Former Liverpool defender-turned-pundit Mark Lawrenson has given his prediction for the match, stating that it will be a 1-1 draw.

The Gunners head into the match on the back of a crucial 4-2 win over Chelsea on Wednesday, April 20, at Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, the Red Devils were hammered 4-0 by Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday, April 19.

Lawrenson also spoke about Manchester United’s injury issues and the disarrayed team. He said:

He added:

Manchester United need to win against Arsenal to have any chance of finishing in the top 4

Manchester United are currently sixth in the Premier League table, three points below fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur and fifth-placed Arsenal. They have played one more match than their rivals as well.

Hence, the Red Devils cannot afford to leave the Emirates with anything less than a win. A victory will be important not just for the fourth spot but also for any European spot this season.

Manchester United are being chased by seventh-placed West Ham United, who are just two points below them.
