The Premier League serves up a tasty looking nine-course fixture menu on New Year’s Day, with Arsenal’s late kick-off against Man Utd at the Emirates the piece de resistance.
Incredibly, the Gunners have won only one of their last 15 competitive games ahead of the visit of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s youthful United outfit, and fresh managerial appointment Mikel Arteta hasn’t yet been able to inspire a change of fortunes for his new employers.
United travel to the capital in buoyant mood after successive top-flight triumphs against Newcastle and Burnley respectively, though the inconsistency the Red Devils have shown this season means that previous results are rarely a reliable indicator for what’s to come.
What we do know for sure, is that encounters between Arsenal and Manchester United always deliver the goods in terms of drama and entertainment, and to help you get in the mood for Wednesday’s showpiece contest, we’ve put together a cracking looking customised selection for the game with bet365’s Bet Builder.
Make sure to take a look at the rest of our in depth Premier League predictions and betting tips too!
What is bet365’s Bet Builder?
Bet Builder allows you create the bet YOU want on any football match. You can choose from a list of the most popular markets and once you have added them to your bet, you can calculate the odds from your customised selection.
For example, you could combine first goalscorer, both teams to score, the total number of corners and the full-time result to create one single bet with the price for your multi-part selection.
You can add up to 6 separate markets to your Bet Builder selection, and your odds will update automatically each time you add a new selection.
Once you are finished and happy with your selections, select the price displayed on the Bet Builder slip and your unique bet will be added to your bet slip.
