Manchester United Women v Arsenal Women: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Manchester United Women will hope to extend their unbeaten run to six matches when they face Arsenal Women in the Women's Super League on Sunday afternoon.

The two sides will meet at the Leigh Sports Village with just two points separating the two sides, although the hosts do have a game in hand over the Gunners.

United were held to a 1-1 draw in their last league encounter by Brighton, while Arsenal proved too much for West Ham, recording a 2-0 win on the road.

Double Chance - Manchester United Women or Draw @ 10/11

After finishing fifth in the Women's Super League last season, United look to have hit the ground running this time around under boss Marc Skinner.

They started the campaign perfectly, recording four straight wins without conceding over West Ham, Everton, Liverpool and Tottenham.

Their winning run was ended by Brighton last time out, meaning United went into the international break in third.

Only Manchester City and Chelsea sit above them and they have the added bonus of having a game in hand on most of their rivals.

United should be a tough nut to crack at home, having won both of their games in front of their own fans.

Arsenal have avoided defeat against United since April 2023, and the Gunners are still searching for a permanent boss since Jonas Eidevall left after the 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on October 12th.

Interim coach Renee Slegers has restored some confidence in the group, though, thanks to back-to-back wins.

However, United look more settled out of the two teams and they should be able to at least pick up a share of the spoils.

Both teams to score - 4/5

United's success this season has been built on a strong defensive unit, with Skinner's team only conceding one goal all season.

Sunday's encounter will be his 100th in charge of the Red Devils and he looks like he has found the correct tactics to get the best out of his team defensively.

Their 3.95 expected goals against is only bettered by Arsenal's 3.56, but they have played one game fewer.

United's record is impressive, but it perhaps overlooks the fact they have yet to play any of the elite teams in the league.

Arsenal are considered one of those sides, and they have scored six goals in their last two matches.

Even though Eidevall resigned last month, Arsenal have only failed to score in two of their 11 competitive matches this season.

The Gunners have scored five goals in their last two games against United, including a 3-1 success in February at home.

Both teams will be refreshed and raring to go after the international break, so it would not come as a surprise to see them both find the back of the net.

Grace Clinton Over 0.5 shots on target - 5/4

United midfielder Grace Clinton is already being labelled a star of the future, having won the PFA Women's Young Player of the Year award in August 2024.

Clinton has performed at a high level as a box-to-box midfielder and has scored three goals in four games for United already this season.

In four games, she has had eight shots, with five of those hitting the target, meaning 62.5 per cent of her shots hit the target.

Clinton has averaged 2.05 shots per 90 minutes and her recent form suggests she could trouble Arsenal goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar.
