🗓️ 09/03/2025 | 🏆 Premier League | 🏟 Old Trafford
🔎 PREVIEW FOR MANCHESTER UNITED VS ARSENAL
Manchester United and Arsenal face off in one of the most iconic fixtures in English football, but the gap between the two sides has rarely been wider. The Red Devils are trailing the Gunners by 21 points in the Premier League standings, highlighting their struggles this season. After a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad in the Europa League, United will need to dig deep to secure consecutive league wins for the first time this campaign.
MANCHESTER UNITED VS ARSENAL H2H AND KEY STATS
Recent history favours Arsenal, with four consecutive Premier League victories against United — their longest winning streak in this fixture. Despite knocking out the Gunners from the FA Cup in January, United’s home form remains shaky, winning just two of their last seven league matches at Old Trafford (5 losses).
Arsenal will be confident of rewriting history as they look to win back-to-back league games at Old Trafford for the first time since 1979. After failing to score in their last two Premier League outings, Mikel Arteta’s side made a huge statement by thrashing PSV 7-1 in the Champions League — the biggest away win in the knockout stages of the competition.
Arteta, taking charge of his 200th Premier League game, has an impressive record against United, winning seven of his 10 meetings (1 draw, 2 losses). His 70% win rate is the highest of any manager to face the Red Devils at least five times in the competition.
⚽ MANCHESTER UNITED VS ARSENAL PREDICTION
🏆 FINAL RESULT – WHO WILL PREVAIL?
✅ Manchester United Win
With the support of Old Trafford, United could pull off a surprise if Joshua Zirkzee continues scoring. The Dutchman found the net against Real Sociedad and could capitalise on Arsenal’s recent league struggles.
⚖️ Draw
Both teams might approach the game cautiously with European commitments looming. United’s inconsistent form and Arsenal’s struggles in front of goal could lead to a closely fought draw.
💥 Arsenal Win
The Gunners are favourites thanks to their superior form and recent dominance in this fixture. Their devastating Champions League display could give them the confidence boost needed to secure another victory.
⚽ TOTAL GOALS OVER/UNDER
🔥 Over 2.5 Goals
With both teams possessing attacking talent, this clash could deliver plenty of action, especially if Arsenal replicate their midweek form.
🛑 Under 2.5 Goals
Arsenal’s last two league matches ended without them scoring, and United’s lack of attacking options could result in a low-scoring encounter.
🤝 BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
✅ Yes
Defensive vulnerabilities on both sides could open the door for goals at either end, especially with Zirkzee and Leandro Trossard in form.
🚫 No
If Arsenal adopt a more cautious approach and United struggle to create chances, a clean sheet for one or both sides is possible.
⭐ ANYTIME GOALSCORERS
⚡ Joshua Zirkzee (Manchester United)
Zirkzee is becoming United’s main attacking threat, scoring crucial goals in recent matches and thriving with more playing time.
🎯 Leandro Trossard (Arsenal)
Fresh off scoring against PSV, Trossard has a knack for finding the net in big games and could be Arsenal’s danger man.
