Manchester United Team Analysis and Overview
Manchester United has two wins (1-0 over Wolverhampton in the opener and 3-2 against Nottingham) and one defeat through three matchdays, with the defeat coming away to Tottenham.
The Red Devils were highly active in the transfer market, and it will be interesting to see what kind of starting lineup they send out for this showdown with the Gunners. They’re not at full strength, with a few key injuries across the squad, which doesn’t bode well in this clash at Emirates.
Arsenal Team Analysis and Overview
The Gunners have gone unbeaten in their first three fixtures, beating Nottingham 2-1 and Crystal Palace 1-0 before a disappointing 2-2 draw against Fulham last matchday. Arsenal allowed a late goal in the 87th minute and had to settle for only a point in a game where they had to figure they’d secure all 3.
While that was a tough draw to accept, Gunners fans still have to be extremely excited about the direction their club is going. They’ll be competing for the Premier League title once again and have a fantastic, likely long-term manager in Mikel Arteta, who seems to be checking all the right boxes.
Premier League Pick & Prediction | Manchester United vs. Arsenal
In the end, OddsShopper has to back the Gunners in this situation. They’ll be eager to get back to their winning ways after coughing up a lead late last time out, and they’ll have their faithful fans behind them. Arsenal is also simply the better, more cohesive side right now.
So while the Red Devils are obviously a very talented outfit and could pose some problems here and there, we’re expecting a victory and all 3 points for Arsenal here.
