Manchester United vs. Arsenal: Can Gunners maintain good record?

Clinching five wins in their five games of the season, Arsenal will meet the Red Devils in Old Trafford on Sunday.

The match comes as Manchester United are seeking to further boost their confidence by defeating a big rival. On August 22, they managed to attain a 2-1 victory against Liverpool which spurred two other back-to-back wins against Southampton and Leicester City.

Arsenal are the only side in the English league with maximum points. Their attacking line has proved dangerous, scoring 13 goals in the first five games. Experts believe Brazilian Gabriel Jesus has been able to transform the attacking force of the Gunners by scoring three goals and setting up three more. They have also been one of the best teams in the league so far in defense after Brighton, with conceding four goals only. Arsenal defenders have only allowed 12 shots on target.

As far as ball possession is concerned, the Gunners have registered a 6 percent edge so far which means they can take more control of the tempo in the match. Meanwhile, United have converted five goals in five matches which shows they will have a difficult task ahead of Arsenal.

Last year’s league meetings between the sides finished with the victory of the home sides.

Predicting the result of this match is certainly a tough task and those who want to try their chance and make a bid have challenging moments ahead. Although there are some other people who opt for enjoying the game and experiencing the bidding excitement in other casino games either in person or virtually as some may decide to play slots online instead.

Back to the Sunday game, Coach Ten Haag has been bold in rejuvenating the Red Devils as he decided to put Cristiano Ronaldo and captain Harry Maguire on the bench and open the path for younger talents such as Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho, and Marcus Rashford. Fernandes had a brilliant season before the arrival of CR7 with 18 goals and 12 assists but the return of the star to Old Trafford cut the opportunities for Fernandes.

This comes as CR7 may also be a good choice today as he has scored seven goals in his last eight games against Arsenal in all competitions. He found Arsenal’s net in both home and away matches last season.

Meanwhile, both teams will keep an eye on the health and readiness of their players as they want to compete in continental competitions on Thursday.

Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta said before the match “it is no surprise” that Manchester “are going to win a lot of football matches” because of their squad, “the players that they have signed the amount of money they have spent in the market”.

"The history of Manchester United tells you this is going to happen. They are a big rival, we know that and we are going to compete with them," he added in a pre-match press conference.

Ten Haag named Arsenal as a “tough opponent” in a pre-match press conference, noting that the Gunners have “started really well in the season.”

“You can see there is a team who are a long [time] together, with a coach who brings his philosophy in the team,” he said, adding, “So, this is a good test and I’m really looking forward to it.”
