  • Manchester United have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their home matches.

Manchester United form and stats

Manchester United have collected 7 points from their Premier League home games so far after 2-1-3. We have seen two home losses in a row now for United, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Manchester United shared the glory with Chelsea in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. The forward Jadon Sancho won the honour of being "man of the match" for United with a rating of 7.3/10. Sancho scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

In the game before, an away victory in the Champions League match versus Villarreal with a 2-0 scoreline.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does United handle that role? We have found three games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are zero wins, one draw and two defeats.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League game versus Crystal Palace in only three days. This game is also played here at Old Trafford.

A decent goal production from United in their home games so far, with 10 goals from 6 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 11 goals have been conceded.

Arsenal form and stats

The visitors are W2-D1-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.

The supporters enjoyed Arsenal's previous game versus Newcastle United (placed 20th), a Premier League 2-0 win played at home. Defender Takehiro Tomiyasu was the best team player with a rating of 8.63. Tomiyasu served one assist, hit three key passes and won 7 of 10 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Liverpool wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.

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, zero draws and one defeat. From a total of three matches.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Arsenal manager M. Arteta Amatriain as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Everton.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Arsenal's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 6 matches. In the opposite end, Arsenal have conceded 11 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

United-Arsenal H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Manchester United three wins, Arsenal four wins, three draws. four of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
