THE PREDICTION
Man Utd were bumped off the top of the Premier League in midweek by local rivals Man City after a shocking 1-2 defeat at the hands of rock-bottom Sheffield Utd at Old Trafford. They travel to Arsenal here desperate to bounce back, but knowing that defeat could see Man City open up a clear gap at the top of the table. The Gunners are in fine form having won five of their last six Premier League matches, scoring 14 goals in the process. Arsenal have had the edge over Man Utd in recent matches between the two sides, winning three of the last four vs the Red Devils, but Mikel Arteta has a few important injury concerns ahead of this particular encounter. With both teams needing a positive result for different reasons, each could adopt a largely offensive style of play here and as such both teams to score should be considered.
