Why is Arsenal a safe bet to win?

Mikel Arteta’s squad has an 8-point lead over Man City, the preseason chalk to win the Premier. One of the reasons for Arsenal’s amazing ascension is Gabriel Jesus.

The former Sky Blues player won’t step onto the pitch in this due to injury. However, his absence hasn’t hurt Arsenal in recent matches.

The Gunners played fantastic soccer in their last, beating Harry Kane and Tottenham after Hotspur goalie Hugo Lloris scored an own goal at the fourteenth minute and Gunner Martin Odegaard sealed the deal with a goal at the thirty-sixth minute.

Possible Line-Up

• Ramsdale
• Saliba
• Magalhaes
• Zinchenko
• White
• Partey
• Xhaka
• Martinelli
• Saka
• Odegaard
• Nketiah

Why is Manchester United a safe bet to win?

Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag moved on from Cristiano Ronaldo and look at what has happened? ten Hag knew that Ronaldo was a distraction.

Since moving on from Cristiano, Man U has dominated. No victory in the last four was as sweet as taking down rival Manchester City in a 2-1 game.

Bruno Fernandes, who has emerged as United’s best player, scored a goal against the Sky Blues. So did Marcus Rashford. Rashford’s goal is huge.

Last season, rumblings emerged about whether the Red Devils should give up on Marcus. The fact ten Hag has stuck with Rashford, and it’s paid dividends, is a sign United is on the way back to prominence.

Possible Line-Up

• De Gea
• Wan-Bissaka
• Martinez
• Varane
• Shaw
• Casemiro
• Eriksen
• Antony
• Fernandes
• Rashford
• Weghorst

Arsenal vs. Manchester United Betting Prediction

The last two head-to-head matches were reworkings of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Arsenal won the match two-back, blasting United 3-1.

Then in the rematch, Man U got the 3-1 victory. Which team will win in the third battle between these two?

The contest happens on Arsenal’s pitch. So the Gunners, no doubt, have an edge. But before dropping dollars on Arsenal, it’s important to realize that United a) won the last head-to-head, and it wasn’t close and b) Rashford is playing like one of the top strikers in the Premier.

Not only that, but Jadon Sancho could return, bolstering United’s attack. No doubt, Bukayo Saka and Arsenal will be tough to keep from scoring any goals. But Man U is a different team now that Ronaldo is no longer on the squad. Backing the underdog on the moneyline makes sense.
