Old Trafford is set to host a blockbuster encounter as Manchester United welcome Arsenal in a high-voltage Premier League match. Man United and Arsenal are two of the most historical clubs in the league. However, the two teams have been without a league title for a long long time.
For the last few seasons, Arsenal have been chasing for the title under Mikel Arteta and have become one of the title contenders along with Liverpool and Manchester City. But still, they are far away from the top of the point table. Manchester United, on the other hand, are in a vulnerable stage and their hopes for the top four are almost over. Yet the Red Devils will give everything tomorrow when they welcome the Gunners at Old Trafford.

Prediction: Man United 1-2 Arsenal
Manchester United have won only one of their last five games across all competitions. They are pretty inconsistent and have injury crises. Moreover, the recent records of Man United against Arsenal are below average. This is why we expect Arsenal to win this match. But this game will not be an easy one for the Gunners as their opponent will have massive support from the gallery.
