" Well, this is the game of the season so far in the Premiership, and how the mighty have fallen! Man Utd come into this game on the back of a disappointing 0-0 draw in Prague in the CL, while Arsenal squandered the lead twice to draw 2-2 with Panithanaikos in Greece.

The return of Rio Ferdinand has been the key factor in Man Utd's climb up the league, and he will return for this game. For me however, Man Utd are still missing quality positions in some key areas and their recent results have shown this. They have drawn twice in their last four games at home, which includes a 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough and an awful 0-0 with Everton. Arsenal of course, are a class above these teams, and their away record is perfect - four wins out of four, averaging three goals for every trip and only conceding two goals! Alex Fergusons mind games have already started for this match, if we remember last seasons game, and the tackles will be flying in for this one. For me, Arsenal are the favourites for this game as the their scoring record is superb - if they can keep up with their average of three goals a game, I dont think Utd will score three against Arsenal's defence. It should be a great game, Utd have good strikers in Rooney, Smith and Saha, but Arsenal have equally good players in defence such as Sol Campbell, Ashley Cole, Lauren, and their records cannot be ignored. I think it is midfield where Arsenal have the edge - Viera does have an ankle injury but should play and Pires and Ljungberg are in good form - whereas Utd's players Giggs, Scholes, Keane, Kleberson and Fletcher are not playing to Arsenals standards at the moment - Im on Arsenal +0.5 @ 1.6 with Betfair [£20 free bet]. These are good odds considering the records of these two teams and considering Arsenal haven't been beaten in nearly 50 Premiership games - they should be snapped up! "I do however think the analogy fits, no doubt you have some good players, Charagher, Alonso, Gerrard, Sissokko, Bellamy (Kuyt as well I think but currently flattering to decieve) Finnan I also quite like but he doesn't seem to have a best team, and fiddling with it each week.

I don't understand why he doesn't pick his best 11 and play'em week in week out, change them when required (injuries & suspensions) and see what happens.we are playing quite well and in spells we do look very exciting.there is no doubt that we should of got a result yesterday but thats football.the only problem we appear to have is at left back.riise isnt really a full back and nor is aurellio imo. warnock doesnt improve there we will have to buy.suppose we could play carragher there (his best position btw) but i feel he is needed as a part of the central defense partnership.
( i feel carra with either agger/hypia is the way to go) only prob in midfield is pennant. is was absolute garbage yesterday. think he only played coz gonzales wasnt ready.kuyt and bellamy will get it right.
with crouch as super sub and fowler coming in for the leseer games and covering for injuries. things certainly are looking bright Looked exceptional yesterday and won everything in the air and most on the ground against psv.
21 as well what a talent.
