"Robin van Persie has scored in each of the last five meetings between these two teams."
Best Bet: Back van Persie to score @ 2.767/4
The Opta stats give Michael Lintorn the impression that this will be a fruitful trip for Man United and Robin van Persie...
Arsenal v Man United, Wednesday 19:45, BT Sport 1, Match Odds: Arsenal 2.245/4, Man United 3.613/5, The Draw 3.55n/a
Arsenal have won just one of the last 10 Premier League games against Man United (W1 D2 L7)
The first instinct is to discredit this trend by noting that this season's Man United are a different animal to the one that contested most of those clashes. However, Arsenal came up short against David Moyes' version in the autumn while in full flow, and are more vulnerable now after dropping points in two of their last three league matches. Man United have only lost two of their last seven visits to the Emirates, while Arsenal have won just twice in seven attempts against top-seven rivals.
Recommended Bet: Lay Arsenal to win @ 2.265/4
Man United have only failed to score in one of their last 24 Premier League away games
The reason why the champions have failed to win 11 of the aforementioned matches despite netting persistently is that they are almost as consistent at allowing goals down the end, keeping two clean sheets in 15 away attempts. With Arsenal scoring in all bar two of their 25 league games and Man United getting among the goals in each of their last five jousts with the Gunners - bagging 14 in total in that sequence - Wojciech Szczesny and David de Gea can expect a busy evening.
Recommended Bet: Back both teams to score @ 1.664/6
Robin van Persie has scored in each of the last five meetings between these two teams
This fixture is primarily an RVP derby because of his affiliation with both teams and controversial move between the two, but he has exploited the spotlight afforded to him by firing in the last five encounters, three times for Man United and twice for Arsenal. The two-time Premier League top scorer has returned from injury in imperious form, striking in three successive appearances, and has notched in seven of his last eight Premier League outings.
Best Bet: Back van Persie to score @ 2.767/4
