^said "Cesc_is_God" ...hmmmm, anyway the Chelsea result changes alot of things Arsenal will now fall behind of 3rd place if they don't win, we on the other hand will leave at worst 6 points clear. I think alot of United fans would have settled for the status quo to remain after this weekend. As such all pressure is nowon arsenal to perform should be a good match.

i can see from your statement that you are biased. the pressure is on arsenal to win but united would come out tops. i am not a man unied or arsenal fan/supporter, but i am too optimistic united would be the first team to beat arsenal at the emirates.

No I don’t think it will be a walk in the park for either teambut to be honest I think we’ll win. I’m not sat here in London for nothing, I believe we can and will get at least a point out of this match. When we played you in September we were missing gigs vds, rooney and scholes had just comeback from suspensions. So with a fully fit squad I think we can win, especially with assets such as larrson. Anyway come on united!!!

it was a typo error. i am not American, i am from West Africa where the preiership games are followed religiously. Arsenal has the largest fan base in West Africa followed by Chelsea before Man United. they expect arsenal to win today, ut i think United would take all three points

I honestly believe that today's game could be a classic. Both teams play football the way it should be played (in the eyes of this idealist, anyway). Brian Clough famously said that if football was supposed to be a long-ball game, god would have put grass on the clouds. These 2 teams like to pass instead of play it long, and entertainment is guaranteed as a result. The result of the game might hinge on a moment of magic, but the number of candidates is huge - Henry, Ronaldo, Van Persie (if fit), Giggs, Fabregas, Rooney, etc. I'm a United fan, but games like this one are for football fans everywhere to cherish!

Well yes we've had a few 'classic' games between these 2 over the years, but not always for the right reasons.

Hopefully knowing that we'll be 6 points clear even if we lose, whereas Arsenal need to push hard for the second C-league spot, it will work in Uniteds favour today.

United are at full capacity which is always good, keeps everyone on their toes, so I'm expecting nothing less than a hard fought draw, and hopefully a classy win for the league leaders.

That said, the FACup final 2 years ago was as boring as they come, so its perm any 1 from several potential outcomes.

the score of this game is unpredictable such as every big game betwen two clubs but to be honest united got the edge united are much better defensively at the moment at the midfield fabregas is good thats right but i dont think he can match scholes yet + gilberto is missing + ronaldo is in such amazin form ... conclusion i think man united are the better team at the moment but still big games are always unpredictable

I'm very concerned about Arsenal. It only takes 1 slip forma fullback to let Arsenal in. I'm not even entirely convinced about the way we are playing. Arsenals warm up game was playing 10 v 11 against Blackburn mostly without Gilberto and c ame away with a 2-0 win. We played against a poor Villa side. I usually think this plays a part in it.

As a Liverpool supporter not sure who I want to win todays game. It's sure to be a great game, but if you win we'll be 14 pts behind you and 4 pts infront of Arse nal. If they win they'll be only 1 pt behind us.
Maybe a draw would be best, 3 pts ahead of Arse nal and 12 pts behind you.But that's still 4 games points. Hard isn't it?

As an arsenal fan im just really keen to see a good game of football today. Obviously i'd absolutely love it if arsenal came out tops however either way Arsenal Vs United is always game of the season.

considering arsenal just handed the european champions 2 beatings in a row its a little premature to predict a manu win i think. Henry is rested and in form. Gonna tear up that red defence.

Arsenal 2 Man u 1....... Man u have more to lose than Arsenal henry is back and is shooting on target can,t say the same for rooney though everyone seems to believe in him but himself let,s hope the goal scoring drought continues with him.....
It,s not too late foe Arsenal!!!! if they win this one you never know look what liverpol did to chelsea!!!
Acouple of games here and there and your only talking a few points instead of 14......
