Manchester United form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Manchester United's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Old Trafford.

United are confident in defense, having played 189 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Manchester United enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Leicester City's place. The match ended 1-0 with Sancho scoring. Defender Dalot got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.62/10. Dalot hit one key pass and won 7 of 10 duels.

Before that match, a win away at Southampton.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Real Sociedad are coming to town in four days.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United has the goal stats of 3-3 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Arsenal form and stats

Arsenal are yet to lose a point on their Premier League travels this season with 2 wins from 2 away games. Arsenal have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of five victories in a row regardless of arena.

Jesus and Martinelli scored in Arsenal's previous match, the home game against Aston Villa that ended 2-1. Midfield player Martinelli was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.1/10. Martinelli scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 30 successful passes (of 36 total).

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Fulham.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Arsenal playing away and similar expectations, we found 6 relevant matches. Results were 2 Arsenal wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats.

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

Arsenal have the goal stats of 5-0 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Stats for the last ten meetings between these two sides are: three wins for Manchester United, three draws and four wins for Arsenal. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
