All eyes will be on Emirates Stadium as Arsenal host Manchester United in a Premier League derby. Despite Man Utd's fine performance in the Manchester derby, we predict a 2-1 win as Arsenal are a real force to be reckoned with at home. Mikel Arteta welcomes back Leandro Trossard and Bukayo Saka, both pushing for a start after coming off the bench in a goalless draw with Nottingham Forest. The Gunners have been in fine form, winning 70% of their matches, averaging 2.9 goals per game, and keeping clean sheets in 30% of outings. At home, Arsenal’s attacking prowess is evident, with 2.06 expected goals per match and BTTS occurring in 80% of home games.
Manchester United travel to London on the back of a thrilling 2-0 victory over Manchester City, though Matthijs de Ligt remains sidelined. The Red Devils have been prone to high-scoring affairs, with BTTS in 80% of matches and scoring 1.8 goals per game. Interim manager Michael Carrick has no fresh injury worries ahead of Sunday's showdown. Historically, the fixture has produced goals, with over 1.5 goals in 79% of meetings. Therefore, this betting option should be considered.
As Arsenal have turned their Emirates Stadium into a real fortress, Home Win should be considered, alongside Over 2.5 goals (49% H2H) and Arsenal Over 1.5.
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 25 January 2026 at 16:30.
