SSN BET - Match of the Day: Manchester United - Arsenal / 5.12.2018
Hello my dear friends! Midweek continues in England and today the central duel of the tour will take place. Let's see in what condition the rivals approach it.
MANCHESTER UNITED
Manchester United with each fight deeper and deeper sinks to the bottom. “Red Devils” more or less adequately passed the period of matches with the leaders, but after that the team of Jose Mourinho began to show the worst results. After a break in the Nations League, Manchester United played with two outsiders in the Premier League, but earned only two points in these matches. The Red Devils could not beat Crystal Palace at home (0-0), and in the last round they escaped in a duel with Southampton (2-2), remaining on the seventh line. Even the humble Young Boys in the Champions League, MU squeezed only in compensated time (1-0). In matches with the teams of the top six, the indicators for Manchester United are also mediocre. The Red Devils lost to Manchester City (1-3) and Tottenham (0-3), but tied with Chelsea (2-2). They will definitely not play in the upcoming match Alexis Sanchez, Victor Lindelef and the suspended Ashley Young. Players like Luke Shaw, Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly, Matteo Darmian and Marcus Rashford remain in doubt.
ARSENAL
As for the club, which aims to compete for a place in the Champions League, and possibly for the title, Arsenal performs well. But in the fight for the title they will not be easy, in recent games they have suffered too many losses. In the previous five Premier League bouts, Arsenal played a draw with Crystal Palace (2-2), Wolverhampton (1-1) and Liverpool (1-1), while Bournemouth (2-1) and Tottenham won (4-2). The last triumph and returned the team Unai Emery in fourth place. The match with Manchester United will be for Arsenal already the fifth duel with the top six club this season. The “gunners” in these meetings are better than in the past with Arsene Wenger. In the first two rounds, the wards of Emery lost to Manchester City (0-2) and Chelsea (2: 3). These victories are still the only ones for Arsenal this season. Then there was a draw with Liverpool (1-1) and a victory over Tottenham (4-2). Exactly today will not play Granite Xhaka, Danny Welbeck and Nacho Montreal. Laurent Koscielny has not yet formed a form, and Mesut Ozil missed the match with Tottenham due to minor damage.
STATISTICS AND PERSONAL MEETINGS
- Manchester United has not won in the Premier League for three games in a row.
- Did not miss the "red devils" only in one of the ten previous matches of the Premier League.
- Arsenal's unbeaten run has already reached 19 matches.
- At the exit, the Gunners won seven of the last eight meetings.
- Only in one of the nine guest fights of this season, Arsenal scored an opponent with less than two goals.
- Manchester United beat Arsenal in three of the last five full-time matches. In the previous season, Sir Alex won at Old Trafford (2-1), and at Emirates (3-1).
So let's summarize. Injuries mowed almost all the defenders of Manchester United. Some of them may have to play through the pain in this match. Given how powerful Arsenal is now playing ahead, the defense of Manchester United in this match will not envy. Plus, this season Manchester United played poorly at home, in ten games, Leicester City (2-1), Newcastle United (3-2) and Young Boys (1-0) were hardly defeated, the rest of the games were either lost, either reduced to a draw. Arsenal seems to have found his game and looks quite powerful this season, while in the away matches, the Gunners also succeed.
