Manchester United vs Arsenal Betting

• Date: Sunday 9th March 2025

• Where to Watch: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League

A few seasons ago, the premise of watching a clash between Manchester United and Arsenal would be mouthwatering for football fans around the world. However, in the modern game, with the team from Manchester sitting in the bottom half of the table, it's perhaps not as anticipated as people would hope.

While mathematically still possible, many experts would already say that Liverpool have virtually secured the title, with Arsenal sitting comfortably in second place, 6 points above Nottingham Forest at the time of writing. This means the London-based team will have little to play for, however, Mikel Arteta will still be eager to pick up another 3 points to prevent them from slipping down the table, should anything disastrous happen in the later stages of the season.

For Manchester United, they will be looking to avoid embarrassment and climb into the top half of the table for the 2024/25 season. They have never finished in the bottom 10 throughout the history of the Premier League, with 8th place being their lowest placement under Erik ten Hag in 2023/24.

On this page, we share a preview of the upcoming fixture between Manchester United and Arsenal, focusing on the head-to-head records and the predicted line ups of both teams. We also share our Premier League betting tips for the clash!

When it comes to the history of matches between Manchester United and Arsenal, they've always been relatively close, however, the London-based team have dominated the fixture in recent times. Here's a look at the scores from their last 10 meetings:

The 2024/25 season has already been a disappointing one for the Red Devils. However, their injury crisis could make things look a lot worse. Lisandro Martinez and Amad Diallo are both ruled out for the rest of the season while Patrick Dorgu will also miss the game due to suspension.

• Manchester United Predicted Line Up: Onana, De Ligt, Lindelof, Yoro, Dalot, Fernandes, Casemiro, Mazraoui, Zirkzee, Garnacho, Hojlund.

While this game isn't really a must-win for Arsenal any more, they will still be able to field a full-strength side knowing that they've all but solidified their spot in the Champions League quarter-finals.

• Arsenal Predicted Line Up: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Odegaard, Partey, Rice, Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard.

• Betting Tip 1: Arsenal To Win -1.5

Arsenal are seemingly back in form again, which was made evident with a 7 - 1 demolition of PSV in the Champions League earlier in the week. This will allow them to play with more confidence and a full-strength side against Manchester United, safe in the knowledge that they don't need to rest any players and focus on their Champions League clash next Wednesday.

Put simply, Arsenal is the better team right now, with their squad having much more depth than Manchester United's. With an impressive front three of Nwaneri, Merino, and Trossard running at United's rather weak defence, we think Arsenal will have no problem finding gaps and hitting the back of the net multiple times in 90 minutes.

It's also worth mentioning that at the time of writing, Arsenal have scored 18 more goals than the team from Manchester, which is just another reason why our first Premier League betting tip backs the Gunners to overcome the -1.5 handicap.

• Betting Tip 2: Arsenal To Score First

We've already touched on the prolific attacking force that Arsenal has and when combined with Manchester United's weak defence, we can see them opening the scoring in this Sunday's encounter.

In terms of Arsenal's defence, they're the strongest in the League currently, conceding only 23 goals in 27 different matches. They join Liverpool as the only two teams in the Premier League to have an average of less than 1 goal scored against them this season.

Last but not least, Manchester United have conceded first in 6 of their last 7 matches, showing that they're a team with the tendency to start slow, which could be one of the main reasons for their poor performance in the 2024/25 Premier League!
