Manchester United – Arsenal Prediction and Preview

In one of the most classic matchups in the English Premier League, we bring you our Manchester United – Arsenal prediction and preview for this Sunday, March 10th. Arsenal battles Man U on their own pitch. Can they take down their biggest rival? Or, will Manchester United continue to climb the EPL Standings with another victory as part of their current hot streak?  Here’s how I see the match shaping up: 
  • When: Sunday, March 10th at 11:30am ET
  • Where: Emirates Stadium, Holloway, London, UK
  • TV: NBCSN
  • Live Stream: NBCSports.com
  • Moneyline Odds: Arsenal +128, Manchester United +192, Draw +233
  • Over/Under Total Odds: O 2 ½ -145, U 2 ½ +125

Why Arsenal at +128?

With 17 wins, 6 draws, and 6 losses, Arsenal’s got 57 points in the EPL Standings. The Gunners are only a point behind Manchester United, though, which makes this battle ultra-important.

Arsenal’s been in excellent form at home, winning their last 10. If they had to battle Manchester United on the road, they might be a play against, but in Emirates Stadium, Arsenal is close to unbeatable. They should also be up for this game since it’s against Manchester United, whom many consider the New England Patriots of soccer.

Team Statistics Last Ten

  • Goals: 18-9
  • U/O 2.5: 5-5
  • Clean Sheets: 3
  • Not Scored: 2
  • Form: Draw, 3-Wins, Loss, Win, Loss, 2-Wins, Loss
  • Home Form: 10-Wins

Why Manchester United at +192?

Few teams in any league are in as good form as Man U. The most valuable sports franchise in any sports league in the world has 4 wins and a draw in their last 5 matches.

Before the streak, Manchester United had lost to Paris St-Germain in the Champions League. They gained revenge on PSG with a 3-1 victory in the second leg earlier this week. Man U moves on because they scored more away goals than PSG did. The draw happened versus top EPL team Liverpool. Manchester United is on fire right now and should continue burning bright on Sunday.

English Premier League Betting Trends for Arsenal vs Manchester United

  • Arsenal is 3-1-1 in their last 5 games
  • Arsenal is 10-0 in their last 10 home games
  • Manchester United is 4-1-0 in their last 5 games
  • Manchester United has outscored their last 3 opponents 9-4

And the Pick Is?

Arsenal has been on a great home win streak, and they are more than ready for this match. Man U dominated Paris St-Germain this week with a ton of injuries and perhaps this took an emotional toll on them. Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford had to carry the scoring load, which they did.

How big of an upset win was it? Man U offered over +500 odds to just beat PSG, much less knock them out of the Champions League. While Man U was dominating PSG, Arsenal lost to Stade Rennes 1-3 in the Europa League.

That sets up a nice bounceback win opportunity for Arsenal and a possible letdown for Man U.  I like Arsenal +137
