Manchester United get their 2025-26 Premier League campaign started on Sunday with a home clash against Arsenal, and our betting tips for the clash can be backed in a 6/1 bet builder.
Sunday’s Premier League action is rounded off with Manchester United hosting Arsenal at Old Trafford in what is perhaps the standout fixture of the round, with kick-off scheduled for 16:30.
Ruben Amorim’s side boast a renewed sense of hope ahead of the new season, having made strong attacking signings, such as Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha.
Without European football to worry about, the Red Devils’ entire focus will be placed on the league, as they look to put last term’s 15th-place finish behind them.
The Gunners, meanwhile, have finally signed an out-and-out striker, with Viktor Gyokeres arriving from Sporting Lisbon as the club’s marquee signing this summer.
He is rated as the fourth favourite by UK betting sites at 13/2 to finish the season as the league’s top scorer, behind Erling Haaland (11/8), Mohamed Salah (5/1) and Alexander Isak (6/1).
Arsenal head into this opening weekend encounter as narrow favourites among bookmakers, priced at around 19/20. United are at around 13/5 to kick off the campaign with three points.
But the Man Utd vs Arsenal stats suggest we might be in for a close-run match.

- Bukayo Saka to Score at Any Time @ 15/8
- Benjamin Sesko – Over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 4/7
Arsenal to Win @ 19/20
Our first tip for Sunday evening’s Premier League clash between Manchester United and Arsenal is to back the Gunners to come out on top, priced by leading bookmakers at around 19/20.
Arteta’s side head into the 2025-26 campaign off the back of another strong season, having finished second place in the English top-flight with the strongest defensive record in the division.
They’ve added to their ranks since then too, completing the signings of Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard, adding quality and depth across the pitch.
United, meanwhile, despite making strong signings across the front line, are still in rebuild mode under Amorim, and the same question marks from last term remain over their back line.
Arsenal are a tough opponent to face on the opening weekend, and although we can see United developing over the course of the campaign, we can’t see them causing many problems here.
Bukayo Saka to Score at Any Time @ 15/8
Up next, we’re backing Bukayo Saka to score at any time on Sunday, priced at 15/8.
The England international has a knack for turning up in big games, netting in crucial clashes against Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Tottenham last term.
He ended the 2024-25 campaign, despite being sidelined for several months through injury, with 12 goals and 14 assists in 37 matches across all competitions for the North Londoners.
With the addition of Gyokeres, centre-backs will have to place more of a focus on marking the Swedish striker, which could potentially give Saka more space and time to cut inside and shoot.
We expect the 23-year-old to make the most of this and are backing him to exploit United’s defensive weaknesses by netting at Old Trafford on Premier League opening weekend.
Benjamin Sesko – Over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 4/7
United’s new summer signing Sesko is set to play a prominent role in Amorim’s attack, with reports suggesting that the Slovenian is set to lead the line instead of Rasmus Hojlund.
During his time at RB Leipzig, Sesko averaged close to one shot on target per game. He often fires shots from range, as he looks to catch the goalkeeper off guard.
Even against a strong defensive side such as Arsenal, if the 22-year-old features for the entire 90 minutes, he should be afforded some opportunities in front of goal, especially at home.
This is why we believe backing Sesko to have one shot on target is a safe bet for Sunday’s clash, with bookmakers pricing the selection at around 4/7 ahead of the match.
