Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Manchester United
Arsenal hoping to break down a buoyant Manchester United side
While their draw against Crystal Palace was certainly a dampener, Erik ten Hag’s side have been excellent since the restart following the 2022 FIFA World Cup break. They have played fast-paced football and have even beaten the likes of Manchester City during this time.
Manchester United will be without Casemiro due to suspension. The midfielder has been a crucial player for the club since joining from Real Madrid last summer.
The Gunners, meanwhile, lost the reverse fixture 3-1 earlier this season. They will look to take their revenge and extend their lead over Manchester City to eight points at the top of the table.
