Arsenal may have drawn blanks in back-to-back Premier League games, but in and among those matches, they've played out entertaining cup wins over Portsmouth (4-1), Chelsea (3-2), and Inter Milan (3-1).

Seven of Arsenal’s last nine matches in all competitions have seen both teams score, including four of their last five at the Emirates.

Manchester United’s recent fixtures have been even more goal-heavy, with BTTS landing in 13 of their last 16 league and cup games, as well as each of their last nine away from home.

Crucially for this selection, goals tend to come in clusters when United travel. Eight of those recent away matches have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, a pattern that also applies to six of Arsenal’s last eight in all competitions, which making BTTS & Over 2.5 goals a strong angle here at 11/10 with BOYLE Sports.

There are many appealing options in the anytime goalscorer market, given the abundance of high-quality attackers in both sides, but Declan Rice at 4/1 with BOYLE Sports stands out as a price worth taking.

Rice, who has arguably been the player of the season so far, has added a real attacking edge to his game, registering 12 goal involvements in all competitions. He underlined that threat earlier this month with a superb brace in the 3–2 win away at Bournemouth.

The matchup also suits him. Rice has been directly involved in four goals in his last five league appearances against Manchester United, scoring twice during that run, making him a strong candidate to get on the scoresheet once again.
