We simulated Arsenal vs Manchester United to get a score prediction for Premier League clash

Manchester United face Arsenal on Saturday in what could be a crucial clash for both teams in their hunt for a top-four spot.

A dismal performance from United saw them thrashed 4-0 by Liverpool in their last outing, a result made even worse when top-four rivals Arsenal beat Chelsea 4-2 to open up a three-point gap between the two sides. United currently sit in sixth, three points off the top four, making this weekend's game a must-win.

With Arsenal having played one game less than United, a win for the Gunners would extend the gap between United and the top four to six points, and that could become nine if Arsenal win their game in hand. But, ahead of the game, Ralf Rangnick has been handed some positive injury news.

Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo have both returned to training this week, meaning the duo are in contention to play on Saturday. Paul Pogba may not feature again this season after coming off injured against Liverpool, leaving Fred, Edinson Cavani, Luke Shaw and the Frenchman as the only missing players.

So, what line-ups will both teams select? And, what could the final score be? To find out, we used FIFA 22 to get a score prediction for Arsenal vs United on Tuesday. This is what happened.

We used kick-off mode in FIFA 22, but didn't select a team to control, we then selected the teams and watched the match play out by itself to give us a score prediction.

We predict that Arsenal could set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Ramsdale; Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tavares; Elneny, Xhaka, Odegaard; Saka, Nketiah, Smith Rowe.

And we predicted that United could set up in a 4-2-3-1
