These two returned to form over the past month, so it's hard to see this midweek Premier League clash between Arsenal and Manchester United being a disappointment.
Ruben Amorim injected enthusiasm into an underachieving lot and will look for his first big result since taking charge at United three weeks ago. Meanwhile, Arsenal wish to cut United's positive run short, as they still aim to trouble Liverpool at the top of the pack.
It's going to be tense and spectacular at the Emirates! Read my Arsenal vs. Manchester United predictions for Wednesday, December 4 to and find out why.
EPL predictions for Arsenal vs Manchester United
My best bet:
Arsenal team total Over 1.5 (-209 at TonyBet)
My analysis
Arsenal have netted 3+ goals in each of their last three official games. Martin Odegaard's return after injury proved influential and maximized Arsenal's attacking potential, as they struggled to get goals before the Norwegian became fit again.
Arsenal sit second in the Premier League rankings, only behind Liverpool, who are nine points clear at the top. So Arsenal can't avoid any slip if they don't want another season in a supporting role, as happened in 2022 and 2023 when Man City got the spotlight.
Manchester United have only conceded two goals in their last four Premier League encounters, but don't let that trick you. Their run was decent as of late, but they played inferior teams. Their trip to North London to face Arsenal will be the first real test in Amorim's tenure.
Looking at how things went recently between the two, note that Arsenal have won six of their last seven home games against United in all competitions. I'll avoid the moneyline and go for Arsenal Over 1.5 goals at -209 via TonyBet.
Judging by Arsenal's goalscoring potential and United's unresolved defensive issues, I see it valid to have the Gunners hitting the net more than once as my preferred option.
Arsenal vs Manchester United same-game parlay (SGP)
Arsenal team total Over 1.5
Over 10.5 corners
Martin Odegaard to record an assist
Arsenal averages just over six corners per game this season, with United slightly over five. It's not going to be a closed game, as both clubs will go after the three points. Action leads to events, and corners might play a very important role in this match.
Odegaard's comeback has fueled Arsenal's attacking displays. He contributed with one assist in each of the last three games Arsenal played before beating West Ham 5-2 at the weekend. In this last match, he managed to hit the net himself and set up countless attacks. He should return to directing from midfield to round out a nice +909 return.
