So here we are... with the title race hotting up, we have a huge roadblock to pass as our lads gear up to face the might of Champions Manchester United on Sunday in a bout which is considered by many as the clash of the season.
Whenever these two clubs face-off, it's a special occasion for their fans and this time it's no exception. This fixture has always been intriguing and exciting and once upon a time was considered to be close to, if not equivalent to the 'El Classico', when these two great clubs dominated the Premier League. Tempers have flown, pizzas thrown, shoes hurled and what not! It's true that things have eased out a bit in the last few years, but don't be surprised if there are fireworks this time around as there's a lot at stake apart from just pride. At this stage of the season, both teams would be looking to keep up with leaders Chelsea and nothing less than 3 points would do for both sides.
We have injury woes to cope up with but lets hope Eduardo's able to nurse his hamstring on time(which is unlikely) and atleast one of the two, Diaby or Song turn up for this important encounter. Bendtner's return is a good sign but one would expect Arshavin to assume the role up front in the absence of Eduardo.
Here's hoping we do well and bag all 3 points against our nemesis and send a strong message to leaders Chelsea. Go Gunners!!!
