Arsenal vs Man United Predictions, Betting Tips & Match Preview

Joe Vaughan 03 Mar 2026
  • Premier League leaders Arsenal welcome Manchester United to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday and will be looking to stay in control of the title race.

    The Gunners may have seen their lead at the top reduced to four points by the time they kick-off on Sunday, with nearest rivals Manchester City hosting bottom of the table Wolves 24 hours earlier.

    This should be a tough test for Mikel Arteta’s side, with United revived following their derby success against City last Saturday.

Why We’re Backing Man United to Win @ 27/5 with BetMGM

  • Morale is suddenly sky-high at Old Trafford following Michael Carrick’s appointment as interim head coach.
  • The Manchester derby scoreline flattered rivals City, who were absolutely battered by the revived Red Devils.
  • Kobbie Mainoo did not get on with previous manager Ruben Amorim, but looks ready to prove he is world-class under Carrick.
  • United’s counter-attacking approach worked wonders against City and the Red Devils face a similar side at the Emirates Stadium.
  • Expect United to happily let Arsenal dominate possession, before breaking with pace and positivity on the counter.
  • Arsenal’s success this season has been based on set-piece goals, but Harry Maguire and the rest of the United defence can handle that threat.

Why We’re Backing Man United to Win 2-1 @ 20/1 with Bet365

  • Arsenal were on Champions League duty in Italy on Tuesday night, while United have not played since beating City.
  • The fresher legs of United could prove decisive in what should be a tight, tense encounter.
  • Bruno Fernandes can inspire some explosive transition from defence to attack for United, who will probably load their flanks with pace.
  • United seem likely to sit deep and soak up pressure before looking for gaps in the Arsenal defence on the counter.
  • Matheus Cunha could be deployed as a false number nine, with Arsenal’s muscular defence well equipped to contain Benjamin Sesko.
  • Arsenal have failed to score in only one home game this season, so correct-score punters should be mindful of this.

Arsenal Form/Stats

  • Arsenal have gone 12 games unbeaten in all competitions.
  • The Gunners are unbeaten at the Emirates Stadium this season.

Manchester United Form/Stats

  • Manchester United have lost just one of their last six games.
  • The Red Devils have gone seven consecutive games without scoring more than twice in a match.

Player to Watch

Kobbie Mainoo could be the key to Manchester United’s hopes of getting back into the Champions League. The dynamic 20-year-old midfielder made a barnstorming return to the first team last Saturday and appears to have the faith of new manager Michael Carrick.

Mainoo should dovetail well with 33-year-old Brazilian Casemiro at the heart of the United midfield in what could be a dreamy combination of youth and experience.

Expect Mainoo to show his class again and get back into the England side in the months to come.
