Sutton’s predictions: Arsenal v Man Utd

Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches again this season, against a variety of guests.

His opponent for this weekend’s fixtures is actor and comedian David Earl, star of new film Apocalypse Clown and Manchester United fan.

Sutton’s prediction: 2-1

Both these teams I think performance-wise have underachieved albeit Arsenal have seven points from nine and Manchester United have six from nine.

I think there are question marks over whether Mikel Arteta has been tinkering too much, legitimate questions really. Manchester United just haven’t sparked yet. They ended up beating Nottingham Forest with a dubious penalty.

Arsenal, at Emirates Stadium – this is going to be the kick-start to their season. I think they’ll beat Manchester United but I don’t think it’ll be a walkover.

David’s prediction: I’m a big fan of Erik ten Hag, he is still building his team, but he seems to be doing all the right things. I hate to say it, but I think Arsenal will edge this one – we will beat them at our place though! 3-2
