Man Utd v Arsenal: Betting Preview
Arsenal head to Old Trafford on Monday night, where they'll take on Man Utd in what is set to be the most bet on Premier League fixture of this weekends football action.
Although bookmakers offer Man Utd as favourites, Ole Gunnar Solskaer’s side haven’t beaten the Gunners since April 2018 and it's all set to be an extremely close match.
Both sides could really benefit from taking all 3 points on Monday night, with Man Utd only sitting in 8th place, while Arsenal will be looking to hold on to their top 4 spot.
Results from the last 9 Premier League clashes involving Arsenal and Man Utd are identical.
The Gunners won the last time they met (2-0 at the Emirates), but both sides have taken 3 victories from the last 9 matches, with the other 3 fixtures ending in draws.
It's a difficult one to call, and although bookmakers odds suggest Man Utd will win, either side could take the 3 points, especially as neither side have looked convincing so far this season.
In the lead up to the Man Utd v Arsenal fixture, we've taken a look at both team’s recent performances, and any player injuries that could affect either managers match preparations.
Man Utd: Team News
Ole Gunnar Solskaer’s Man Utd seem to be having one of their worst Premier League seasons in quite a while, having only taken 8 points and 2 wins from their first 6 matches.
Man Utd had a fantastic start to their campaign with a 4-0 victory over Chelsea, but have struggled since then, only securing 1 other challenging victory against Leicester.
Their last outing saw them lose 2-0 to West Ham last Sunday, unfortunately Man Utd didn't play well at all, and just couldn’t seem to convert any opportunities into goals.
A win against Arsenal would be a perfect result for Man Utd, especially as they'll face the seemingly unstoppable juggernaut; Klopp's Liverpool in a couple of weeks time.
They really need to start putting some points on the board at this stage of the competition, because at the moment it would be very easy for them to fall into the bottom half of the table.
Unfortunately Solskaer also has a raft of injury worries to contend with.
Luke Shaw, Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Eric Bertrand Bailly are all injured and likely to miss the match against Arsenal on Monday night.
There's no reason why Man Utd would lose but if they don’t work hard and improve on their current form, Arsenal could come away from Old Trafford with a rare victory!
Man Utd: Form
Looking at the last 5 fixtures that Man Utd have played in all competitions, they've won 2, drawn 2, and lost 1 scoring just 4 goals (0.8 goals per game) but also conceding just 4 times.

Arsenal: Team News
Arsenal are having a much better season than Man Utd so far, yet they remain bookmakers underdogs for Monday nights match, perhaps simply due to Man Utd's home advantage.
Unai Emery’s side are currently sitting in 4th place on the league table with 11 points, and they really need a win against Utd, as their 4th place position isn’t very secure.
They're currently on the same points tally as 3rd place Leicester and 5th place West Ham.
The Gunners had a strong start to their Premier League campaign, winning their 2 opening matches, but they then struggled with a loss and 2 draws.
Their last match was against Aston Villa last Monday night, and although they took 3 points after a 3-2 victory, it wasn’t an easy win as they lost Maitland-Niles to a red card early in the game.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the winning goal in the 84th minute, as a 10-man Arsenal side came from behind after Calum Chambers scored an 81st minute equaliser for Villa.
Emery has a few injuries to deal with, as Hector Bellerin, Kieran Tierney and Konstantinos Mavropanos are all set to be ruled out for the trip to Manchester.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles was handed a suspension after he was sent off for receiving 2 yellow cards against Villa and so he won't feature for Arsenal either.
Bookmakers offer the Gunners as slight underdogs for the match, but if they work hard, they could leave Old Trafford with an away win and 3 points given Man Utd's current poor form.
Arsenal: Form
Arsenal's record over their last 5 matches in all competitions is won 3, drawn 2 and not lost. They've scored more goals than Man Utd, 15 in total (3 per game) but conceded more (6).

Man Utd v Arsenal - 19/11/2016
The Premier League returns after the International break, and what a game to kick off with! Man Utd vs Arsenal often results in epic games, and Saturday’s shouldn’t be any different.
Jose Mourinho has never lost a Premier League game against Arsenal, and Wenger will be desperate to secure his first competitive win against the Man Utd manager.
Man Utd host rivals Arsenal this Saturday at Old Trafford, in what’s set to be one of the biggest clashes of the season with online bookmakers offering Man Utd as favourites to win.
Although bookmakers offer them as favourites, they haven't been playing that well and in-form Arsenal, who have only lost 1 game so far, will be a tough team to beat.
In fact Man Utd have only won 5 games so far this season, currently sit in 6th place, 8 points below league leaders Liverpool and really need the points to keep up with the pack.
3 of the last 7 Premier League games between Man Utd and Arsenal have ended in draws, with the last draw being played out at Old Trafford back in May 2015.
This is probably going to be a close game, and if you think a draw is on the cards for this fixture, William Hill offers best odds on the result at 23/10.
The Man Utd vs Arsenal game is being shown live on Sky Sports 1 at 12:30 on Sunday 19th November, and is the match to bet on this weekend if you fancy a flutter.
Man Utd
If you agree with the bookmakers and can see Man Utd winning, Bet365 offers best odds at 6/4.
Man Utd's last match saw them win 3-0 against Swansea, but it was their first win in 5 Premier League games, and Mourinho’s men need to put a decent run together - starting with Arsenal.
It's easy to see why they're favourites to secure a home win, as they've only lost 1 of their last 10 matches against Arsenal, and they could add to that tally if they're on form.
Mourinho is still trying to figure out his best team, and Pogba still has to show he was worth the world-record fee the Red Devils paid for him to join the club.
Although Mourinho has been struggling since his move to Man Utd, he has an unbeaten record in league games against Wenger, and will be hoping this continues on Saturday.
Arsenal
If you’re betting on Wenger finally beating Mourinho and Arsenal winning, SkyBet offers best odds at 9/5. Arsenal are having a much stronger season, losing only 1 game so far.
Wegner’s men are currently sitting in 4th place, just 2 points behind league leaders Liverpool and a win against Man Utd could see them take the top spot.
Unfortunately Arsenal don’t have the best record against Man Utd, and have gone over 10 years without registering a victory over the team at Old Trafford.
Wegner’s men have lost 22 times against Man Utd in the history of the Premier League, with 15 of those matches having been played at Old Trafford.
Although Man Utd are favourites, Arsenal look strong and could easily beat them on the day.
Wegner has brought some new players to the team, with signings such as Shkodran Mustafi and Granit Xhaka, however they have a few injury concerns.
Sanchez is the biggest question mark for Wegner, but he looks set to return for Saturday’s line up, while Welbeck, Mertesacker, Akpom, Perez, Bellerin and Cazorla are out.
