Leading the Premier League title race by seven points entering the weekend, Arsenal hope to reaffirm their standing atop the standings as they host Manchester United on Sunday at The Emirates.
The Gunners have been held to draws in each of their last two league matches, but Man City have not been able to catch them or make up the gap, having failed to win any of their last four of their own. Aston Villa are also in the hunt, level on points with Man City, but have also slipped in their last two games.
United, meanwhile, are up to fifth in the table despite the upheaval in the managerial role. With Ruben Amorim sacked and Michael Carrick installed as interim boss for the rest of the season, the Red Devils have maintained an improved position as they seek a European place.
The Red Devis have not beaten Arsenal since 2022, a run of seven straight adverse results, and they have not won at the Emirates since a 3-1 win in the 2019 FA Cup.

Arsenal vs. Man United prediction, odds
- Moneyline lean: Arsenal (-180 on DraftKings)
- Score prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Man United
Despite the disruption at manager and drama in the front office, Man United have been surprisingly steady on the pitch this season compared to the last two years.
Yet Arsenal are a machine at home, especially defensively. It would be a true upset if the Red Devils were able to pick up a win, and while a point is achievable, it's simply not a winning strategy to back an Arsenal slip here.

Arsenal vs. Man United best bet
- Pick: Arsenal over 6.5 total corners
- Odds: -115 (DraftKings)
Mikel Arteta's desire to get his team in set piece positions is well documented at this point, which makes this muted corner threshold even more confusing.
While Arsenal only collected four corners against Man United the last time they faced off, they combined for 34 over the previous three games against the Red Devils. The Gunners have gone over this total in all of the last six matches against United barring their last meeting, so it's clearly a part of their game plan in beating the Red Devils.
Arsenal vs. Man United prop bet
- Pick: Viktor Gyokeres anytime goal scorer
- Odds: +185 (DraftKings)
Of Arsenal's last five goals against Manchester United, none have been scored by forwards, with four coming from defenders and one by a midfielder. While that's not shocking given Mikel Arteta's propensity for drawing up successful set pieces, it's still a fluky trend that should come to an end soon.
While it's been ages since Gyokeres has scored in the Premier League, with his only league goal since the start of December coming just before Christmas, he has scored in each of Arsenal's last two games, one in the Carabao Cup and one in the Champions League.
The 27-year-old is finally beginning to find a stride at the front of the Gunners' attack, and it should translate to league form soon.
