Manchester United V Arsenal betting preview

Manchester United V Arsenal – Saturday 12:45

With United riding their luck on countless times this season, they have now put themselves on the verge of winning an 18th league title and were they to do so, would match the record set by Liverpool. Arsenal could spoil the United celebrations with a win though, but with United getting the better of them at the Emirates a fortnight ago, you would have to fancy the home side to get the result they require to win the Premiership.

After yet another comeback from ‘The Red Devils’ last Wednesday. Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United are now on the verge of winning back-to-back Premiership titles. In fact, it would be their eleventh Premiership title which would be an incredible feat. They are well on course though and it would take a minor miracle for United to lose control, with ‘the reds’ needing just a single point from their two remaining fixtures.
        Just Arsenal and Hull City remain for United and we can’t see either beating ‘The Red Devils’. They haven’t been playing too well in all fairness but like great champions do. They get the right result time and time again. They’ve won their previous six league games and despite several scares, they have still yet relinquish control of top spot. Arsenal should be a tricky encounter for United but with the title just 90 minutes away. I expect Fergie to field a very strong side in a bid to rest several for the Hull game the following week.

With no domestic final in sight and fourth position now a certainty. Arsene Wenger can now only look forward to next season and he will certainly be greatly for this year’s campaign to come to an end after what has been arsenal’s most disappointing season for some time. Their 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Chelsea last weekend just summed up a dreadful year for ‘The Gunners’ and you have to think that United’s hunger for the title will get them through, what does look on paper, a tricky fixture.
          Credit where credits due. Arsenal have still been a very tough side to get the better off this term. Although their weekend defeat at The Emirates was an embarrassing scoreline but their performance didn’t fairly reflect how the game panned out and it’s also worth noting that the defeat against Chelsea was their first in the league in twenty-one games. That’s an incredible run and Fergie will be fully aware that Arsenal can turn on the style and beat absolutely anyone on their day.
