Arsenal vs Manchester United tips

Ole Gunnar Solksjaer won the FA Cup twice when playing for Manchester United and now he continues his bid to win it as their manager. He's won seven out of seven since becoming their interim manager but can he make it eight in a row as they travel to Arsenal in the fourth round? United have won the FA Cup 12 times but their opponents have been victorious a record 13 times (non-league Kettering Town have scored most goals though). United do look a different team since the arrival of Solksjaer but still struggle to keep clean sheets with only one in their last 12 league and cup games. Up against an attacking Arsenal side on their home territory it's hard to see their still fragile defence keep a clean sheet.
Arsenal improved their chances of making it into the top four in the Premier League with a 2-0 home win over Chelsea last weekend. Now they turn their attention to the FA Cup with the target of winning it for the 14th time. They have won three of their last four league and cup games and six of the last seven at home. Only one of their last 28 home league and cup games have been lost but United won on their last visit to the Emirates. This should be a great game and it'll be interesting to see what line-ups are chosen. Go for over 2.5 goals to be scored in this game.

In what is undoubtedly the standout fixture of the draw, Arsenal take on Manchester United in the 4th round of the FA Cup on Friday at the Emirates.
In a perfect snapshot of their season so far, Arsenal fell to an extremely disappointing Premier League defeat against West Ham, before recovering to swarm all over Chelsea inside the space of a week.
Manchester United’s task seems tough on Friday then, though with 7 wins from 7 games, confidence in their squad will be soaring. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s rocket-fuelled juggernaut has shown a few signs of slowing down in recent weeks however.
Really, Friday’s game is a clash between two of England’s abstruse teams – both teams are equally capable of producing performances at either end of the spectrum. The teams are remarkably consistent when it comes to producing games with goals however.
Both teams have scored in a whopping 74% of Arsenal’s Premier League matches this season, while United’s equivalent figure stands at an even more eye-watering 78%. Those percentages are the first and second highest in the division.
Similarly, over 2.5 goals were scored in 61% and 78% of Arsenal’s and United’s league fixtures this season respectively. In addition, at least 3 goals flew in in 4 of the last 6 meetings between the clubs and in 3 of their last 4 clashes at the Emirates.
Their latest skirmish on Friday is also dripping with goalscoring potential. Both defences have kept just 4 clean sheets each in 23 league matches this season, and we expect each backline to be breached again this week.
With that considered, the over 2.5 goal & both teams to score combination looks fantastic value for Friday’s fixture.

Ce match promet du spectacle entre ces deux équipes en forme. Arsenal réalise un bon début d'année et vient de montrer qu'il est capable de gagner contre les gros en faisant tomber Chelsea sans encaisser de but. Un succès qui devrait leur apporter beaucoup de confiance avant ce match. Mais face à eux se trouve une équipe qui marche sur l'eau depuis 1 mois et demi. Manchester ne perd plus, ne lâche plus de points et est redevenue une équipe qui fait peur. Les joueurs paraissent transformés depuis le changement d'entraîneur et la flamme est revenue. L'affrontement paraît donc bien indécis mais Manchester part avec un léger avantage au vu de la forme des deux.
