Manchester United hosts Arsenal at Old Trafford in a match that has the Premier League on edge. Kickoff is set for 12:30 p.m. ET.
These types of matches tend to set aside the current form of both teams. That’s why I expect a thrilling game where either side could come away with the victory.
Here's my Manchester United vs. Arsenal prediction and EPL odds for today's match.

Manchester United Prediction
Manchester comes into this match after being eliminated from the FA Cup by Fulham in a penalty shootout, 5-4, following a 1-1 draw in regular time.
They then traveled to Spain, where they secured a crucial Europa League draw against Real Sociedad, thanks to a goal from Joshua Zirkzee.
The Red Devils have struggled in the Premier League this season. Currently sitting in 15th place, Ruben Amorim’s squad has managed to pull away from the relegation zone, and although it may seem far away, they're only 11 points away from the European qualification spots for next season.
Injuries and suspensions continue to pile up for Manchester United, particularly in defense. Left-back Patrick Dorgu will be unavailable for this match after receiving a red card in their 3-2 victory over Ipswich on Feb. 28.
Here’s the full list of Manchester United's unlisted players for this match:
- Harry Maguire – Injury (Questionable)
- Patrick Dorgu – Suspension (Sent off)
- Amad Diallo – Injury
- Lisandro Martínez – Injury
- Kobbie Mainoo – Injury
- Mason Mount – Injury
- Jonny Evans – Injury
- Luke Shaw – Injury
- Altay Bayindir – Injury
Arsenal Prediction
On the other side, Arsenal is experiencing a very different reality. Sitting second in the Premier League with 54 points, Mikel Arteta’s squad comes into this match after a dominant 7-1 victory over PSV in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16.
However, in domestic competition, the Gunners have struggled recently, following a goalless draw against Nottingham Forest and a 1-0 home defeat to West Ham.
While the title race seems like a distant dream at this point, this match presents a great opportunity for Arsenal to get back to winning ways in the Premier League and strengthen their position in the battle for Champions League qualification.
Manchester United vs. Arsenal Pick
Rivalries in soccer often disregard a team’s current form, and I see this Manchester United vs. Arsenal clash as one of those cases.
While I believe the Gunners will come out on top thanks to their strong momentum and recent Champions League thrashing, I expect a tightly contested match decided by a narrow margin.
Betting the over/under is always risky in these kinds of matchups. However, considering Manchester United’s defensive struggles due to key absences, I don’t see Arsenal having too much trouble finding the back of the net.
That’s why the best bet for this match is Arsenal ML & over 1.5 goals.
Manchester United vs. Arsenal Pick: Arsenal ML + Over 1.5 Goals (+125) — DraftKings
