Arsenal vs Man Utd prediction
With both Manchester City and Aston Villa losing last week, Arsenal failed to punish them to the maximum with the Gunners sharing a goalless draw against Nottingham Forest, extending their lead at the top-of-the-table to seven points. The hosts eased to a 3-1 defeat of Inter in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League at San Siro.
Manchester United began the Michael Carrick reign with an impressive 2-0 defeat of Manchester City at Old Trafford with the Red Devils deserving an even more emphatic victory. The visitors begin this weekend's round of fixtures sitting just a point and a place outside of the top four in the Premier League.
United will head to the Emirates with a newfound belief and confidence but the hosts remain the favourites as they look to secure a first Premier League title in over 20 years.
