Arsenal will be aiming to end their two-game winless run in the Premier League when they host Manchester United. The Gunners have been one of the most consistent sides this season and are widely regarded as the favourites to claim the league title. However, back-to-back draws in recent weeks have prevented them from extending their lead at the top, costing them the chance to pull 11 points clear.
In Europe, Arsenal continue to impress. Their midweek Champions League victory secured a place in the last 16, reinforcing the club’s credentials on the continental stage. While the league remains the primary target for many supporters, the club’s strong form across competitions demonstrates its overall quality and depth. Fans remain optimistic that the team can maintain its momentum and challenge for the crown until the end of the campaign.
Manchester United pose a challenge
Manchester United enter this fixture with renewed confidence following Michael Carrick’s appointment as manager. He led the Red Devils to a notable win over Manchester City in his first match in charge, giving the squad a psychological boost. Unlike Arsenal, United did not face a midweek commitment, which means their players will be fresher and potentially more energetic for the encounter at the Emirates Stadium.
Despite that advantage, success will not come easily for the visitors. Arsenal have been formidable at home throughout the season, and United must navigate both the quality and intensity of the Gunners’ attack. Previous encounters have shown that matches between these sides can be tightly contested; United defeated Arsenal on penalties the last time they visited the Emirates, indicating the fine margins involved.

Arsenal favourites at the Emirates
While this is expected to be a closely fought game, Arsenal are likely to have the edge. Their home form has been outstanding, and the squad has shown resilience in responding to setbacks. With determination to return to winning ways in the league and maintain their title push, the Gunners are expected to find a way to claim all three points. This clash promises to be competitive, but Arsenal’s quality and consistency at the Emirates make them favourites to emerge victorious.
Prediction
Arsenal 3-1 Man Utd
