Both Arsenal and Manchester United have an awful lot to prove after their last Premier League fixtures.
The Gunners, who have ridden so high for most of the season, suffered an embarrassing 5-1 defeat against Liverpool on Saturday. Arsene Wenger's men are now one point behind Chelsea in second, while their upcoming opponents are nowhere to be seen in the title race.United, if you haven't heard, are 15 points off the Premier League summit. After the Red Devils' recent 2-2 draw with Fulham—another match that saw David Moyes' side throw away points by conceding a late goal—seventh is looking generous.
As this season has proven, anything can happen when Arsenal meet United at the Emirates on Feb. 12. Let's take a look at the latest quotes, key battles and try to predict who will come out on top.
United have suffered defeat in their last two away matches, but they will be pleased to spend some time away from Old Trafford. The Theatre of Dreams has become a cauldron of pressure for the Premier League champions, who have won just two of their last six domestic games.
Moyes' squad have shown nothing to highlight they will turn this around. Fourth spot is looking extremely unlikely, as United will have to prepare for next season's absence from the Champions League. Arsenal can confirm this with a win, while also placing their title charge firmly back on track.
One other thing: expect a hostile reaction for RVP, who celebrated wildly when he scored against his former club in this season's earlier clash. The Dutchman has netted in all three games vs. Arsenal since joining United but don't expect him to do the same this time round.
ovide supporters with hope ahead of a crucial few weeks.
I GUESS MY PREDICTION WOULD BE ARSENAL2>1MAN UTD.................GUNNERS TILL THE NEXT WORLD............BUT IF WE STILL LOSE .....I STILL BE GUNNER OO....LOL
