Prediction published on 20/04/2022, 23:44  by Indran in Premier League Prediction

Arsenal plays host to Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium in this crucial Premiership encounter. The home team are currently in fifth position with 57 points while the visitors are a spot below in sixth with 54 points but have played an extra match. Arsenal are level on points with Tottenham but their London neighbours have the better goal difference. A win for Arsenal will keep them in the running for a top four finish while a defeat will mean Manchester United will draw level with them on 57 points. The home team though will be full of confidence after gaining a morale boosting 4-2 away win over Chelsea in their last match. The victory brought an end to a run of three consecutive league defeats that threatened to derail their Champions League ambitions. Arsenal are undefeated in their last three home matches against United with two wins and a draw. They are attempting to keep four consecutive home clean sheets against them for the first time.

Manchester United reached another low in their season when they were thumped 4-0 by Liverpool in their last match. They need three points in this match to keep their top four hopes alive. A defeat for them will see Arsenal open a six point gap with a game in hand and will make it almost impossible to catch them with only five matches left after this one. United have only won two of their last nine matches across all competitions and have lost their last three away matches in the league. They won the reverse fixture 3-2 which ended a sequence of six matches without a win against Arsenal. United are looking to complete the league double over them for the first time since the 2017/18 season.
