Arsenal v Man United Preview

Arsenal’s Form

Arteta’s Arsenal assignment for the 24/25 season was certainly to finally land another “major” trophy following four successive trophyless seasons at the club since their victory in the 2020 FA Cup Final over Chelsea. They’re currently sitting in second spot in the Premier League 6 points behind Liverpool having played an extra game though they’re also in the EFL Cup Semi-Finals.

Arsenal haven’t had the best of weeks though, first being pulled back for a 1-1 draw against Brighton last weekend to lose further ground in the league. Midweek they also fell to a 0-2 loss in their EFL Cup semi-final first leg against Newcastle.

23/24 FA Cup Run

Third Round – Arsenal 0-2 Liverpool

Despite their early exit last season Arsenal are the most successful side in the history of the competition with their 2020 success when they beat Chelsea putting them on 14 trophies, they have one more than their opponents in this game.

Man United’s Form

Amorim will have past his two-month anniversary as Man United manager before this game at the weekend and it’s certainly been an interesting start to his tenure with 4 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from his opening 12 games. However, Old Trafford wasn’t built in a day, and supporters will need to exercise caution in their expectations these coming months.

United’s weekend showing against Liverpool was positive though, and since Amorim’s appointment, they’ve generally performed well at least in large parts in games against Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham which is grounds for optimism for the club.

Man United have made two successive FA Cup Final appearances and knocking Arsenal out in this game would be a considerable step to equalling their 14 FA Cup trophies won in the coming months.

Key Players To Watch

Gabriel Jesus – Arsenal

Jesus is a strange player to judge, when it comes to technical ability, movement and work ethic when playing he plays an integral part in Arteta’s style of play. However, he’s not the most productive in front of goal hence why Man City saw him as surplus to requirements.

This season he has 7 goals and 2 assists in 2 games, though he’s just been named December Player of the Month following 5 goals in 7 games across all competitions. Jesus is priced at 11/2 to be the first goal scorer and 15/8 to score anytime.

Amad Diallo – Man United

Amad has been in and out of the Man United starting side all season but has found an important place in the team now whether that be in his newfound RWB role or his natural AM position. He continued his flying form last weekend scoring the equaliser to make it 2-2 against Liverpool.

He now has 6 goals and 7 assists meaning he has a goal involvement roughly every 0.68 games this season. He’s priced at 11/1 to be the first goal scorer and 4/1 to score anytime.

Arsenal v Man United Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Man United

Arsenal have had a disappointing week, but they remain a solid side and extremely effective from set pieces as they showed in their last game over United.

Man United right now look better served to perform against the “bigger” sides in recent weeks so I would expect them to put in a decent showing at the weekend.

In the end, though, I think Arsenal are just far too developed for this United side and will win out when it matters,

Best Bet: Arsenal Win + Under 4.5 Goals @ EVS
