Arsenal vs Manchester United: Preview

Form

After a few underwhelming matches, Arsenal have steadied their ship. Under Arteta’s keen eyes, the Gunners have strung up a four-game unbeaten streak in all competitions, winning three of those matches. The North London powerhouse has scored a whopping 10 goals in their last two games.

On November 26, they claimed a thumping 5-1 win over Sporting CP in the UEFA Champions League. Then, on Saturday (November 30), the Gunners came away with a 5-2 victory away at West Ham United. The win over the Hammers saw them climb to second place in the Premier League rankings, with them now sitting nine points behind leaders Liverpool.

Manchester United, too, have been enjoying the sweet feeling of resurgence in recent weeks. After a dreadful start to the season under Erik ten Hag, Man Utd have finally discovered some solidity, with them now going seven games without defeat in all competitions, claiming five wins.

The Red Devils have played three matches under new permanent manager Amorim, picking up two wins and a draw. After opening his account with a 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town, Amorim has taken United to consecutive wins. United first beat Bodo/Glimt 3-2 in the UEFA Europa League before picking up a thumping 4-0 victory over Everton in the Premier League.

United now sits in ninth place in the rankings, six points behind Arsenal.
