English Premier League Game Preview -- Arsenal vs Manchester United

 

 

Pick:1x2   Arsenal @2.05

 

Analysis:

Arsenal and Manchester United resume hostilities in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon at the Emirates, in a contest that may make or break both clubs' top-four hopes.

 

Arsenal

With a thrilling 4-2 victory against Chelsea on midweek, the Gunners revived their Champions League hopes. Arsenal still hold fourth place, with Arteta's side behind Tottenham Hotspur on goal differential ahead of what appears to be a crucial North London derby on May 12. Despite losing back-to-back home games to Liverpool and Brighton, Arsenal still has the third-best record in the division with 32 points on home soil.

 

Manchester United

In a 4-0 loss to Liverpool, Ralf Rangnick's squad surrendered. On goal difference, the squad slid below Arsenal into sixth place, and a loss at the Emirates would put them six points below their North London rivals despite having played one more game. Man United have won just two of their previous seven Premier League games, losing each of their last three away from home.

 

Prediction

Man United's shaky backline might be in for a hard ride against Arteta's side if Arsenal's new- look side can generate similar levels of incisiveness as they did against Chelsea, and we can only see the Gunners completely destroying the Red Devils' top-four ambitions while giving theirs a big boost.
