Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Arsenal vs Manchester United

Arsenal will host Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday, January 30. Currently, the Gunners are on a six league game unbeaten run, meanwhile, United, who are 2nd in the league table, suffered a 2-1 defeat to Sheffield United on Wednesday. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction. "I am looking forward to seeing how new signing Martin Odegaard slots into the Arsenal midfield, because he is arriving at a good moment. "They have been playing really well of late, ignoring their FA Cup defeat at Southampton last weekend when Mikel Arteta picked a weakened team. "Manchester United were poor in their defeat against Sheffield United on Wednesday, and we have seen that sort of home performance from them too often this season. "Away from home they have been much better, but the Gunners beat them at Old Trafford in November and I have a feeling they will take the three points at Emirates Stadium too." Lawrenson's score prediction: 2-1  source - BBC
