Arsenal vs. Manchester United: Preview, recent form, odds, upcoming fixtures
Arsenal (Last 5 Premier League matches: WLDDL) lost a 2-1 heartbreaker to Chelsea over the weekend to drop to 12th in the table. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got the opening goal in Arsenal’s impressive first-half performance, but the defense gave up two late goals to absorb yet another defeat. The first goal came courtesy of Jorginho, who many thought should have been off for a second yellow, and the second goal was the result of a mistake from the much-maligned Shkodran Mustafi, who suffered a head-to-head collision just moments before. Yet the fact remains: Arsenal has now just one win in its last 12 Premier League matches. These are the dark times.
Manchester United (Last 5 Premier League matches: WDLWW) bounced up to fifth in the standings with a 2-0 win over Burnley. Anthony Martial, on a bit of a roll lately, scored the opener, with Marcus Rashford providing a late insurance goal in stoppage time. While it’s still a bit more of a climb to break into the top four, United only finds itself four points behind an inconsistent Chelsea squad heading into the New Year.
Odds
The William Hill oddsmakers call this one pretty even: Arsenal’s at +170 odds (wager $100 to win $170), United’s a slightly more favored foe at +150, and a draw is set for +260.
Upcoming Fixtures
Arsenal, Monday, Jan. 6 vs. Leeds United (FA Cup); Saturday, Jan. 11 at Crystal Palace (Premier League)
Manchester United, Saturday, Jan. 4 at Wolves (FA Cup); Tuesday, Jan. 7 vs. Manchester United (League Cup)
