Arsenal Vs Manchester United (1 - 2) On Sunday 22nd January 2012 by mukina2: 9:00am On Jan 20, 2012 |
Manchester United travels to London to take on Arsenal in one of the most anticipated games of the Premier League season. When the two clubs met earlier in the campaign, the Red Devils embarrassed the Gunners by racking up eight goals in a blowout victory. That previous matchup really served as a wake-up call for Arsenal. The Gunners have played a lot better since that clash, especially along the back line, and have worked their way back into the top five. They'll certainly be seeking some revenge on Sunday. As for the Red Devils, they are looking to get back on track after some shaky results over the past month. They are still just three points behind rival Manchester City for first place, which means the title chase is far from decided. United will need to find its early-season form quickly to stay close, though. Player to Watch for Arsenal: Robin van Persie - There aren't many players in the world that can match van Persie's form. It has reached a point where every time he touches the ball, you get the feeling it will end up in the net. He leads the Premiership with 18 goals in 21 games while also chipping in five assists. It was actually a van Persie miss that turned the first game on its head. He couldn't covert from the penalty spot in the 27th minute, which would have made the game 1-1. United proceeded to score a minute later to go up 2-0, and it was all downhill from there.It was actually a van Persie miss that turned the first game on its head. He couldn't covert from the penalty spot in the 27th minute, which would have made the game 1-1. United proceeded to score a minute later to go up 2-0, and it was all downhill from there. Player to Watch for Manchester United: Wayne Rooney - Rooney has once again served as United's main offensive threat this season, tallying 13 goals and three helpers in 19 games. He still lacks the consistency Sir Alex Ferguson would like to see from him and hasn't been as effective in the distribution aspect of the attack this season. For the Red Devils to pick up a road win, Rooney needs to be a dominant force up front. This is not a game where Manchester United can afford to see him to go missing for an extended period of time. From the opening whistle until the final one, Rooney will need to be the best player on the pitch. Key Matchup: Wojciech Szczesny vs. Anders Lindegaard It's hard to imagine this game getting out of control like last time, which means both goalkeepers will be under pressure to keep things tidy at the back. Szczesny was between the pipes for Arsenal during that debacle and wants to avoid a similar result this time around. The keeper situation is less clear for the Red Devils. David De Gea started the season as Ferguson's main man, but Lindegaard has seemingly taken over the No. 1 spot. Coming off a clean sheet against Bolton, the veteran manager will likely attempt to ride the hot hand to three more points. Match |

Re: Arsenal Vs Manchester United (1 - 2) On Sunday 22nd January 2012 by ujchief(m): 11:20am On Jan 20, 2012 |
Fergies posible formation, 4-5-1, Lindergard, evra, ferdinand, evans, rafael, nani, carick, giggs, park, valencia, rooney. Nani's drop in form is becoming a problem, wit valencia firin in the croses, arsenal wil hav a hard time keepin track of the ball. With a cohesive 5-man midfield, and hard working park runing all around the pitch, its goin to be a one way trafic for united |

^^ Henry is a major doubt for the game. He sustained an injury in training. |

a gunner,but with d no of squad players sidelined, makeshift defence and unperforming midfield, i FEAR 2MAO's game might just be a routine although considering the win that came out of nothing in this leg last season, all HOPE is not lost |

Re: Arsenal Vs Manchester United (1 - 2) On Sunday 22nd January 2012 by duduspace(m): 6:03am On Jan 22, 2012 |
Well, we are stuck with Arshavin today but I hope Arsene is right in saying Theo is back to the kinda form he was in earlier in the season. The Song/Ramsey/Benayoun combo didn't seem to work well at Swansea so maybe Rosicky can get some life back into his legs. If we can keep Nani and Rooney quiet and not make stupid mistakes at the back, we can nick this. COYG. |

Looks like Alex Oxlade Chamberlain will start! If so, then I am happy and confident. And lets hope the referee behaves himself today. |
