Man Utd vs Arsenal: Key stats & why the Premier League table doesn’t lie

Arsenal have won their past four Premier League games against United – the longest such streak in the history of this rivalry – but did lose on penalties to Amorim’s 10-man side in the FA Cup in January.

The underlying numbers still suggest a United victory in their third-round tie was unexpected.

Mikel Arteta’s side were dominant in almost all metrics, as they had been in the league encounter a month previously, only to find United’s second-choice keeper Altay Bayindir inspired as he denied the Gunners.

Across the two games, Arsenal’s expected goals was 5.3 and United’s 0.5

Arsenal had 13 shots on target to United’s six

The Gunners managed 15 successful crosses to just two from United.

In fact, the only area where Amorim’s side laid a blow was in fouls, committing 50% more than their opponents.

“It’s a big club which has struggled a little bit but we know the quality they have when they’re really on it,” said Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard. “They have a lot of good individual players that we have to be ready for.

“But we go there to win. We’re Arsenal and we’re not scared. There’s always more to play for at the end of the season but every game in this league is so important from the start to the end.”
