It’s no secret that the biggest fixture in European football this weekend is Manchester United versus Arsenal. The two Premier League giants are set to square off at Old Trafford this afternoon in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.
While both teams have rich histories and passionate fanbases, their contrasting current form adds an extra layer of intrigue to this showdown.
Manchester United, who find themselves languishing in an unimaginable 14th place on the league table, are desperate to climb into the top half.
Arsenal, on the other hand, will be playing for pride. With a 14-point gap between them and league leaders Liverpool, it seems unlikely that the Gunners will snatch the title this season. However, they can still make it tough for Liverpool to seal the league and aim for a strong finish.
The Gunners are expected to be without some of their finest attacking options, including Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli.
Yet, after demolishing Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven 7-1 earlier in the week, Arsenal have shown that they are capable of finding goals even without key players. Their confidence will surely be high heading into Sunday’s game.
Manchester United, however, have struggled on both ends of the pitch. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven consecutive matches and have only scored nine goals this season—a tally that explains their difficulties in climbing the table.
With Arsenal’s solid defense and United’s lack of firepower, the Gunners may only need to replicate their “PSV effectiveness” to secure a result.
Yet in our previous encounters this season we struggled to break them down and had to rely on set pieces to claim the victory in the league. And in the cup they again made it very difficult for us taking the game to penalties which they won.
So don't expect an easy game for Arsenal.
The suggested lineup for Arsenal remains unchanged from Tuesday’s triumphant outing:
Raya
Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly
Partey, Rice, Odegaard
Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard
If Arsenal manage to beat Manchester United on Sunday, they will make Premier League history as the first club to defeat the Red Devils five times in a row in the PL. With such a record on the line, both teams will be motivated to leave everything on the pitch.
Are you confident in Arsenal’s chances of extending their dominance over United?
