Arsenal take on the visitors Manchester United in the round 14 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 4th at Emirates Stadium (London).
Under Mikel Arteta, the Gunners have transformed into genuine title contenders, capable of significant achievements. Last season, they made their long-awaited return to the Champions League, only to be eliminated in the knockout stages by Bayern Munich. In the Premier League, they pushed Manchester City until the final matchday but ultimately fell short, finishing just two points behind the champions. This season started with promise, highlighted by a valiant effort to nearly defeat City away despite being down to ten men. However, mid-autumn brought a rough patch: four winless Premier League games and a loss to Inter in the Champions League. Even their win over Shakhtar at home relied on an own goal by Riznyk. After the international break, Arsenal regained momentum with a commanding win over Nottingham Forest. They followed this with emphatic 5-goal victories against Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League and West Ham in the league, signaling a return to form.

Manchester United Seems to be sacrificing this season. Under Erik ten Hag, Manchester United followed the familiar trajectory of post-Sir Alex Ferguson managers. Ten Hag enjoyed a strong start, securing a domestic cup and finishing 3rd in the Premier League during the 2022/2023 campaign. However, their return to the Champions League ended in disappointment, as they failed to outperform Galatasaray and Copenhagen, let alone Bayern Munich, in the group stage. Domestically, they’ve slumped to 8th place, although Ten Hag's FA Cup victory at the end of last season preserved his position. A major summer transfer spree aimed at reshaping the squad for his vision has yielded underwhelming results. Ruben Amorim was brought in to replace him, debuting with a lackluster 1-1 draw against Ipswich. Since then, there have been signs of improvement: a narrow 3-2 Europa League win over Bodø/Glimt and a resounding 4-0 victory over Everton last weekend. However, consistency remains a challenge for the Red Devils.
Since January of last year, Arsenal has defeated Manchester United in all three of their official encounters. Arsenal, in their current form, clearly appear to be the stronger team. Their attacking dynamism and recent high-scoring games demonstrate their potential to dominate this fixture. Manchester United, on the other hand, are still finding their feet under Amorim, and their away form remains unconvincing. The Gunners should secure the win, and backing them with a handicap of -1 goal seems like a solid bet.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with -1.0 handicap.
