Manchester United vs Arsenal

Current streaks

Recent form

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Red Devils have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six outings, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game. Their attacking prowess has been somewhat lacklustre, scoring 1.33 goals per match on average. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 67% of these fixtures, suggesting entertaining encounters for spectators. The nail-biting 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town in the Premier League stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair. United's league position of 14th with 33 points from 27 games indicates a challenging season thus far, with their goal difference of -1 over the last six matches reflecting their struggles to dominate opponents consistently.

Arsenal

Arsenal's recent form presents a mixed bag of results, with the Gunners showcasing both brilliance and inconsistency. Their last six matches have seen them secure three wins, one draw, and suffer two losses. The standout performance came in their most recent Champions League fixture, where they thrashed PSV Eindhoven 7-1, demonstrating their attacking prowess. Another high-scoring game was their impressive 5-1 victory over Manchester City in the Premier League, highlighting their ability to dominate top opposition. Despite these impressive scorelines, Arsenal have struggled with consistency, failing to score in two of their last four league matches. Their defensive record remains solid, conceding only 0.83 goals per game in their last six outings and keeping two clean sheets. However, the Gunners' inability to string together a run of more than two consecutive wins in this period suggests they are still seeking the consistency needed to maintain their challenge for the Premier League title.

Recent home/away form

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent home form has been somewhat inconsistent, with the Red Devils failing to establish a clear run of victories or defeats. Their last six home matches have yielded three wins, two losses, and a draw, showcasing a mixed bag of results. Notably, United have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with four out of the six games seeing over 2.5 goals, including a thrilling 3-2 victory against Ipswich Town in the Premier League. Despite their 14th position in the league, United have managed to maintain a respectable goal-scoring record at home, netting 1.5 goals per game on average. However, their defensive frailties are evident, as they've failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches and have conceded an average of 1.67 goals per game. The fact that both teams have scored in 83% of these fixtures further highlights the entertaining, albeit defensively vulnerable, nature of United's recent home performances.

Arsenal

Arsenal have been in impressive form away from home, winning four of their last six matches on the road. The Gunners have shown defensive solidity, keeping three clean sheets and conceding just four goals in these six away games. Their most notable result came in their most recent away fixture, a resounding 7-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Arsenal have managed to score in five of these six away matches, demonstrating their attacking prowess. Despite a brief setback with a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United in the League Cup, the team have bounced back strongly, showcasing their resilience. With an average of two goals scored per game and only 0.67 conceded, Arsenal's away form has been crucial in maintaining their strong league position, sitting second with 54 points from 27 games.
