Arsenal vs Manchester United Predictions, Preview, H2H Record, Predicted Line-ups

Arsenal vs Manchester United: Preview

Arsenal will be hosting their old rivals Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday after winning against the Saints earlier this week, while the title contenders saw defeat.

Mikel Arteta and co. went behind at St. Mary's but did not give up, and their mentality led to his side turning the game on its head, firing three goals, and not conceding any other after the first.

Arsenal have now won five of their last six Premier League games, while Manchester United missed a golden opportunity to go at the top again by beating the bottom-most placed Sheffield United.

However, the reality turned out to be different as the Blades were dominant in defending and hit the Red Devils on the counter, causing them a lot of trouble.

Arsenal vs Manchester United: Team News

Arsenal may have to see out another game without their skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabon international failed to provide clarity over his selection in this game and thus, Arteta stumbled too when asked whether he was in contention for the game or not.

Kieran Tierney, Thomas Partey, and Emile Smith Rowe are all doubts, while there is a huge chance that new loanee Martin Odegaard could feature too.

Manchester United have no injuries at the moment. The Lindelof-Maguire partnership is expected to be back, while there's a possibility that Eric Bailly may start too.
