The world will watch the fierce battle between Premier League rivals Arsenal (the Gunners) and Manchester United (the Red Devils).
Arsenal play host to Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium by 20:15 GMT, with Samuel Barrott as the match referee.
Arsenal will come into this match with decent form in 5 games: 3 games won, 1 draw, and 1 loss to Inter Milan in the Champions League.
They have scored a total of 14 goals and conceded 5 in just 5 matches. This puts them at an average of 2.8 goals scored and 1 goal conceded per match.
Manchester United will play as visitors with much better form than the home team in 5 games: 4 games won and 1 draw, with their last win recorded over the weekend in a 4-0 thrashing of Everton at Old Trafford.
They have scored 13 goals and conceded just 3 goals in 5 matches. Man Utd have an average of 2.6 goals scored and 0.6 goals conceded in 5 games.
For betting lovers, an interesting trend to take notice of is Arsenal hasn’t lost in their last 9 home matches in the Premier League, while Manchester United haven’t lost in their last 7 matches.
A few experts say Manchester United’s form is nothing but a quickie that won’t last, as the current team’s form is due to a football phenomenon called “new manager bounce.”
The home side is in 2nd place and nine points behind League Leaders Liverpool. They have a total of 25 points from 13 games. United are in 9th place with 19 points from 13 games too.
Earlier in the week, it was reported that Manchester United’s left back, Luke Shaw, had followed in the footsteps of his compatriot Recce James by returning to injury even after they had just recovered.
All eyes will be on the Gunner’s frontlines, consisting of Saka, Odegaard, and Martinelli, while Manchester will look to the hopes of Marcus Rashford, Hojlund, and Bruno Fernandes in the encounter.
Who do you think will edge in this fiery battle? Arsenal? or Manchester United?
