Arsenal, the favorites for this weekend’s big clash at Old Trafford as we look at the predicted line-up and key match details for the Manchester United vs Arsenal FC – EPL 2022-23 match-up.

This game is between two iconic teams in the league who have had a contrasting start to this season. Arsenal have had a dream start to the season with 5 wins in 5 games including 2 clean sheets. Whereas Manchester United have 3 wins in their 5 games.

Fortunately, Manchester United are playing at home, and will be looking to get those important 3 points. After the strong performance against Leicester in the away game just 2 days before this game, the manager and the team will be brimming with confidence. With Eriksen and McTominay controlling the midfield, we are likely to see a counter-attacking with Bruno, Sancho, and Elanga linking up front with Rashford.

On the other hand, after winning 5 of their last 5 games, Arsenal look very confident. Given their form against Manchester United in the last few games, they are looking as the favorites to win this clash at Old Trafford. Arsenal are controlling the midfield well in their games and will stick to their free-flowing passing style against Manchester United.

History

While Manchester United’s record against Arsenal is better overall, in the last 5 meetings between these two teams in the Premier League, Arsenal have won 3 and Manchester United have won just 1 game.

EPL 2022-23: Manchester United vs Arsenal Fantasy 11

This is going to be an interesting pick with both teams evenly placed for this game. However, with Arsenal being the favorites choosing Aaron Ramsdale would be step 1. Choosing defenders who push forward and can provide assists would be Tyrell Malacia, Diogo Dalot, Kieran Tierney, and Gabriel Magalhaes. 

In the midfield, Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandez, and Gabriel Martinelli are no-brainers along with Martin Odegaard and Marcus Rashford. Gabriel Jesus completes the starting XI as the forward for the team.

Goalkeeper: Aaron Ramsdale

Defenders: Tyrell Malacia, Diogo Dalot, Kieran Tierney, Gabriel Magalhaes (in place of Ben White)
