Premier League’s Best Collide – Manchester United vs. Arsenal

Reigning Premier League champions Manchester United have been slow to start this season and even found themselves shocked by promoted side Burnley on their travels. Yet, Manchester United picked up pace immediately afterwards, drumming an unassuming Wigan Athletic 5:0 on the away.

As they return to their stomping ground at the Old Trafford, they must gear up for their biggest test this season yet against Arsenal.

Arsene Wenger’s men have been impressive so far and are enjoying a two-match winning streak, which includes scoring ten goals and conceding two. They beat Portsmouth 4:1 at home and took down Everton 6:1 on the away.

Arsenal have serious intentions this season

Arsene Wenger’s men are looking frighteningly intimidating this season pouring goals from all angles. They opened their season with a sensational performance against Portsmouth and topped it by following up with an even more spectacular showing against Everton. Confidence is high on the Gunner’s bench and they will aim to continue their impressive run of form at the expense of Manchester Untied.

Manchester United must prove themselves

This match is an important one for Manchester United and many believe it will be telling. This is a different Man U – a post Cristiano Ronaldo side. His departure has left a huge gap for Alex Fergusson to fill, and so far what he has, has not cut it. They opened their season with a lacklustre 1:0 victory over Birmingham before falling 1:0 at Burnley. They recovered against a struggling Wigan beating them 5:0 which is encouraging. But is it enough to inspire confidence for their upcoming derby?

Soccer Betting Verdict: Manchester United are the bookies favourites coming into this match but we all know who has been playing better football. The Gunners were sublime in their first two matches and they are looking really good to extending that winning streak at the expense of the Red Devils at the Old Trafford. At +225, they simply scream value.
