Arsenal v Manchester United Betting Tips [12 January 2025]

The biggest match in the third round of the FA Cup will definitely be the one pitting Arsenal against Manchester United. The two giants clash at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium in what would also be the second of their scheduled three meetings this season. Below we have a prediction.

Arsenal will be playing the second of their five straight matches at home, seeking to rise from two winless outings. Their most recent was a disappointing one as they suffered a 2-0 loss at home to Newcastle United in the League Cup first leg semi-final.

Having already beaten Manchester United this season, the Gunners will be expecting the Red Devils’ backlash.

Manchester United aren’t coming here on a very inspiring run as they endure another tough campaign. However, having drawn 2-2 with Liverpool and seeking revenge for their 2-0 loss at Arsenal earlier, they will come confident of giving a response.

Their draw with Liverpool put a halt to a four-match losing run and they will want to better that at one of the most difficult venues to win. It will especially get tougher with a porous defence.

Ruben Amorim’s side has conceded two or more goals in each of the last five matches. They also failed to keep a clean sheet in the last nine matches, conceding a total of 20 goals.

Arsenal have stumbled a bit in their recent matches but will still come into this game as favorites. They have only lost once in their last 14 matches and will be inspired to rise from that loss here. Manchester United haven't done well in their recent matches and though they rose to the occasion against Liverpool, it will be tough at the Emirates Stadium.

They lost each of their last four matches against Arsenal and are winless in seven visits to the Emirates. Our prediction for Arsenal v Manchester United is that Arsenal wins the match.
