Summary:
The statistics bear that these teams are very similar numbers wise. Arsenal is the 4th best attacking team and 4th best defensive team whereas Manchester United is the 6th best attacking team and 8th best defensive team. Arsenal is (3-2-0) in their last five matches while Manchester United is (2-1-2). Arsenal is in phenomenal form having not lost since August 14th to Liverpool. This will likely be a closely contested game but I’m taking Arsenal on the road because they’re playing so well.
