Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We're ruling out a bore-draw or a slim 1-0 win here, and instead are tipping over 1.5 goals. That means that Arsenal and Man Utd will score at least 2 between them during 90 mins. It's a prediction based on form stats for each side, as well as historical records when they go head-to-head. We give it a probability of 76%. The bookmakers have it at 1.25.

Goal Statistics

Arsenal's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday afternoon, not least because Manchester United have conceded in each of their last 7 FA Cup matches. A PG of 1.9 for Mikel Arteta's side suggests that run should continue.

Arsenal's defensive record is very strong, Mikel Arteta's men having conceded 1 or less in 7 consecutive FA Cup games. An average PG rating of 1.0 for Manchester United makes sense in this context.
