Arsenal
EnglandCurrent form
Arsenal hold the record for the most FA Cup titles won, with 14 trophies in their history. The Londoners last won this tournament in the 2019/2020 season, beating Chelsea 2-1 in the final. Interestingly, since that success, they have never managed to get past the 1/16 finals. A year ago, the Gunners lost to Liverpool in the first stage of the Cup (0-2).
Arsenal approach the upcoming match after an unsuccessful first game in the League Cup semi-final against Newcastle. Mikel Arteta men lost 0:2 at home and significantly complicated their prospects of reaching the final.
In the Premier League, the Gunners have 40 points in 20 rounds, with which they are in second place. The gap to the leader Liverpool is six points, and the opponent still has a game in hand. Nottingham Forest is behind, which is inferior only on additional indicators. In the last round, Arsenal drew away with Brighton (1:1). It should be noted that the Londoners usually perform strongly at the Emirates, where, taking into account all tournaments this season, they have suffered only one defeat in the previous game of the League Cup against Newcastle. Undoubtedly, today the team will try to rehabilitate itself in front of the fans for that failure.

On the road, they managed to take points from the championship leader Liverpool (2:2). With 23 points scored, Amorim charges are in 13th place in the table.

1.89Tip and bets
Arsenal suffered their first home defeat of the season four days ago and the players will clearly be well motivated to win today, a second consecutive defeat at the Emirates is not in their plans. They will play against a comfortable opponent - in the four previous face-to-face matches, taking into account all tournaments, the Londoners beat the Red Devils. Manchester United are still in search of their game and are waiting for the transfer window, the defense regularly fails, especially in away matches. We think that, first of all, due to a more reliable game at their goal, the Gunners will achieve victory in regular time.
Our prediction is Arsenal win at odds of 1.73
Bet on total
In three of the last five matches, Arsenal exchanged goals with their opponents. Manchester United has good attacking players and is quite capable of playing on its own ball. At the same time, the Red Devils' defense regularly allows itself to fail, acts uncertainly at set pieces, the Londoners are unlikely to be left without their ball.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.87
Bet on the exact difference in the score
Arsenal have won four head-to-head matches in a row, with all wins being by one or two goals. There is a high probability that another victory will be achieved in the same style. We do not expect a total rout, after all, there is no huge difference in class between the opponents.
Prediction: Arsenal win by one or two goals with odds of 2.20
