Neville names the potential game-changing advantage United have over Arsenal on Sunday as he predicts two-goal affair
Manchester United lock horns with longtime Premier League rivals Arsenal on Sunday when they host the title-chasers at Old Trafford.
In truth, the Gunners’ hopes of pipping Liverpool to the title have taken blow after blow this year. Arne Slot’s side has maintained a near-perfect record, while Arsenal are winless in their last two matches and now sit a whopping 13 points behind the leaders.
As such, they’ll be looking to get back on track while getting one over on the 20-time champions this weekend. Mikel Arteta has already faced Ruben Amorim twice since he took the reins at Old Trafford last November; Arsenal beat United 2-0 in the league in the reverse fixture at the Emirates before being knocked out of the FA Cup on their home soil following a penalty shootout in January.
Amorim has overseen nothing short of a turbulent tenure after succeeding Erik ten Hag, losing eight league games in the 16 he’s managed. The Red Devils were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in the quarter-finals and enter Sunday’s contest on the back of an FA Cup exit at the hands of Fulham.
The spoils will be shared in United vs Arsenal, predicts Gary Neville
Last time out in the top flight, United narrowly overturned Ipswich Town with a 3-2 home victory in a clash that saw Patrick Dorgu receive a straight red card. Four goals came in the first half, with Harry Maguire heading home from a set-piece shortly after the interval to seal a crucial three points.
Debating how the forthcoming fixture between the two English goliaths will play out, Gary Neville has predicted that the points will be shared come the full-time whistle.
“United are playing so poorly at the moment, but they do sometimes lift their game against big opponents,” said Neville on the It’s Called Soccer podcast.
“And I feel on Sunday, the crowd will be there with them. And I think it will be 1-1 – scorer for United will be Bruno Fernandes.”
