This weekend Manchester United are facing Arsenal in the Premier League and ahead of the game, pundits are making their predictions.
After losing 4-0 to Crystal Palace this past Monday, Manchester United are back in Premier League competition for the third to last game of the season.
With just over a week left in the league campaign, Erik ten Hag likely struggles to get his team back up for this game, as United steadily slip down the table.
Arsenal of course are locked in a title race with Man City and will be extremely motivated to beat United and give themselves as good a chance as possible of winning the title.
Ahead of the game, the predictions are coming in with both Gary Neville and Roy Keane getting involved.
How Gary Neville and Roy Keane have predicted Manchester United vs Arsenal
On this week’s episode of the Stick to Football podcast, two United legends have shared their predictions for the game, and they can’t agree.
First up, Keane made his prediction, saying: “United will score. I’d say 2 or 3-1 to Arsenal.”
After this, Neville disagreed and made his prediction, which would be far more welcomed by Ten Hag.
“It’s massive for Arsenal and United’s record against the top half teams at home [isn’t bad].
“But this game, it’s almost as though it’s been dismissed because United are that bad, which we all get, but it can be a graveyard Old Trafford.
“I’m not sure Arsenal are going to win, Arsenal should win, but there’s madness around Old Trafford and usually, during a title race, it doesn’t work out as you’d think.
“So I’m going to go 2-2, it’s just a feeling but Arsenal should win.”
How Manchester United done at home to the top sides this season
As Neville mentioned, this season has seen United upset at home by sides that they should be beating, far more often than by teams around them in the league.
This of course will see Ten Hag have a level of confidence heading into this game, especially with the last big side to come to Old Trafford being Liverpool who were beaten 4-3 in the cup and drew 2-2 in the league.
Besides City winning 3-0, United beat Chelsea, beat Aston Villa, drew to Spurs and beat West Ham. So Arsenal won’t have it easy, nor will Newcastle next week.
That being said, if it’s a performance which is like what we saw on Monday, it could quite quickly become embarrassing for United.
