Arsenal vs Manchester United preview
Arsenal can do no wrong in the Premier League title race. The Gunners are looking more like a champion with every match, and with their recent away win over Tottenham Hotspur, Mikel Arteta’s men find themselves with an eight-point lead at the top of the table. Arsenal fans would have been happy with a top-four finish at the start of the current season. However, what has transpired over the season is a testament to the work Areta has done with the squad.
Now they face the only team on the same level of form as them, Manchester United. Arsenal have an eight-point lead because United defeated their city rivals Manchester City 2-1 in their last match. United have been in top form since the end of the FIFA World Cup, winning four games, drawing one scoring ten and conceding just two goals. Like Arteta, Erik Ten Hag has also started getting the best out of his players.
Despite only having one player in the top 10 Premier League goal scorers, Arsenal have scored the second-most number of goals which shows that everyone across the team has contributed to the cause. Defence has been a significant concern at the club for years. However, this season, the team has finally found the perfect balance of keeping ten clean sheets and conceding the second-least goals in the entire league.
On the other hand, Manchester United look like a changed side post the World Cup, with every player executing his role to perfection. Their 2-1 win over City also showcased United’s mental resilience as they came back from a goal down to win. In addition, they also managed to stop the rampant Erling Haaland from scoring a goal at Old Trafford. However, Arsenal are a team loaded with multiple goal scorers, which will be a big challenge for United’s defence.
