Football Park's Best Bets | Free Multi Bet Tips - Arsenal vs Man Utd Bet Builder Tips and Predictions

Super Sunday is on the horizon once again, and with it, one of the Premier League’s all-time great rivalries, as top-of-the-table Arsenal take on a Manchester United side on a wave of confidence after starting the Michael Carrick era with a stunning 2-0 win over local rivals Man City.

Despite a hiccup against Nottingham Forest last weekend, the Gunners regained their balance with a controlled, professional 3-1 win at the San Siro against Inter Milan on Tuesday, a fine result which both secured them an automatic spot in the last 16 and leaves them needing just a point to finish top of the UCL table.

While all the midweek action was going on, the Man United squad had ample time to rest and recharge ahead of this crunch fixture, with the eight-day break a welcome respite from the hectic Christmas period which saw matches scheduled every three to four days.

However, while they may be fresher, United have an uphill climb ahead of them - the Red Devils haven’t completed a 90-minute victory over the London side since September 2022 and have gone seven competitive meetings since without being able to find a winner in normal time.

They did defeat Arsenal in an FA Cup penalty shootout at the Emirates last season, a bright spot in what was otherwise a dire season, but their record speaks for itself. Carrick will need to inspire a complete performance to come away from Arsenal's imperious home ground this Sunday.

Why We Are Backing This Bet?

Low Risk

Arsenal Win Again: Aside from their surprise draw away to Nottingham Forest and a share of the points at Anfield earlier this month, the Gunners’ recent record has been largely flawless - of the seven Premier League games they have played since losing to Aston Villa in early December, they have emerged victorious from five.

Mikel Arteta’s side look like an irresistible force at the moment - with one foot in the Carabao Cup final after beating Chelsea away, breezing through the early rounds of the FA Cup, and into the UCL knockouts with a game to spare, they are operating at an insanely high level, a level which Man United are unlikely to match.

Over 1.5 Goals: Though Arsenal’s last two Premier League games have ended in 0-0 draws, this is very much an exception rather than a rule. The Gunners are the second top scorers in the league, and a fragile United defence presents an excellent opportunity to find their Premier League scoring rhythm again.

As for United, only one of their last 10 games has ended with less than 1.5 goals (a 1-0 win over Newcastle), underlining the fact that when the Red Devils play, goals usually flow. Expect action in both goal mouths on Sunday afternoon.

Feeling Cornered: I’ve backed myself into a corner with this bet, as in five of their last six games, Arsenal and their opposition have comfortably cleared the 9.5 corners mark.

As a side that reigns supreme from set pieces, Arsenal have started actively playing for corner kicks, as often it presents them with better scoring opportunities than from open play. Expect them to employ the same tactic here against United.

High Risk

Even Stevens: Though Arsenal clearly have the majority of momentum going into this clash, it can’t be denied that United have been significantly boosted by their stunning performance against their city rivals. It was a clinic in counter-attacking, and given that Arteta’s side are likely to control much of the ball here, Carrick will most probably set the team up the same way.

Of course, it needs to be a special performance to breach such a formidable backline, but their domination of Man City indicated there is more than enough talent to pull off one or two shock results. They won’t win, but I can see United causing problems and stealing a point.

Viktor Goal-Keres: That may have been a terrible “Lewan-goal-ski” type pun, but there has been nothing terrible about the Swede’s recent performances. The striker has netted in two of his last three, finding the net at both Chelsea and Inter Milan, and is slowly looking more and more confident with each passing week.

Gabriel Jesus made a compelling case to start here after a brace over in Italy, but Gyokeres’ wonderful curler five minutes from time reminded everyone who the number one striker is at the Emirates, and given his recent scoring performances in high-stakes games, he should get the nod here to terrorise De Ligt, Yoro and Martinez.

Arsenal to Strike First: In eight of their last 10 fixtures, Arsenal have broken the deadlock - Arteta certainly knows how to get his side fired up from kick-off, and when they do take the lead, they do not lose it - in fact, they haven’t let a lead slip to a defeat yet this season.

United are up against it here - if they get the first goal, their odds of taking something away improve massively, but very few sides have shown themselves capable of dealing with Arsenal’s savage intensity in the early stages. Their high press and exceptional energy levels will force an early goal here.

Both Teams to Score: Having predicted both a draw and Viktor Gyokeres to score, I have to back a United goal here. They will be stuck in their own half for the majority of the match, and there will be no shortage of frustration when they fail to get out time and again, but patience is required.

Patience was what broke down Man City after all, and with excellent pace up front with Diallo, Mbeumo and Cunha, the Red Devils simply need to pick their moment. Their goal will come through one of the two wingers on a rapid breakaway.
