Match Preview
Arsenal is currently a defensive juggernaut under Mikel Arteta. They simply don’t give many chances away at the Emirates, conceding just 0.45 goals per home match. Still, after two goalless draws, the fans are desperate to see Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard find the net again today.
The Gunners' set piece dominance remains a massive weapon for them. They have already scored nineteen goals from corners this season, which is just insane. If the game stays tight, expect William Saliba or Gabriel to be the heroes from a deep cross or a corner kick.
Arteta has generally had the upper hand in these rivalries lately. He has won eight of his twelve league games against United. However, he won’t be underestimating Carrick, especially after seeing how United dismantled Manchester City last weekend. The Gunners must stay alert to avoid any quick counter attacks.
Manchester United arrives in London with renewed confidence under Michael Carrick. Their recent 2-0 win over City showed that the "United way" is back, focusing on clinical finishing and rapid breaks. Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu are in great form, ready to test Arsenal's elite backline.
The Red Devils lead the league in shots and shots on target, proving they aren't afraid to attack. Bruno Fernandes is the key man here, creating 3.4 chances per ninety minutes. If United can feed the ball to him in space, they could finally end their winless run.
That said, their away form has been a bit shaky this season. They concede an average of 1.73 goals on the road, which is a worry against a team like Arsenal. It will be a fascinating tactical battle where our experts provide Premier League Predictions for every single fan.
Manchester United interim coach Michael Carrick confirmed Matthijs de Ligt will miss Sunday’s clash at Arsenal due to a persistent back injury.

Following a victory over Manchester City, United remains firmly in the top-four hunt as they prepare for a difficult trip to North London to face Mikel Arteta’s side.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta prepares for a high-stakes Premier League clash against Michael Carrick's Manchester United at the Emirates.

Prediction
Over 23.5 Shots @1.57
Arsenal currently averages 16.36 shots per match when playing at the Emirates Stadium this season. They possess an incredibly offensive style that constantly puts pressure on the opposition goalkeeper. With players like Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard leading the line, the Gunners rarely hesitate to fire from distance. We expect them to dominate possession and generate a significant number of attempts throughout this ninety minute contest.
Manchester United also contributes heavily to this statistic by averaging 15.64 shots during their away fixtures. Since Michael Carrick took over, the Red Devils have focused on quick transitions and direct attacking play. They recently recorded eleven shots against Manchester City and will likely find space to counter at the Emirates. Combining both teams' offensive numbers suggests that reaching twenty four total shots is a very likely outcome.
