Arsenal v Man Utd Betting Preview

Written by Yaro Pavlenko

Spreadex Sports previews the upcoming 2025/26 Premier League fixture between Arsenal and Man Utd. The league-leading Gunners remain favourites to win this season's title, but couldn't fully capitalise last week as main rivals Man City lost to neighbours Utd, while Arsenal drew with Nottingham Forest.

Utd, meanwhile, returned to form in Michael Carrick's managerial bow with that impressive win over City, and will fancy their chances of getting a result that would strongly boost their chase for a top-four finish.

4.30pm, UK time.

Arsenal v Man Utd betting FORM

The home side continue to be in generally excellent form across the board, with only minor blips in the cases of a couple of goalless draws against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest in their last two league fixtures, but the Gunners are fighting on all fronts and have tasted defeat just once since September 2025.

Man Utd's form is more difficult to gauge with the arrival of Michael Carrick as manager, as the Red Devils are still on a run of only three wins in their last ten matches, albeit with five draws and only two defeats in that time.

The former Utd midfielder had a short spell in interim charge previously where he secured - interestingly - an impressive victory over none other than Arsenal. Carrick's second spell has seen Utd revert to a back four system and a debut win over Man City may signal the start of a resurgent Utd on a quest for a top four finish with only the Premier League to focus on.

WHAT ARE THE BEST ODDS ON Arsenal v Man Utd?

The Spreadex Sports fixed odds Match Odds betting prices have Arsenal as heavy 4/7 favourites to secure a victory while our 2 Up early pay out market, which pays out when a team goes two goals up, has the Gunners at 8/15.

Man Utd meanwhile are available at 5/1 for the away victory (17/4 on our 2 Up market), with the draw at 3/1.

H2H form of late has been titled heavily in Arsenal's favour, with the Gunners winning six of the last ten meetings, with Utd winning three (including a penalty shootout victory in the FA Cup) with just one league draw in that time.

Six of those last ten meetings saw Both Teams Scoring, you can back Both to Score - Yes at 8/11 here.

Arsenal v Man Utd FOOTBALL SPREAD BETTING PRICES

Our football spread betting prices have the Goal Supremacy as Arsenal/Man Utd 1 - 1.2. This means if Arsenal won 4-1 (or by any other three goal margin), a 'buy' bet at 1.2 would mean a return of 1.8x your initial stake.

However, if you bought at 1.2 in Arsenal's favour and the match ended goalless, you would lose 1.2x your stake. Or, if Man Utd were to grab a 1-0 (or any other one goal margin) win, the market would settle negatively at -1 and a buy at 1.2 would result in a loss of 2.2x your opening stake.

You can calculate various make-ups by using our handy spread betting calculator, found here.

Our spread betting Total Goals line is 2.95 - 3.15. So a 3.15 'buy' bet would need at least four goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit. Conversely, a 2.95 sell bet would need less than three goals to be scored in the match to turn a profit.

Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. E.g. a 3.15 'buy' Total Goals bet would lose 3.15x your opening stake if the match ended 0-0, and so on.
