Arsenal, may be without Arshavin their hottest player right now. But they will have their full attention on this match. The UCL is the only title left for them this season. The gunners lost to Man U only once at home in their past 10 matches (4 wins 5 Draws). Wenger will have them well planned and well rested. The gunners were dominated by Man U in Old Trafford but only lost by a goal, of which came from a lucky ass 5-yard O'Shea's strike. They also seemed to get themselves together in the last part of the game pushing for goal.
The gunners will have RvP back as well and it should be a big boost, something that was missing in game 1. Man U come with their unusual 4-5-1 game plan with returning Ferdinand defending the gate. Obviously the plan will be to defend first and then counter attack, like what Chelsea did against Barca.
My advice: Be real careful with the under 2.5 goals bet, people. If there's an early score, you might as well see a 4-4 game again (J/K), lol. Also, these two went 5-1, O-U in their last 6 against each other
My take: Arsenal will not lose
Pick: Taking the Gunners at home against the red hot Man U. at pick +102 for 3 units
Draw +230 .5 unit
note: will check the starting line ups again tomorrow
Man U. using Anderson and Fletcher in the middle instead of Scholes and Giggs. I expect this, like many other 2nd leg games, to be a very open game as well.
Adding over 2.5 Goals at +123 1 unit
