Arsenal have shown amazing resilience in international matches, aiming to make it four in a row in a multi-front war. The team, which has beaten Manchester United on three occasions, will record four consecutive victories over United if they beat the Red Devils in today's match.
In their last match against Westham, Arsenal scored five goals in the first half and the game was out of reach early on. Bucayo Saka and Martin Odigat were again the key to victory, with Saka contributing two assists, bringing his tally to 10 for the season.
Their first goal continued to come from a corner play, the 25th goal from a corner since last season, and Gabil Magahis, who has been the league's highest goal-scoring central defender since the 21/22 season, has scored three goals this season to help his side finish second in the league. However, coach Aditya is worried about the health of his players and the leader was substituted early due to a poor half-time performance.
Arsenal are full of confidence for this clash. Like Brighton and Binford, they have kept all their home wins in the league, scoring in their last 12 home games. It will certainly be a tough test for United and the first real test for new coach Emmanuel Amorim.
After Emmanuel took over Manchester United, the team's form has continued to rise, with significant improvement in both individual and overall performance. The team tends to bounce back after a new coach takes over, but facing the challenge of Arsenal is undoubtedly more difficult.
Rashford seems to be the biggest beneficiary under the new coach. After scoring his first goal under Emmanuel, he has scored three goals in his last two league games. It's also worth noting that Rashford's past performance against Arsenal was also impressive, with 10 goals in 17 appearances. I'm sure he'll be looking to continue that tradition in today's match.
Unfortunately, United will be faced with the absence of Lisindo Martinez and Minnae. They accumulated their fifth yellow card in the match for Ewarton and need to be suspended. As for another core player, Nandis, the situation is not optimistic as he left the game early due to an ankle injury. These three key players are crucial to the team's new tactics, and their absence will undoubtedly deal a huge blow to the team.
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, Arsenal have won three consecutive games in the rivalry between the two teams, and have won six of their last nine league games against Manchester United. The last time United beat Arsenal dates back to 2019. Despite United's progress under their new coach, there is still a gap between their strengths and Arsenal. Therefore, I expect the in-form Arsenal to win at home.
