Football prediction Arsenal vs Man Utd
Arsenal have 7 points after the first 3 rounds, while Man Utd are only one point behind. However, the performance of the two teams is clearly different. Arsenal still maintains stability with the style of play that was established last season. Meanwhile, the points that Man Utd have got do not come from convincing victories.
Arsenal face Man Utd at home.
Arsenal have not played badly in the first matches of the season. However, the Gunners need to fine-tune a few links to operate the game as desired. Jurrien Timber's serious injury significantly affects coach Mikel Arteta's calculations. Kai Havertz and Declan Rice need more time to create harmony with their teammates.
On the other side of the front line, Man Utd did not create a sense of security in all 3 lines. They had to rush to recruit Sergio Reguillon and Sofyan Amrabat on the last day of the transfer window.
Injuries to Raphael Varane and Luke Shaw have left the Red Devils' defence vulnerable. Meanwhile, in attack, the option of using Marcus Rashford as a centre-forward has been ineffective. New signing Rasmus Hojlund has recovered from injury, but is unlikely to play and it is difficult to expect an explosive performance from this striker if he plays in his debut match.
Man Utd have not had good results in recent visits to the Emirates Stadium. The Red Devils have lost all four of their last away games against Arsenal. However, in their most recent encounter - a pre-season friendly - Man Utd were the winners.
