Arsenal v Man United Betting Tips and Predictions

The International break is over and it’s back to the cut and thrust of the Premier League for Arsenal and Man United in this hotly anticipated teatime clash between the two Champions League chasers.

United have suffered injuries to two crucial players during this break; holding midfielder Daley Blind, and their very much in form goalkeeper David De Gea. Whilst Blind is definitely out of the clash at the Emirates with a knee problem, De Gea is only doubtful with a finger injury.

United fans will be desperate to see the Spanish stopper recover in time to face an Arsenal team not short in attacking flair. With United already missing several first team defenders, the loss of their inspirational goalkeeper would surely prove a bitter blow and expose an already fragile defence even more. Chris Smalling’s mind-bogglingly rash red card against City (and subsequent 3 match ban) as well as Marcos Rojo’s nasty looking shoulder injury have added to United’s defensive woes. Arsenal have no such injury concerns and Arsene Wenger will surely choose an attacking team to go out and hurt United’s weakened defence.

Furthermore, United’s record signing Angel Di Maria is also a doubt for the game after being kicked by on loan United misfit Nani in the Argentina vs. Portugal clash.

Recent head to head history is however in United’s favour, losing just one match from their previous 14 against the Gunners; at the Emirates in a 1-0 defeat in 2011. United have already shown against Chelsea, and to some extent Man City this season, that against the big teams, they are able to hold their own, even with a number of first choice defenders sidelined through injury and suspension. They were able to hold out with 10 men against West Ham and came very close to grabbing a point with the same numerical disadvantage away to the Champions, Man City. It seems that United’s defensive resilience is slowly growing under the management of Louis Van Gaal, despite their luck with injuries bordering on the absurd.

The last two meetings at the Emirates have ended in draws and given United’s promising performances against Chelsea and Man City, it is hard to see them losing this fixture. In the Gunners’ previous two fixtures, against Swansea and Anderlecht, they have conceded goals when in a winning position and subsequently dropped points. Arsenal have dropped more points than any other team from winning positions in this season's Premier League (9) and I can see United’s attackers punishing Arsenal’s fragility equally.

With this is mind; my first Arsenal v Man United betting tip would be a draw and both teams to score. The best odds are with Bet Victor at 18/5. Paddy Power have a money back as a free bet offer with bets of up to £50 refunded if the game ends as a draw.

Danny Welbeck will be eager to prove a point against his boyhood team who deemed him surplus to requirements at Old Trafford. Off the back of his brace for England in their qualifier against Slovenia he will be full of confidence, as well as scoring his first career hat trick in the Champions league, he will be itching for the chance to show United what they’re missing. Take the odds of 17/10 with Ladbrokes that Danny Welbeck scores anytime against Man United.

However, I believe the result of this match depends on who is fit for United and who is not. If David De Gea can prove his fitness then United will benefit immensely from his presence. If not, I predict to see an Arsenal win. If you are going to bet on this game, I would definitely wait until the line-ups are announced as this will have a significant bearing on the odds depending on United’s absentees.
