Manchester United vs. Arsenal Prediction, Picks & Odds for Sunday's Premier League Match

Michael Carrick's rejuvenated Reds face the Premier League pacesetters at Emirates Stadium in London today (11:30 a.m. ET, Peacock), and I'm expecting a defensive masterclass from the visitors in my Manchester United vs. Arsenal prediction. 

Arsenal is the decisive -180 moneyline betting favorite to take all three points at their home ground. However, Carrick taking over the coaching reins has not only galvanized United but will also help them be more organized and disciplined defensively. While I haven't triggered it as my best bet, I'm confident United will escape with an unlikely draw as part of the Premier League best bets.

Arsenal is the Premier League's best home team, tied with Man City with 29 points. However, they are winless in consecutive matches for the first time.

Manchester United is unbeaten in five, but I'm more interested in how the collective responded to the changing of the guard, with Michael Carrick taking over as head coach until the end of the season. United beat cross-town rivals Man City 2-0 at Old Trafford in his first match in charge. 

Not only more rejuvenated, but they were also markedly more organized all over the pitch. I expect the same in London and predict a 1-1 final.

Score prediction: Arsenal 1, Manchester United 1 

🙌 Best Manchester United vs. Arsenal goal-scorer prediction: Bryan Mbeumo, United (+320) ⭐⭐⭐

Mbuemo has seven goals, the most on either team. He is United's most formidable attacking threat and played well in his first game after returning from the African Cup of Nations, scoring in last week's Manchester Derby. 

With no clear-cut premier goal-scorer bet from the hosts, Mbuemo offers the best bet. His +320 provides the best value of the best sports betting sites, and United will be looking to get the ball into him on counters at every possible opportunity.
