Manchester United are currently in sixth place but got a well needed win before the international break when they beat Swansea 3-1 and they know that a win here could move them to within three points of Arsenal and that wouldn’t be such a crisis then would it? There is no doubt that Mourinho is still trying to find his best team but with fixtures coming fix and fast now running up to Christmas he has got to hope that the squad starts clicking or their will be serious questions asked.   The rivalry between the two managers is fierce and it’s fair to say that they are not the best of friends but Mourinho definitely has the edge over Arsene Wenger and the Frenchman has never beaten a Jose Mourinho team in a Premier league meeting and will be hoping that changes on Saturday. After their 1-1 draw in the North London Derby a couple of weeks ago, Arsenal are in their favourite position and sitting in 4th place only two points of the league leaders. They have been in great form since they lost on the opening day to Liverpool and both Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez have been instrumental for them this season. Both of these players destroyed Manchester United when they visited the Emirates last season and both got on the scoresheet and if they are on top form then the United defence will have their work cut out.

 

Man United vs Arsenal Predictions

I think this game could go either way and could depend on which Manchester United show up but one thing that I am sure on is goals. Both of these sides have defensive injury and I think the attackers will capitalise on this and get a few goals. For my first Man United vs Arsenal betting tip I think over 2.5 goals is my banker bet of the whole weekend as four of the last five meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals and you can find this at evens with William Hill.

Anytime Goalscorer Tips

My second Man United vs Arsenal is going to be in the anytime goal scorer market. I am going to go for Marcus Rashford to score against Arsenal again. He burst onto the Premier League scene when he scored two goals against them last season and has always looked a threat when he has played through the middle and with his pace I can see him having quite a few chances and I am backing him to score at least one of them. He is 2/1 to score anytime at Bet Victor.

Manchester United vs Arsenal Team News

Manchester United may have an unfamiliar back four again as Antonio Valencia, Chris Smalling and Eric Bailly are all definitely out. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is suspended so it may mean that Marcus Rashford starts up top for United as it is doubtful that Wayne Rooney will start on Saturday after his off the field antics whilst on duty with England. As for Arsenal, they will be hoping that Alexis Sanchez is 100% fit after trekking to South America on international duty and Hector Bellerin will be missing until early December after picking up an ankle injury and this is a big blow for the gunners as he has been one of their most consistent players in the past twelve months. 

 

 

Manchester United vs Arsenal Head to Head Stats

These sides have had several title grudge matches in the past twenty years, however in recent times it’s been more about qualifying for the Champions League than going for the title. In both Premier League matches last year the home side won with United’s win being memorable for Marcus Rashford as he scored two goals on his Premier League debut.

 

Manchester United vs Arsenal Betting Odds

I said that I was finding it hard to pick a winner and so are the bookies. They have Manchester United favourites at 13/8 with Betfred. Arsenal are best priced 2/1 to win with Marathon Bet and you can find the draw at 12/5 with Paddy Power. If you don’t mind doing the early kick-off then putting this game in your BTTS accumulator isn’t a bad shout and this is best priced 3/4 at Coral. Finally a 1-1 draw is the most popular score and this is 6/1 at Bet Victor but I fancy more goals than that and 3-2 to either side could be worth a quid or two and this is 33/1 with Bet365.
