Arsene Wenger seeks revenge on United for the last time, while the Red Devils look to keep their grip on a second-place finish
After managing Arsenal for over 22 years, it’s safe to say that Arsene Wenger has seen his fair share of highs and lows when it comes to facing Manchester United. This season, however, Jose’s men seem to have the upper hand on the Gunners, who have really struggled to find a consistent run of form throughout the season.
It’s not a complete write off for the two teams though, as both still have some silverware to play for. United have secured their place in the FA Cup final, while Ozil and co. are still very much in with a chance of reaching the Europa League final after a 1-1 first-leg draw against Atletico Madrid in the semi-finals.
Looking back to the December fixture, it was United who managed to come out on top, controlling the game and beating a very deflated Arsenal side with ease (3-1). With the Europa League second leg also being in the back of Arsene’s mind you wouldn’t be surprised to see a similar result again. Get United to the double over Arsenal this season and win again 3-1 here at 10/1.
With only four games remaining in Wenger’s Premier League career, he has nothing left to lose and will be holding nothing back. Recording a win this Sunday against his biggest rivals of the past would not only allow him to get the final say in his career, but it would also be his 425th PL win.
There has been a total of 24 goals scored in both teams’ last six fixtures in this calendar year, showing that it could be a high scoring affair. Here we’ve detailed a few of the key players to look out for, who could make all the difference. Look no further for all your Premier League betting needs.
Alexandre Lacazette
Since returning from injury, the Gunners striker has started to hit some form, in a bid to try and keep his position ahead of Arsenal’s new addition Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The French international has four goals in his last four games, showing that he is more than capable of bagging another at Old Trafford. Get him to score first here at 8/1.
Aaron Ramsey
Seven goals and nine assists in this current campaign may not seem like standout stats, but when you consider that Ramsey has been injured for half the season, you realise just how good they are. On several occasions he has come up with the goods when it matters, and don’t rule him out to do so again.
Alexis Sanchez
Well, where do we even start…the Chilean has so far scored more goals for Arsenal this season than he has for Manchester United. Sanchez has struggled to establish himself under Jose, but after recently scoring the winner in the FA Cup semi-final, maybe things are about to change. Get him to score anytime and silence the jeers from away fans here at 6/5.
Chris Smalling
Over the past five games, the centre-back has turned from goal preventer to goal scorer, registering three very important goals against Crystal Palace, rivals Manchester City and Bournemouth. His presence both at the back and at offensive set-pieces has been unparalleled at the end of this season, making him a massive threat in this fixture. Another strong performance from the England international could see United through to the win at 4/9.
