Manchester United welcome Arsenal for another interesting Premier League fixture here at Old Trafford.
It's no vacation for neither Manchester nor Arsenal as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Manchester United form and stats
Manchester United have played three Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
The Manchester supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host RB Leipzig in Champions League and win 5-0. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Premier League home game that ended 0-0 versus Chelsea.
As indicated by the result mentioned above, Manchester played a great game against RB Leipzig and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. What a game it was for Marcus Rashford when beating RB Leipzig, applying the finishing touch to three goals!
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Manchester handle that role? We have found five games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are three wins, one draw and one defeat.
There will be little rest for Manchester United after this match as they are travelling to Istanbul Basaksehir for a Champions League game in only three days.
Manchester aren't scoring a lot here at Old Trafford in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Manchester United have allowed the opposition to score 9 goals here at Old Trafford. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Manchester have let the opposition score 9 times, an average of more than three per game.
Arsenal form and stats
Things could have gone better for Arsenal in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Arsenal has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
N. Pepe was the last player to score for the away team. Arsenal haven't scored a league goal in the last 206 minutes.
Arsenal go into this game after a win, the home game against Dundalk that ended 3-0. A loss against Leicester City was the result prior to that, in a Premier League home game.
Arsenal are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, two draws and one defeat. From a total of five matches.
A new game in only four days for Arsenal, the Europa League home match versus Molde. Busy days.
The visiting Arsenal have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 3 games. As opposed to that, Arsenal have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Manchester won four, Arsenal won three and three draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.Manchester United missing players
