Mikel Arteta's team is in 5th position in the standings with 23 points. Arsenal chalked up seven wins, two draws, and four defeats in 13 matches. The Gunners played confidently in the last rounds, and this helped them get involved in the struggle for a place in the European competition zone. In the last five rounds, the Gunners have achieved four victories, failing only an away match against the more powerful and experienced Liverpool (4-0). On November 27, Arteta's men scored three points in the home game against Newcastle. Arsenal breached the visitors' defense twice in the 2nd half. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli aggrieved the goalkeeper of the Magpies.
In recent years, the Red Devils regularly lost points in head-to-head confrontations against the Gunners. Arsenal has not lost to the Mancunians in five games in a row. The last victory of Manchester United was back in January 2019 when these oppositions crossed paths in the fourth round of the FA Cup (3-1). Now the Red Devils and the Gunners are among the contenders for a spot in the Champions League zone. Their head-to-head match is of great importance since none of the teams want to give points to a direct competitor. For this reason, the upcoming game in Manchester is unlikely to be rich in goals. The history of previous head-to-head confrontations hints at a high probability of Under 2.5 goals scored. In the last five games, the Red Devils and the Gunners scored no more than two goals for two.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
