Manchester United vs Arsenal Preview

The Red Devils are coming off a 1-1 draw in their Europa League round of 16 opening leg against Real Sociedad, as Joshua Zirkzee’s effort was cancelled out by Mikel Oyarzabal’s penalty.

Ruben Amorim’s time as Manchester United manager has been rather underwhelming, exiting both cup competitions and dropping to 14th in the Premier League.

United have won just two of their last six matches in England’s top-flight and are heavy underdogs on UK betting sites going into Sunday’s clash against Arsenal.

Speaking of Arsenal, their performance in Europe was far more decisive as the Gunners became the first team to score seven goals in a Champions League knockout tie – beating PSV 7-1.

Mikel Arteta’s side are looking to maintain their title charge at Old Trafford, as the red half of north London are currently second and 13 points off table-topping Liverpool.

These two Premier League giants have met twice this season, with United winning by penalties in the FA Cup and the Gunners winning 2-0 in the reverse Premier League fixture.

The hosts will be without a host of key players, as Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Mason Mount and Luke Shaw are all set to miss the remainder of the season.

Harry Maguire and Manuel Ugarte miss Sunday’s clash – while Patrick Dorgu is suspended for his red card challenge against Ipswich.

As for Arsenal, Bukayo Saka is almost ready to feature in the matchday squad after a lengthy absence but this match comes too soon for the Gunners star.

Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Gabriel Martinelli are also out through injury – meaning Mikel Arteta will call upon his academy prospects once again.
