Manchester United - Ready for Arsenal?

 

What's the first thing you think of when you hear Manchester United vs. Arsenal? Most people think of rivalry, hatred, clashes with the stars, the giant's fight, and some just think good football.

Well, the big question on everyone's lips is whether Manchester United are ready to face the dangerous Arsenal side. เลื่อนแข่งพรีเมียร์ at the top of the English Premier League table, but United still have a game in hand against Blackpool, which was postponed due to snow on the pitch at Old Trafford.

Manchester United started slowly this season but have picked up tremendously in the last couple of games, while Arsenal have looked very consistent over the course of the season. In United's last league game, they beat Blackburn Rovers 7-1, while Arsenal narrowly beat Fulham 2-1. But that's what makes football such an incredible game because it's so unpredictable.

Arsenal have many dangerous players such as Arshavin, Song, van Persie, Sagna, Nasri, Rosicky, Walcott and Chamakh. These are all world class players who are promised to be very tough on any opponent. Their ball possession is incredible and their finishing touches are sharp. But the question is, will Arsenal be able to break United's defense? With people like Vidic, Rafael, Evra and Ferdinand or Jonny Evans, United are known and feared for their very solid defense and quick counter-attacks. Nani, Rooney, Anderson and Berbatov are the key figures in the United attack and they are capable of breaking any defense. Raphael's and Euras' attacking opportunities create overlaps and also create problems for any defense. Nani's speed and dribbling ability are often converted into goals.

Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger are respected men in the football word. They are definitely two of the greatest manager's ever. But when it comes to the big rivalry battle between their two sides, you can see the importance of this game for them. Earlier this year, Ferguson described their match against Arsenal, the biggest and most important game of the season.

Manchester United fans have been abusing Arsene Wenger in recent years, but Sir Alex Ferguson has called on United supporters to stop the abuse after he himself complained about the abuse he received at the Emirates Stadium.

Portuguese and United winger Luis Nani said Arsenal pose a greater threat to United than defending champions Chelsea. Nani had the following to say: "Arsenal are a bigger threat than Chelsea now, Chelsea have lost a few games and drawn some, and their confidence looks a little low."

"But Arsenal have won and being top of the league gives you a lot of confidence."

"Arsenal have had a good time. They are growing up the way we are".

"Our momentum is growing," he added. "Players like Wayne Rooney and Anderson are starting to play great again."

"It's great because our next two games are going to be very important to us."

"If we win against Arsenal and Chelsea, we will be in a very good position to win the league."

"I like playing against Arsenal," he said. "It's good to play against any big team, but I've done well against them before."

"The way they play gives you a chance to show your quality."
