Red Devils and Gunners to produce a close clash

On Wednesday night, Manchester United and Arsenal go head-to-head at Old Trafford, as the away side look to maintain their position in the Premier League’s top four.

Manchester United’s recent form in the Premier League has been inconsistent. The Red Devils have failed to win in three top-flight games, drawing their last two games, including last time out in a 2-2 draw at Southampton.

United’s poor recent league form has seen Jose Mourinho’s team slip to seventh place the table, eight points outside the Premier League’s top four.

The home side’s recent top-flight games have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight league outings.

United are unbeaten in four home games in the Premier League, having also recorded wins in five of their last eight matches. The Red Devils recent home matches in the top-flight have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight league games at Old Trafford.

Arsenal heads into this clash on the back of a 19-game unbeaten run in the Premier League. Last time out in the Premier League, the Gunners recorded a 4-2 victory over arch-rivals Tottenham in the north London derby. The win moved the Gunners above Spurs on goal difference and into the Champions League spots.

The visitor’s recent Premier League games have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven matches. Both teams have also scored in their last seven league outings.

Arsenal’s recent away form in the Premier League has been strong, as they are five games unbeaten, having recorded four wins and a draw. The Gunners recent away games have been high scoring of late on their travels, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last six matches.

Forebet predicts that this will be a tight encounter, finishing in a low scoring draw, which will not help either sides hopes of a top-four spot.
