Many believe that Manchester United vs Arsenal is the first major test of Arteta’s Gunners team after a relatively easy opening set of fixtures.

It has beaten Crystal Palace, struggling Leicester, newly-promoted Bournemouth and Fulham, along with Aston Villa – that last win coming by 2-1 on Wednesday.

United, meanwhile, suffered a surprise 2-1 home defeat by Brighton on the opening day. 

And following that for new coach Erik Ten Hag, there was a 4-0 humiliation at Brentford.

However, there subsequently came a 2-1 defeat of arch-rivals Liverpool which ignited the season.

That has been followed by 1-0 defeats of Southampton and Leicester ahead of Manchester United vs Arsenal.

Manchester United vs Arsenal Prediction

With kick-off at 11:30 am ET on Sunday, DraftKings.com makes Manchester United a narrow favorite for a home win at +160.

United could hand a debut to their latest big signing, the Brazilian winger Antony who arrived this week from Ten Hag’s former club Ajax for £85 million.

The club has embarked on a major summer rebuilding job under its new boss.

Manchester United vs Arsenal Statistics

*Statistics from EPL 2022-23.

Other new arrivals include the vastly experienced defensive midfielder Casemiro from Real Madrid, center-back Lisandro Martinez – also from Ajax – and full-back Tyrell Malacia, who came from Feyenoord.

The superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has remained at Old Trafford despite seeking a move during the transfer window.

With three wins under his belt and the squad now shaped to his liking, this Manchester United vs Arsenal is being seen as the real potential lift-off for Ten Hag’s reign as coach.

Arsenal’s big summer signing Gabriel Jesus is already proving a hit after his £45 million move from Machester City – with three EPL goals already.

His fellow arrival from City, the full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko, has also settled in well.

Over/Under & Spread

With both teams in good form, the oddsmakers are expecting plenty of goals.

Therefore, the value is in the low-scoring option – with DraftKings offering +115 for there to be only two goals or fewer in Manchester United vs Arsenal. (TG Un2.5).

The last time Arsenal went to Old Trafford in their 6th game of the season, they went unbeaten and won the league.

Meanwhile, there is a good spread offer of +425 for Manchester United to win by two goals or more (Spread -1.5.)

Cristiano Ronaldo To Score Odds

Despite attempting to quit United last month, Cristiano Ronaldo is the joint favorite to get on the score-sheet first in Manchester United vs Arsenal at +350.

He is joined on those odds by Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus after his impressive start at his new club.

Look at the passion. This is the Lisandro Martinez effect since joining Man Utd.

The potential value here though is on Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli, who has scored three times this season but is priced at +700 to find the net first in Manchester United vs Arsenal.

Anthony Martial is United’s second-rated potential goal-getter at +500.

Manchester United versus Arsenal Pick

This is a significant fixture for both teams as they seek to lay down markers for the coming Autumn.

Upon his quick return to Manchester – where he played for City – Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus will be in the mood to make an impact. And he looks good value to be the first goalscorer at +350.

Pick: Gabriel Jesus +350 (First Goalscorer.)
