Premier League 2023-24: Matchday 37, Manchester United (MUN) vs Arsenal (ARS) Match Preview

Arsenal will most likely have to play catch-up in the Premier League title chase when they visit Manchester United on Sunday afternoon. The two great old rivals have been heading in opposite directions recently, with Arsenal maintaining their reputation as title contenders and United on track to record their most disappointing English Premier League campaign ever after showing great potential under Erik ten Hag during 2022/23.

The Red Devils have been horrible, with their latest 4-0 beating at Crystal Palace representing just one of countless humiliations endured throughout Ten Hag's two-year charge. However there have been some mitigating variables this season, it appears like the Dutch coach's fate is sealed.

Manchester United vs Arsenal : Prediction

United have been extremely terrible, and they are so tactically stupid that it is untrue, whereas Arsenal, with their excellent structure, should be able to produce opportunities at will. However, this is an unusual time of year in which strange things occur. Arsenal will be under a lot of strain, especially if Manchester City defeats Fulham.

The Gunners have yet to wilt, however this could possibly be the time. United have a lot to prove following their humiliation at Palace, and they'll be looking to apologise in front of the Old Trafford crowd with a strong performance against their former rivals on Sunday.
