Manchester United welcome arch-rivals, Arsenal, to Old Trafford for a Premier League showdown on Sunday, with the Red Devils desperately needing a win to avoid dropping further down the table and ending the Gunners’ fading hopes of winning the title this season while at it.
Match Odds
Prediction
Arsenal are looking to get five successive wins over Manchester United for the first time in the Premier League history, and a 7-1 win at PSV in midweek would have done their confidence a world of good.
Manchester United may have beaten the Gunners in the FA Cup two months ago, but they need to go back to 2022 for the last time they got a league win over Mikel Arteta’s team. And their recent form does not suggest that will change soon.
That’s why we have our money on Arsenal to win or draw. Check out this list of bookies for great offers and remember to bet responsibly.

Team News
Patrick Dorgu will miss the match as he serves the second of a three-match suspension while Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount could make a return to the match-day squad. Harry Maguire and Manuel Ugarte are doubts for the match, with manager Ruben Amorim insisting he would not risk any player’s fitness.
Amorim did hint at Chido Obi-Martin featuring against his former club although it remains to be seen if the highly-rated teenage striker with get a starting shirt. Toby Collyer could also feature for the Red Devils having made a cameo appearance at Real Sociedad on Thursday.
Arsenal have no new injury concerns and having claimed a big advantage from their Champions League Round of 16 first leg tie, Arteta is expected to field a full strength starting line-up with no worry for the return leg to be played on home soil.
