In what is a blockbuster Premier League battle on Sunday afternoon, Arsenal will welcome Manchester United to north London.
Opening this weekend’s fixtures holding a commanding seven-point buffer at the top of the table, the Gunners are in the midst of what has become an iconic fairytale and they have their sights set on completing a famous silverware sweep in 2026.
Getting Michael Carrick’s second temporary reigning underway with a sensational 2-0 victory in the Manchester derby last weekend, the Red Devils will travel to the capital dreaming of the chance to claim another heavyweight scalp.
With all eyes falling on the Emirates on Sunday afternoon, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive Arsenal vs Manchester United Bet Builder Tips.
Arsenal look to widen their advantage
While Arsenal might have been forced to settle for a 0-0 stalemate away at relegation scrappers Nottingham Forest last weekend, Mikel Arteta’s camp have continued to shatter a string of records this season.
Holding a commanding seven-point buffer at the top of the Premier League table, the Gunners are rightfully installed as a landslide contender to get their hands on a first domestic crown since way back in 2004.
Extending on their remarkable Champions League romp earlier in the week as they stormed their way to an empathic 3-1 romp away at Italian giants inter Milan, Arteta will be dreaming of a repeat display here.
Getting their EFL Cup semi-final adventure underway with an action-packed 3-2 victory against historic local rivals Chelsea, Arsenal will also be excited by a dominant record against Sunday’s guests.
In fact, the Gunners have registered 16 points from their previous six consecutive Premier League showdowns against Manchester United and they are once again pencilled in as a real favourite.

Carrick’s dream return
Watching Ruben Amorim end his 14-month stint at Old Trafford earlier in the month and showing a string of issues on either side of opening the New Year, Manchester United found themselves at the heart of another public struggle.
Shockingly welcoming Carrick back for a second temporary stint in charge, the former Middlesbrough got his return to the red half of Manchester underway with a sensational performance on home soil.
Claiming local bragging rights as they secured a deserved 2-0 victory in the Manchester derby, the Red Devils suddenly open this weekend’s fixtures sat just one-point adrift of finding a route into the Champions League spots.
However, despite travelling to north London this weekend coming off the back of a season-best display at Old Trafford, Carrick’s side couldn’t have asked for a tougher challenge on Sunday afternoon.
It should also be noted, United have secured just a sole Premier League win on their travels since the end of November.

Rice to play a leading role again
While Declan Rice might still be waiting to get his hands on a first piece of major silverware since arriving from West Ham back in the summer of 2023, the England international has been at the heart of everything positive Arsenal have produced this season.
With many billing the former Hammers skipper as a standout candidate for this year’s PFA Player of the Year award, Rice has also relished the chance to feature in a more advanced role.
Bagging a stellar Premier League brace during Arsenal’s frantic 3-2 victory away at Bournemouth on January 3rd, the 27-year-old has recorded four domestic strikes this season.
In fact, only the duo of Leandro Trossard and big-money summer recruit Viktor Gyokeres have registered more Premier League goals so far this campaign.
Rice should be confident of testing a Manchester United defence who have remarkably failed to muster a single clean sheet away from Old Trafford across any competition so far this season.
