Arsenal vs Manchester Utd Prediction & Betting Tips (4 December)

Close to the title in the two previous years, Arsenal had legitimate ambitions this season. Unfortunately, the London team occupies 2nd place in the Premier League with already a significant outlay of 9 points on leader Liverpool. The Gunners can regret a slump of 4 matches without success, 2 draws and 2 defeats. On the other hand, they have regained good fuel since the return from the international break in November. Arsenal regained their offensive momentum to beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 and West Ham last weekend 2-5. Only 9th in the Premier League with 4 points behind the Big 4, Manchester United had a sluggish start to the championship.

The poor results led to the dismissal of coach Erik ten Hag at the end of October. The Red Devils, however, have made a better impression since. Under caretaker Ruud Van Nistelrooy, they held off Chelsea 1-1 before beating Leicester 3-0. During the international break, Portuguese technician Ruben Amorim took up his duties. Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw at relegation-placed Ipswich and then easily dominated Everton last weekend 4-0.

Arsenal remain without important full-back White and replacement defender Tomiyasu due to injuries. Otherwise, Mikel Arteta can count on his entire squad. Recently returned from injury, the captain has already regained his influence in the Gunners' game with 1 goal and 2 assists in the last 3 days. Forwards Saka (5 goals and 10 assists in PL), Havertz (5 goals in PL) and Trossard (3 goals in PL) also found the net against West Ham. Winger Martinelli (3 goals and 2 assists in PL) remained on the bench. Manchester United must still do without defenders Yoro and Lindelof, who have not sufficiently recovered from their physical problems.

In addition, the experienced Evans is announced as doubtful. Not at the level at the start of the season, Marcus Rashford (4 goals in the PL) has regained color since the arrival on the bench of Ruben Amorim (3 goals in the last 2 days). Striker Zirkzee (3 goals in the PL) scored twice last weekend while his competitor Hojlund achieved the same performance in the Europa League. The other offensive players Diallo (5 assists in PL) and Bruno Fernandes (2 goals and 5 assists in PL) are available.
