Manchester United vs. Arsenal could be the game that will decide the outcome of the 2023-24 English Premier League. If the Gunners don’t win on Sunday, May 12, they might lose the title race to Manchester City.
That said, they’ve got the motivation to win all three points from their trip to Old Trafford, but the problem is that they’ve only done it four times since the establishment of the Premier League 32 years ago.

Manchester United Relying on the Old Trafford Power
Manchester United is 16-6-13 in the 2023-24 Premier League, which accounts for 54 points. They’re 8th in the standings at the moment, which isn’t too bad, especially given that just two points behind Aston Villa, which is the team sitting in the position that leads to the Europa Conference League next season.
The bad news for the Red Devils is that in the remainder of the Premier League 2023-24 season, they’ve got three very tough opponents to play against. The toughest of those is Arsenal, with which they meet this coming Sunday.
On the bright side for the Red Devils, the Manchester United vs. Arsenal game is played on their turf. At Old Trafford, they have a fantastic record against the Gunners. Further, they’ve also been pretty impressive at home against other EPL teams this season. For example, they drew 2-2 with both Liverpool and Tottenham, while beating Aston Villa 3-2 and Chelsea 2-1.
Arsenal Going All-In on Sunday
The math is clear – if they want to win the 2023-24 Premier League, the Gunners need to keep on winning. Anything other than a win on Sunday could mean the end of their title dream. So, can they beat Manchester United at Old Trafford?
That’s not something they’ve done many times before, but on the bright side, the Red Devils don’t look as great as they were in the past. Further, the Gunners’ 2024 squad looks stronger than it’s been in years (or even decades!).
On top of everything, Mikel Arteta’s men are in fantastic form with four wins in a row. Their brilliant run started with a 2-0 win over Wolves, followed by a 5-0 thrashing of Chelsea and a 3-2 win over Tottenham in the North London Derby. In their most recent game, they beat Bournemouth 3-0.
Manchester United vs. Arsenal Prediction
We think Arsenal will win this game. It’s not just that the Gunners are motivated to win; it’s also that they have a much better roster in 2024 than the Red Devils.
Pick: Arsenal
