"I am sure". Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Manchester United vs Arsenal

  Manchester United will host Arsenal in the Premier League on Thursday, December 2. Red Devils are currently 8th in the league table with 18 points, meanwhile, the Gunners are 5th with 23 points. During the weekend, United played a 1-1 draw with Chelsea, meanwhile, the Gunners celebrated a 2-0 victory over Newcastle. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction.

I liked what stand-in Manchester United boss Michael Carrick did against Chelsea on Sunday, with Nemanja Matic, Fred and Scott McTominay screening the defence and the whole team working extremely hard.   United still don't look right at the back but a point at Stamford Bridge was a step in the right direction and, if Aaron Wan-Bissaka hadn't had a rush of blood, they might have taken away all three.   Surely they will build on that improvement and, whether Ralf Rangnick is in the Old Trafford dugout or watching from the stands, I am sure we will see more of the same against Arsenal.   The Gunners got back to winning ways against Newcastle, and created loads of chances in that game, but United playing at home in front of their new manager will have something to prove.
