Last Updated on 12/12/2025 by Andy Clark

The big game in the Premier League this weekend is Arsenal vs Manchester United and although the fixture doesn’t hold the rivalry it did 20 years ago, it is still a hug game in the Premier League. Chris Sutton has made his prediction for the match including what he thinks the score will be ut he isn’t in great form this weekend, predicting just three correct results across Friday and Saturday, and getting none of the scores correct. Will things change at the Emirates today? Sutton makes all his predictions on the BBC Sport website each week and comes up against a celebrity challenger, this week it was actor David Earl, who has bene even worse with his predictions that Chris Sutton this weekend, getting just two correct.

Chris Sutton’s Arsenal vs Man Utd Prediction

Writing in his BBC column, Sutton said: “Both these teams I think performance-wise have underachieved albeit Arsenal have seven points from nine and Manchester United have six from nine.

I think there are question marks over whether Mikel Arteta has been tinkering too much, legitimate questions really. Manchester United just haven’t sparked yet. They ended up beating Nottingham Forest with a dubious penalty.

Arsenal, at Emirates Stadium – this is going to be the kick-start to their season. I think they’ll beat Manchester United but I don’t think it’ll be a walkover.

Sutton’s prediction: 2-1

David’s prediction: I’m a big fan of Erik ten Hag, he is still building his team, but he seems to be doing all the right things. I hate to say it, but I think Arsenal will edge this one – we will beat them at our place though! 3-2.
