Arsenal Betting Preview
Arsenal is having quite the season and they currently sit in 1st place in the standings having picked up 47 points. Last Sunday, Arsenal faced off against Tottenham, and they were able to secure a 2-0 victory. They scored two goals in the first 36 minutes and that was the difference as they got the job done. Arsenal had 49 percent of the possession and five shots on target on the way to the victory. Arsenal will also be keeping a close eye on the score of the Manchester City game who are chasing them for the number one spot. Gabriel Jesus is still dealing with a knee injury and he will be out for at least the next couple of weeks. Reiss Nelson is still dealing with a hamstring injury and it doesn’t look like he’s going to be ready to go in this game.
Manchester United Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup is Manchester United who sits in 3rd place in the standings having picked up 39 points. On Wednesday, Manchester United faced off against Crystal Palace, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Bruno Fernades scored in the 44th minute and Manchester United looked to be in good shape. The defense had a breakdown late though and gave up a goal in the 91st minute. Manchester United had 61 percent of the possession and four shots on target. Casemiro picked up his fight yellow card in the last game and he’s going to be suspended for this game. Diogo Dalot and Anthony Martial are both still dealing with injuries and it’s unclear if they are going to be able to go in this game.
Shane’s Free Pick
Not having Casemiro is a big loss for Manchester United, and their defense is going to really suffer without him. Look for Arsenal to score two or three goals here, and their defense is going to lockdown the Manchester United offense. This is going to be a comfortable victory for Arsenal. Back Arsenal on the money line.
