Manchester United will host Barclays Premier League table-toppers Arsenal in an exciting football tussle this weekend. The Red Devils will definitely go for a win to continue their good form in the domestic league and close the gap on the leaders.
After a dull draw against Real Sociedad in the Champions League fixture during mid-week, David Moyes will definitely be under pressure to deliver a positive result in this crucial home fixture. Unfortunately, United are at such a point in the season that even a single loss now will (almost) ensure we won't retain our title this season because Arsenal would be 11 points clear.
Gary Pallister has described this game as a 'titanic' tussle. While he is positive of United's chances against the Gunners and believes the Reds can handle the pressure because they must have learned from the early part of the season.
There is no doubt Arsenal have started this season positively and they are playing the best football at the moment. However, Wayne Rooney is confident the home team will beat Arsene Wenger's men and close the gap on the leaders.
Wazza said, “We're obviously capable of beating Arsenal, we've done it many times in the past. They're on a good run of form at the moment and are top of the league, so we know it's going to be a difficult game. But we have to go into that game confident, believing we can edge closer to them and bring us back into the mix of being at the top of the league.
I believe United will have to be very vigilant (especially in the midfield) because players like Ozil, Cazorla and Oxlade-Chamberlain are going to be the main threats posed by the Londoners. I hope Michael Carrick and Marouane Fellaini have a great game on Sunday and are successful in making things difficult for the Gunners.
Who do you think will trouble United more - Giroud, Ozil, Wilshere, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain, or Ramsey? Tweet us your thoughts: @ManUtdDugout
