Manchester United and Arsenal square off this weekend in the opening fixture of the Premier League calendar – and our 9/1 treble could start fans’ seasons off just right.
Ruben Amorim and Mikel Arteta will see their sides do battle at Old Trafford and both have new look squads to welcome in the new year.
United have freshened things up in attack with Bryan Mbuemo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko arriving while their visitors have added Martin Zubimendi, Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Christian Norgaard among others.
It is a fixture that fans of both clubs always look out for when the schedules arrive, so for it to come on matchday one makes for a blockbuster kick-off.
A United win sees longer odds of 13/5 while a Gunners victory can be backed at Evens with leading bookmakers.
Manchester United vs Arsenal Bet Builder Tips
- Viktor Gyokeres first goal scorer @ 4/1
- Manchester United goalkeeper 4+ saves @ 6/5
- Over 1.5 goals @ 1/4
Viktor Gyokeres first goal scorer @ 4/1
There is so much excitement at the Emirates surrounding Arsenal’s newest frontman Gyokeres and he could hit the ground running at Old Trafford this weekend.
The Sweden international was ruthless with Sporting CP last season before he earned his move to North London after he smashed in 54 goals in 52 appearances. Starting his career at Arsenal away to United could hardly be tougher, but he is a proven scorer and will want to silence the home crowd by netting early.
Odds of 4/1 are relatively high for a player of his calibre.
Manchester United goalkeeper 4+ saves @ 6/5
Andre Onana has faced a barrel load of efforts between the sticks for his side and, according to TNT Sport, he averages 3.4 saves per match.
That is a telling statistic considering Man United’s recent history and their poor form last year which resulted in a 15th place finish.
If the Cameroonian makes four stops against Arsenal – which is realistic considering past fixtures – at 6/5 that will seriously boost punters’ winnings.
Over 1.5 goals @ 1/4
Granted the odds may not be earth-shattering but two goals hitting the back of the net on Sunday evening would top our treble off nicely.
Both sides have strong attacking talent who will want to open their account for the season. We suspect there will be plenty of forward thinking and creativity in front of goal and a couple, at least, will go in.
