- Elo ratings: Manchester United 1700 vs Arsenal 1784 (gap ~85).
- Manchester United gets a home-venue bump.
- high data quality — Manchester United 119 matches of history, Arsenal 119. Both clubs have a full record in this competition, so the ratings are well-established. The result is still inherently uncertain.
- Built from locked pre-match data: long-run team ratings, nudged only within tight caps by real, confirmed factors (never a guess) — see every one below.
