Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score
We're backing goals in this game as each of the last three meetings between these two clubs have ended with over 2.5 goals being produced and both teams getting on the scoreboard. Over 2.5 Goals have been scored in three of Arsenal's and four of Man Utd's last five outings in league and cup, while both teams have scored in three of the visitor's last four fixtures and two of the Gunners' last four outings in the Premier League.
Martin Odegaard to Score
Odegaard has been Arsenal's star player this season and his form of late has been second to none. The Norway international has scored 8-goals in the Premier League this season making him Arsenal's top scorer in the league, and two of those goals have come in the club's last three league games. If anyone is going to score for Arsenal this weekend then Odegaard is the number-one choice.

How will the teams lineup on Sunday?
Arsenal
Arsenal secured a massive 3pts in the North London derby last weekend, defeating their local rivals Tottenham 2-0 in their own backyard. An own goal from Lloris in the 14th-minute put Arsenal 1-0 up and in the 36th-minute, Odegaard made it 2-0. Spurs had no answer in the second forty-five as Arteta's men took one step closer to the Premier League title. Jesus and Nelson are joined on the sidelines by Elneny but the Egyptian international just has a knock and could return to the side very soon.
Predicted Lineup – Ramsdale (GK), Gabriel, White, Saliba, Xhaka, Partey, Zinchenko, Ødegaard, Saka, Nketiah & Martinelli
Man Utd
Man Utd really should have secured all 3pts away at Crystal Palace in midweek but had to settle for a point in the end. Fernandes fired the visitors in front just before the break and United had chances to seal the result in the second half before Olise fired in an unstoppable free-kick in stoppage time to pinch a point for the home side. Casemiro picked up a silly yellow card in that game and is now suspended for the trip to Arsenal, while van de Beek, Martial, Sancho, Dalot and Tuanzebe could all miss out through injury.
Predicted Lineup – de Gea (GK), Varane, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Martínez, Eriksen, Fred, Fernandes, Weghorst, Rashford & Antony
Player to Watch: Bukayo Saka
If he's not scoring goals, he's creating them.
Arsenal's young English talent has a massive future ahead of him and he is already delivering the goods on a regular basis at the age of 21. We've picked out Saka as our player to watch this weekend as he is a player for the big occasion and they don't get much bigger than Arsenal vs Man Utd.
Saka has scored 6-goals in the Premier League this season and has chipped in with 7-assists, so stopping him will be one of the main targets for ten Hag's men this weekend. Saka has pace to burn and loves to run at the opposition with the ball, winning free-kicks and penalties on a regular basis. It won't be long before some of the European big boys make a move for Saka but as long as Arsenal can keep challenging for major honours, we're sure he will be quite happy where he is.
