The Premier League is back again this weekend and the clash on which everyone’s eyes will be on will definitely be the one at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal play host to their long standing rivals Manchester United. Although Arsenal are the favourites for this match and rightfully so, the mental block that Arsenal has when facing United post 2007 means that this game is by no means a foregone conclusion. This is a game which will go down to the absolute wire and here at Soccersouls we have listed the three reasons why Arsenal will beat Manchester United this weekend.
1. The injuries at Manchester United is just too much at the moment:
No matter how we look at it, the fact that Manchester United have 12 players out with injuries is nothing short of staggering. Also last night’s international friendlies have also not been any kinder as Luke Shaw and Angel Di Maria are also major doubts to face Arsenal to add to an already impressive injury list of Daley Blind, David De Gea, Michael Carrick, Marcos Rojo, Rafael, Falcao, Ashley Young, Phil Jones, Ander Herrera and Chris Smalling. When you consider the amount of wealth Manchester United has on it’s sidelines, it is almost criminal if Arsenal do not manage to win this one and that too at home. We expect that the injuries will make all the difference with Arsenal outclassing Manchester United with some ease.
