to his tenure (W2, D1), capped off by an emphatic 4-0 win over Everton on Sunday. While Amorim stressed that performance was “far from perfect”, the fact that represents United’s biggest league win since August 2021 suggests he’s got the club moving in the right direction.[/p]
[p]Overall, United have lost just one of their last 12 matches in all competitions (W6, D5), but it’s on the road where further improvements are necessary. The Red Devils’ only travelling victory this term came at Southampton, going winless in all six subsequent away matches (D5, L1), and having lost seven of their last nine league trips to Arsenal (W1, D1), including each of the last three, correcting that form here appears a tall order. [/p]
[p]Key battle: Arsenal’s set-piece prowess was on display again at the weekend, as they netted a 20th goal from corners since the start of last season. That’s a league-high, as is the five that centre-back Gabriel has scored from corners in that time. United’s Marcus Rashford was also on target from a corner at the weekend as part of a brace, while he’s netted four times in his last three meetings against Arsenal, including one on each of his last two trips to the Emirates.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Arsenal have won just two of their 17 Premier League meetings with Manchester United to kick-off at 7pm or later (D9, L6).[/p]
