Manchester United vs. Arsenal | Premier League match preview

The match between Manchester United and Arsenal has recently lost from its shine. It’s because of the crisis in The Red Devils since Sir Alex Ferguson left the position of Manchester United’s manager. However, it will always be one of the most interesting matches in The Premier League.

These two teams have met on 213 occasions! Manchester United have an advantage, as they have won 89 matches. The Gunners have recorded 75 victories, while there have been 49 draws. But, when The Red Devils are the hosts, they have a huge advantage against their opponents. The Red Devils have won 60 of 103 games at Old Trafford! And if you remember, Manchester United smashed Arsenal 8-2 just 4 years ago.

Now, Jose Mourinho’s players have still not found their best form and they are lying in 6th position in the standings, with 18 points in 11 games. The Gunners are in a very good shape. They secured their further participation in The Champions League this season. Moreover, they are just 2 points down from the first-placed Liverpool. So, both teams need desperately the 3 points.

To continue with, The Red Devils have won 7 of their last 10 home games against The Gunners. Arsenal have only won once in these matches. So, the task in front of Arsene Wenger’s players will be extremely difficult. The last game between these two teams finished with a 3-2 victory for Manchester United. The Red Devils young talent Marcus Rashford found the net twice in that match.

The last victory for Arsenal at Old Trafford was a year and a half ago in The FA Cup. The Gunners won 2-1 and eventually won the competition. Nacho Monreal and Danny Welbeck were the heroes for The Londoners. The last one is still injured and won’t take part in the match, but he is a player, who has played for both the teams and have scored against them!

Arsenal are on a run of 16 consecutive matches without a defeat in all competitions. The last time they lost was on the opening day of the season (3-4 to Liverpool at home). The Gunners have won 12 of these 16 matches, which goes to show the incredible performance they are showing. Furthermore, Manchester United are very hesitant from the beginning of the season. They have serious problems in The Europa League, where they have lost twice in 4 matches. Moreover, United have won 9 of their last 17 competitive games – not enough for such a club!
