Manchester United V Arsenal

Dam it ive been mulling over this pick for ages and finally decided to go with it.

As an Arsenal fan im gutted with how the season has turned out for us. Tired legs I guess as the squad is just 3 – 4 players short of the real deal. However onto today and I just cant see us getting anything from the game. Flamini is out injured and he is a huge loss to the midfield battle. Fabregas looks dead on his feet at the moment and is badly due a good rest. Man Utd had the luxury of resting Ronaldo, Rooney and Scholes during the week demonstrating their squad dept and this will be crucial to their success today.

Old Trafford is a hard place to visit at the best of times and the Gunners were thumped 4 – 0 there in the FA Cup not so long ago. 15 wins from 17 is a remarkable stat and their dominance there. They have 6 clean sheets in the last 7 and the return of Gary Neville is a further boost to them.

Arsenals title challenge has all but gone in my opinion. People will say that there is still an outside chance but lots of results need to work in their favour and it just aint going to happen.

Recent poor results against Boro, Birmingham Wigan and Chelsea have done nothing for their confidence and mentally they look shattered.

Verdict

I feel like im rambling a little so il just cut to the chase. Man Utd will be fresher, more focused and have better attacking options for this game. If they want to then this could be a rout. Arsenals defence is shockingly poor at the moment and Senderos could be taken to the cleaners today
