Arsenal vs Manchester United
Who could forget the Battle of the Buffet?! 2004 was the year when tempers flared in the tunnel and someone intentionally wizzed a slice of pizza and hit Sir Alex Ferguson.
Arsenal against Manchester United has always been a feisty affair but that match 13 years ago, to my knowledge, was the only time food was thrown. Was the pastry hurler Cesc Fabregas? Well that’s not one for football betting right now. The current crop of Gunners and Red Devils have quite enough on their plates.
United started the Premier League season with great optimism as reflected in the opening title betting odds. But now, they find themselves struggling to stop an eight point gap to the top widening. Meanwhile, as Arsenal fans try to convince themselves they’re in a title race, a top four spot is more realistic and by no means guaranteed.
The two teams are in similar good form, three-match winning runs following a defeat, and the key to who carries on winning lies in the United rearguard’s ability to keep the Gunners at bay. Alexandre Lacazette limped off in their big midweek win against Huddersfield and that’s a blow for Arsenal. However, in Alexis Sanchez they carry a constant threat.
United won well at Watford on Tuesday and the re-appearances of Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have almost put a smile of Jose Mourinho’s face. Will we see another at the weekend?
Well, Arsene Wenger and Jose have never liked each other; they haven’t even tolerated each other. So, like in any big game, the only thing that matters is the result.
