Man Utd have not lost a league match this season and will be looking to be top after the Arsenal game.Comment -
I'll try to be objective in what should be a cracking match for top spot. First off, I do not wager on any United matches. So you've got Arsenal on top at the moment having won 4 straight away from the Emirates going to Old Trafford where United have yet to lose winning their last 4 at home...so somethings got to give . The neutrals would probably tell you that Arsenal are playing fantastic football (aren't they always compared to Barca?) and Nasri is in top form while United are a team in decline and Rooney isn't the same so it's easy to see why many would jump on Arsenal...at times watching United, I probably wouldn't blame them. For United to win this they'll need to close down spaces quickly especially in the midfield but I look for our players to boss the smaller Gunners around which proved successful in doing the double over them last season and we won't have to worry about Fabregas. I suspect United will play Carrick and Anderson to help contain Nasri which may be laughable but those who follow United know they've been some our better performers this season. I don't think we'll keep a clean sheet though as Arsenal will be able to counter on us and that's where we've been susceptible in conceding at times. Although he isn't scoring much, Rooney has played well lately and I think this is just the type of game where he can elevate and create alot of opportunities. United have not failed to score yet in any of their matches and I don't think Arsenal's back 4 will be able to keep us off the scoresheet.
In terms of historical info, Arsenal don't have a particular good record at Old Trafford, like most others. The Gunners have won just 15 of their last 90 league visits to OT and have not scored more than one goal there in the last 26 years. With the way Arsenal have been playing on the road and United at home, and where they both sit in the table, the easy out would be to say a draw, but I'm going to go with a narrow win for United (2-1) playing in front of the home crowd and the fact that their next game will be away at Stamford Bridge so taking all 3 pts would be ideal going into their next fixture. It's a statement game and I think United will find a way back on top of the table and prove critics wrong and Arsenal are due to drop points on the road. I just hope Evra's comments this week don't come back and bite him in the arse.
good luckComment -
If I had to place a wager on this match I would back a Manchester United win.
RedDevil11 sums it all up quite nicely. I don't see value on Arsenal (even at +330 at Pinny), but BOL it you choose to play it.Comment -
I like RedDevil's analysis. Good luck tomorrow!Comment -
Stay away game IMO. Line seems right.Comment -
Tough game to predict. I will probably go with over 2.5 goals. They are the best two attacking teams of the leagueComment -
Isnt the Over too easy? I backed it at -120 hoping it wouldnt go to 2.75. (5dimes)Comment -
Home advantage is huge in the EPL and Old Trafford is by far the hardest place to get a win for any team. Betting against Ferguson is like putting your money against an evil genius, he will find a way to exploit Arsenal like he usually does.
If Arsenal win it will be a last minute goal or a goal that they will have to hold on to till the last minute, IMO that is not worth +300, that's worth like +1000 and it will be +1000 once United get the first goal, maybe you should wait for that line if you wanna take them.Comment -
it has draw written all overComment -
yeah... it was... but nothing is 100%

Both to score? HmmComment -
Nani will tear Clichy apart. Nasri will be shut out the game. The also have a poor defensive partnership which will be run ragged by Rooney and Berba.
Arsenal generally don't match up well against United. There is a reason why United have won 4 of their last 5 meetings and Arsenal haven't won at Old Trafford in 4 years.
On top of that the Chilean miners will be guests of honour and Old Trafford and will be meeting all the players.Comment -
