Arsenal vs Manchester United - Premier League Preview and Odds

March 10, 2019 16:30pm - Emirates Stadium

Premier League

The battle for Champions League places continues on Sunday as fifth-ranked Arsenal look to wrestle fourth place away from visitors Manchester United when the two sides meet at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners will hope to bounce back from a disappointing 3-1 Europa League defeat away to Rennes in midweek by leapfrogging their fourth-ranked Premier League rivals. Unai Emery`s men are just a point behind Manchester United and four behind Tottenham Hotspur with the three sides set to battle it out for the final two champions League spots. A win would put the North Londoners back in the driving seat with just eight games left to play.

Arsenal have won their last eight Premier League home matches in a row and have not been beaten at the Emirates in the league since the opening day of the season when they fell 0-2 to league leaders Manchester City.

Meanwhile, Manchester United arrive in London in buoyant mood following their 3-1 Champions League triumph over Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night as their good form under caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer continues.

The Red Devils have won all six of their Premier League away matches since the Norwegian took over from Jose Mourinho in December, scoring 15 and conceding just two in the process. That run included a 1-0 win away to third-ranked Tottenham Hotspur.

Betting odds and tips

Manchester United have scored in every away game in the league this term while the Gunners have netted in their last 14 home games making the Both Teams to Score bet look worthwhile at a price of 8/15.

United prevailed 3-1 on their last visit in January`s FA Cup clash, but Arsenal start slight favourites here thanks to their strong home record in the league. However, United have incredible momentum on their side, arrive on the back of a big European win and have had an extra day`s rest.

What`s more, they welcome Paul Pogba back into the fold following his midweek suspension. As a result, they look good value at 2/1.

You can back Both Teams to Score at 8/15 and United to win at 2/1 or combine the two at a price of 4/1.
