Manchester United face Arsenal in the 14th round of the Premier League. The Red Devils did a perfect job against Chelsea, taking a point after a 1-1 draw. Many might say that such a performance does not meet the standards of the club and they are right, but at the moment United would find it difficult to successfully oppose Chelsea in another way. Michael Carrick prepared his team perfectly and in the end a point as a guest at Stamford Bridge was a good result.

Arsenal played their match perfectly with Newcastle and deservedly congratulated themselves with three points after a 2-0 victory. The Gunners left almost no space for the Magpies, who created their best positions only in the final minutes. The loss of West Ham to Manchester City allowed Arsenal to equalize the Hammers in points and are currently in fifth place, not fourth, just because of a worse goal difference.

The big problem for Mikel Arteta is that his players do not act in the same way in their away games. As a guest, Arsenal play more timidly, are less convincing and will continue to lose points until they change that. On their last visit to Liverpool, the Gunners were on par with their rival for only about 25 minutes, after which the Merseysiders outplayed them.

Although Arsenal have been playing successfully against Manchester United lately, I do not expect an easy match for the guests, on the contrary. The results of the "Ball" against the top teams are eloquent - a 2-0 loss against Chelsea, 5-0 against Man City and 4-0 against Liverpool.

We have yet to find out what impact Ralph Rangnik's appointment will have on United's performance on Thursday. I expect that the specialist will not make drastic changes so quickly. In my opinion, the Red Devils will again play with increased attention in defense, as against Villarreal and Chelsea, and will patiently wait for their opponent to make a mistake.

In this situation, I do not expect a successful match. So far, a goal-to-goal bet is a loser in every visit to Arsenal. United still do not have a dry net at Old Trafford, but with their performance in the previous two games they convinced that it is only a matter of time to end this negative series.
