Fret not you have not been teleported during your sleep to the mid-2000s when Arsenal and Manchester United were duking it out for the top spot of the Premier league. It is merely history repeating itself. At the time of writing, this match is precariously poised with the Red Devils on a 4-win streak and Arsenal going unbeaten since their last loss in September, which happens to be against United.

The Important Stats
The first piece of information that will help us place the informed bets we are looking to place is the odds of who will win, lose or draw the match. As the match is almost two weeks out from the time of writing, there may be some changes in the exact odds posted here, but this is just to give you a base to work from when placing bets.
Arsenal is still tipped as favourites to be crowned the victors after 90 minutes, as the odds are currently sitting at 10/11. The Red Devils are sitting at 14/5 odds to be winners, which is a riskier bet but could pay off big time if the Reds pull off the win. The odds of a draw sit at 13/5, meaning that bookies aren’t expecting this to end as a draw, nor are they expecting Manchester united to pull off a victory.
Arsenal Stats
As briefly stated earlier, Arsenal has been unbeaten Since September 2022, which translates to 9 wins and only 2 draws. However, what makes these stats interesting is the second draw was Arsenal’s last match in the premier league at the time of writing, and their last loss was against the very opponents they are facing off against in this match.
Manchester United Stats
The Red Devils have a positive track record over their past 5 matches, with wins on the trot at the time of writing. It is worth noting that they have the hotly anticipated Manchester Derby between now and the Arsenal clash, which may hold sway on their morale, and of course, injuries could have a role to play as well. United does have two losses recorded during the same amount of time that Arsenal has gone undefeated, which is why Arsenal are tipped as favourites due to their relentless consistency in winning.
Head-to-Head stats
Against Machester United directly Arsenal’s track record speaks for itself as out of the 237 times the two clubs have met Arsenal has clinched the honours 86 times compared to United’s 101 victories. However, this is throughout the entire history of the two clubs meeting.
More recently, out of the last 10 Premier League clashes Arsenal has won 4 of their encounters and lost 3 with the remaining 3 being draws. Baking the bookie’s odds even further.
If we drill down even further we see that the Gunners also have a stellar home record against the Reds as it sits at a healthy 67.1% which equates to 61 wins to 29 losses and 20 draws. Another fascinating stat is 3 of 4 of Arsenal’s victories over Man-U in the past Premier League match ups were at the Gunner’s homestead as well as one of the draws.
Conclusion
All signs on paper seem to be pointing to a Gunners victory, so a “safe bet” would be placed on them. However, remember as the legendary Leo Beenhakker once said “Football is not played on paper.” Furthermore, Manchester United are not to be taken lightly. Look no further than the club’s consistency of finishing in the top 6 of the world’s most competitive league table in spite of being in the team’s “worst era” simply because they haven’t won the league since the 2012/2013 season.
