Man Utd vs Arsenal prediction, team news & bet builder tips
Both teams to score and Manchester United to win - 6/1 Bet365 Bryan Mbuemo to score - 17/5 BetVictor Manchester United kick off their Premier League season on Sunday, taking on Arsenal in the late kick-off, as they look to make a huge improvement on last season. The Red Devils, who have won the title 20 times, finished 15th in May, 32 points behind Sunday's opponents and 42 behind the Champions Liverpool, which is the same as the number of points they picked up from their 38 games. Boss Ruben Amorim only took charge in November, and it was anything but a dream start to life at Old Trafford, winning just 16 of his 42 games in charge, but after spending just shy of £200m, he will be confident of a huge improvement this time around. The Gunners would also love an improvement on their league position after finishing as runners-up for the last three seasons; the last time they bettered that was back in 2003/04, when they won the last of their 13 league titles. United have actually been champions more recently, winning their last title back in 2012/13. Mikel Arteta has spent a similar amount as Amorim, bringing in five players, including strikers Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres, who he hopes can take them to the next step. Gyokeres was long linked with a move to Old Trafford to link up with his former Sporting manager, but instead, after scoring 57 goals in 49 appearances last season, he joined Arsenal for £64m. Man Utd vs Arsenal tips: United to get off to a flying start According to the Premier League winner odds, Arsenal are second favourites behind Liverpool, while United are fifth in the betting behind City and Chelsea. You can also get 15/4 on United finishing in the Premier League top four odds, while the Gunners are 1/5. The first game of the season is always hard to predict, but this is the perfect fixture for both sides to see where they're at. United have lost just two of their last 18 home league games against Arsenal, winning 10 and drawing six; however, both of those defeats have occurred since Arteta took charge. A win on Sunday would be the Reds' 100th over Arsenal in all competitions. They have met 243 times with United winning 99, Arsenal 89 and 55 draws, and a victory this weekend would make them the first ever team to beat Arsenal 100 times. Football betting sites have installed Arsenal as favourites, while United are home underdogs in the latest Premier League odds. The visitors have scored in each of their last 11 away league games at Old Trafford, which could make a compelling case for targeting a score draw. An even bolder bet would be to take the 6/1 odds on both teams to score and United to win. United's biggest issue last season was scoring goals with just 44 league goals but the signing of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko should certainly fix that problem. Man Utd vs Arsenal betting: Mbeumo to shine on debut Former Brentford striker Mbeumo scored the first goal in 10 different games last season, on his way to scoring 21 goals for club and country, including against Arsenal in a 3-1 defeat. He also scored in the first minute in two consecutive games against Tottenham and West Ham, and he would no doubt love to get his United career off to a flying start. Betting sites are offering 10/1 on him doing it again on Sunday, you can also get 11/1 on him scoring last, but we like the price for him to score anytime on his Old Trafford bow. Man Utd vs Arsenal prediction 2: Bryan Mbuemo to score anytime - 17/5 BetVictor Man Utd vs Arsenal team news Man Utd vs Arsenal betting offers Betfred are offering existing customers the chance to claim £10 in free bets after placing a £10 bet builder on Man Utd vs Arsenal or any Premier League match across the opening weekend of the season.

Betting can be addictive and it's important to stay in control of your betting. Never treat gambling as a way to make money, never bet more than you can afford and when the fun stops, stop. Gambling sites offer punters tools, like deposit limits, profit and loss trackers and self-exclusion options, to help them stay in control. But if you ever feel like you need help or advice on gambling addiction, don't hesitate to contact one of the charities or organisations below.

Ruben Amorim's past and present collide with Gyokeres vs Sesko battle
Ruben Amorim has spent £200m on a new forward line. He will see the player who may be the greatest advertisement for his management on the pitch on Sunday. Just not in a Manchester United shirt. Amorim's alchemy is not apparent in Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo or Matheus Cunha. Not yet, anyway. But a reunion with the Arsenal debutant Viktor Gyokeres provides a comparison with Sesko, the striker he did purchase this summer. For both clubs, really, given that Arsenal's choice boiled down to the Slovenian and the Swede. They opted for the man transformed into one of Europe's hottest properties by Amorim. For United, it is an assessment of a centre-forward who has spent a week working with Amorim against one who had 16 months under his tutelage. Gyokeres scored 65 goals for the Portuguese coach in a season and a third at Sporting CP. Without that, Sesko's bow at Old Trafford on Sunday could have been for Arsenal. It wasn't a direct choice between the two for United. Amorim admires Gyokeres but they always felt his preference was to go to Arsenal. They concentrated on attainable targets. And so, instead of briefing Bruno Fernandes on how to find Gyokeres, Amorim will be using his knowledge of the striker to try and prepare Harry Maguire, Leny Yoro and co to stop him. Gyokeres is the senior figure: 27 years old to Sesko's 22, with six seasons on the books of English clubs to none. But no Premier League appearances: his only games for Brighton came in the cups. He was loaned to Swansea and Coventry, before being sold to the latter. He scored 22 goals in his last season in the Midlands. And then, transformed by Amorim, 97 in 102 games for Sporting. Amorim preferred to credit the club for the inspired decision to buy Gyokeres; indeed recruitment was headed by Hugo Viana, now Manchester City's director of football. 'In Sporting they have a very good group of scouting because they live from that, from the players they can buy and sell to survive,' he explained. Yet if he thinks the Premier League poses a new challenge for arrivals from both Germany and Portugal – 'it is a different league, the physicality is different,' he said – he alluded to Arsenal's longstanding lack of a genuine No 9 or prolific goalscorer. 'He is a very good player. He is going to give [them] different characteristics. It is going be different if it is Viktor or [Kai] Havertz [in attack] so we need to be prepared for that but it is not a surprise to see Viktor at a big club in England.' Or Sesko, given Arsenal's lengthy pursuit of him and Newcastle's bid for him. If the price RB Leipzig had long quoted, of €100m, was off-putting, it was notable that Arsenal got Gyokeres cheaper, at £54m, than United acquired Sesko, for an initial £66.3m. Add-ons could take the deal to £73.7m, or €85m. It makes him costlier even than Cunha and Mbeumo. Amorim did not shy away from the size of the fee. And yet, if Gyokeres is bought to be the finished article, Sesko is a work in progress. 'He's going to learn but he has great potential,' Amorim said. 'I can see Ben being a striker for Manchester United for a lot of years. That is why we pay so much money to have a striker that will have his history in our club.' Sesko could be United's No 9 for a decade. Yet the same was said two years ago of Rasmus Hojlund. Now he may be farmed out on loan to AC Milan. The Dane, a £72m buy, went unused in last week's friendly against Fiorentina when Mason Mount played as a false nine. Hojlund's form was mixed before Amorim's arrival but he delivered far more for Erik ten Hag. If Gyokeres is the advertisement for the Portuguese's management, Hojlund is the indictment of it. Amorim could have cited Gyokeres in his sales pitch to Sesko; he presumably did not mention Hojlund. For now, however, United can concentrate on Sesko. First impressions have been positive. 'He is always thinking about football, he's really obsessed about that and that is a good thing,' smiled Amorim. 'You don't have to think about that aspect with that young guy. I don't need to tell Ben: 'Ben, this is Manchester United, a lot of pressure, you have to perform, you need to be ready for the physicality…' With that guy I don't have that concern. I have the opposite: enjoy [it] a little bit.' United hope they will enjoy Sesko's stay; his history, as Amorim put it. If a player who scored 13 league goals last season is one for the future, a man who got 39 is bought for the here and now, for a title challenge. 'I can only say how happy we are to have him,' said Arteta of Gyokeres. 'He is going to have a tremendous impact in the team and his adaptation has been really, really good. It's for us creating the right context for Viktor to do what he does the best, which is to score goals.' And in large numbers. For the forward Arsenal could have signed and the attacker they did, a debut goal would feel auspicious. It has been the summer of the striking buy in the Premier League. Amorim shaped one and signed another. And on Sunday, he could be harmed by his past or revelling in his present.

Paloma Faith shows her support for Anne-Marie after singer bravely opens up about post-natal depression battle following birth of her second child
Paloma Faith has shown her support for new mum and fellow singer Anne-Marie after she opened up about her battle with post-natal depression. The pop star, 34, who already shares daughter Seven, 18 months, with her rapper husband Slowthai, welcomed a beautiful baby boy in May, took to Instagram on Friday with a tease of her powerful new track titled Depression, which she said was inspired by 'how she was feeling at the moment'. Sat in the studio looking effortlessly stylish, Anne-Marie introduced the song and told followers that she was wearing make-up for the first time in eight month. The lyrics said: 'It's funny how I feel fine but I'm depressed / I look so pretty but I'm a mess / I think I'm immune to happiness oh why'. 'Isn't it funny how I wanna be brave but I'm terrified / to get myself dressed and go outside / I say I'm ok, I'm fine all jokes aside / but if I don't laugh I'll cry'. A fans rushed to the comments to show their support, Paloma, 44, who shares two daughters with her ex-partner Leyman Lahcine, said: 'Post partum depression is REALLLLLLLL took me 2 years after both! Hang the f**k in there honey'. The pop star, 34, took to Instagram on Friday with a tease of her powerful new track titled Depression, which she said was inspired by 'how she was feeling at the moment' Last month Anne-Marie revealed her head has been 'all over the place' over the last two years but thanked her family for getting herself through her mental struggles. The star revealed that she suffered from both post-natal depression and post-natal anxiety after the birth of Seven. Up to 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men develop mental health problems such as depression or anxiety during pregnancy, or in the first year after childbirth. In May Ann-Marie to Instagram to announce the arrival of her son as she gushed: 'Another beautiful little thing has entered our lives hello everyone'. She shared an adorable snap of the new born wrapped in a teddy bear printed blanket and matching hat. Anne-Marie also shared some behind the scene snaps from the labour as she posed on all fours as she showcased her baby bump in a white bralette and brown tracksuit bottoms. The star kept her hair out of her face as she pulled it back in eye catching red plaits while sharing her final pregnant selfie. Anne-Marie looked to have a comfortable stay in hospital as she also posted a clip of her meals which included burger and chips, soup, salmon and a chocolate cake. Last month Anne-Marie revealed her head has been 'all over the place' over the last two years but thanked her family for getting herself through her mental struggles Just weeks earlier she revealed she was expecting a baby boy as she enjoyed a baby shower with the Capital Breakfast team. The star, who even teased the name of her son, revealed she would be 'done' after her second baby as she will have both a girl and a boy. Chatting about her pregnancy, host Sian Welby asked: 'Do you know what you're having?' as Anne-Marie confirmed: 'Yeah'. Sian added: 'Oh Okay, we'll try not let you slip up then.' Yet the expectant mother didn't mind doing an unexpected gender reveal as she confirmed she was having a boy. 'That's so exciting!' added Sian as Chris Stark asked: 'So, one of each?' and Anne-Marie confirmed: 'I know and then I'm done.' Confirming she had picked a name, Sian asked: 'What is harder choosing a name for your children or your albums?' Anne-Marie explained: 'Probably choosing a name because Seven is so unique so we can't just call him Barry'. In 2020 Paloma bravely spoke about her own battle with postnatal depression and how she struggle to adapt to being a mother. The singer revealed that she had expected to take to motherhood 'like a duck to water' but the reality was a rude awakening. She told the Mirror: 'And then I had my baby and lots of things went wrong and I was sadder than I've ever been before and I felt broken, largely by the disappointment that I wasn't the mother that I thought I'd be.' The Picking Up the Pieces singer revealed that it took time for a bond to develop with her child, who she conceived via IVF with her partner Leyman Lahcine. She was so distressed that she began questioning whether she had given birth to another couple's baby fearing a mix up at the IVF clinic. Paloma said: 'I started emailing doctors saying, 'Is there any way you might have put the wrong embryo in me?' But now you can see it, our child exactly looks like us.' WHAT IS POSTNATAL DEPRESSION? Postnatal depression is a form of the mental-health condition that affects more than one in 10 women in the UK and US within a year of giving birth. As many men can be affected as women, research suggests. Many parents feel down, teary and anxious within the first two weeks of having a child, which is often called the 'baby blues'. But if symptoms start later or last longer, they may be suffering from postnatal depression. Postnatal depression is just as serious as others form of the mental-health disorder. Symptoms include: Persistent sadness Lack of enjoyment or interest in the wider world Fatigue Insomnia Struggling to bond with your baby Withdrawing from others Difficulty concentrating and making decisions Frightening thoughts, such as hurting your baby Sufferers should not wait for their symptoms to just go away. Instead they should recognise that it is not their fault they are depressed and it does not make them a bad parent. If you or your partner may be suffering, talk to your GP or health visitor. Treatments can include self-help, such as talking to loved ones, resting when you can and making time to do things you enjoy. Therapy may also be prescribed. In severe cases where other options have not helped, antidepressants may be recommended. Doctors will prescribe ones that are safe to take while breastfeeding. Postnatal depression's cause is unclear, however, it is more common in those with a history of mental-health problems. Lack of support from loved ones, a poor relationship with the partner and a life-changing event, such as bereavement, can also raise the risk.
