Arsenal vs Manchester United Prediction: Should we expect a win for home team and a total over?

In the central match of the fourth round of the championship of England Arsenal will face Manchester United. This game will start on September 3. In the previous campaign, the duel in the capital turned out to be exciting. Should we expect a win for Arteta's team and a total over?

Arsenal started the season of the English Premier League with a difficult home game against Nottingham Forest; the team did not, without problems, keep the winning score 2:1. Away, they achieved a minimal advantage over Crystal Palace 1:0, playing in ten men after the suspension of Tomiyasu. In the third round, Arsenal lost two points - at home, the Londoners played a draw with Fulham 2:2, which ended the game in the minority. With seven points, Arsenal is in fifth place in the EPL standings.

Manchester United's first victory in the EPL season also came very hard to them. In the first round, the team beat Wolverhampton thanks to a late goal by Raphael Varane. The following weekend, the Mancunians did not realize many chances against Tottenham and made two mistakes in defense - defeat with a score of 0:2. In the third round, MU beat Nottingham Forest with a score of 3:2. With six points, United took the eighth position in the English championship table.

Red Devils is waiting for a tough match at the Emirates. Varane, Shaw - in defense, Mount and Mainoo - in the center of the field will not help the guests in the upcoming game, and the debut of Højlund, who was acquired from Atalanta for a huge amount of money, is still in doubt. The situation with injuries is better in the home team's location; Mikel Arteta can release the best performers on the field. MU is still very far from the best form. So far, the Dutch specialist has had a terrible series of away performances against the top representatives of the EPL. We believe that United is not ready to compete on equal terms with Arsenal at the Emirates; the hosts will put pressure on the left flank of the defense, where they will play Dalot. We suggest betting on Arsenal's victory in a productive encounter.
