How is the two teams form?

Manchester United is unbeaten in the last three Premier League matches, winning 3-2 against Chelsea yesterday. The Reds are currently second in the league, one point after Chelsea. However, there has been bumps on the road for United this season losing against Everton and Tottenham Hotspurs. The defends have been the problem for United, struggling with several injuries. However, the defends seem to be in better shape at this point.

Arsenal is number six in the league after a lucky win against Queens Park Rangers this weekend. The club has played some impressing football but has also failed in matches they should have won. After their midweek loss to Schalke 04 in the Champions League and the win this weekend, Arsenal seems to be back in form. The Gunners are still struggling with injuries, but finally has both Bacary Sagna and Jack Wilshere back. The latter did well against QPR and we can expect more from him when he is back in the right fitness.

What will the starting XI look like?

It is most likely that Sir Alex Ferguson will use the same starting line as the match against Chelsea yesterday. I expect a single change in the Arsenal line up for this match, as Gervinho's speed can important. This means that Aron Ramsey will be pushed out on the bench.

De Gea

Rafael - Ferdinand - Evans - Evra

Carrick - Cleverley

Valencia - Rooney - Young

van Persie
----------------------------------------
Giroud

Podolski - Cazorla - Gervinho

Wilshere - Ateta

Santos - Vermaelen - Mertesacker - Sagna

What to expect from this match?

Manchester United is favorites and will produce a massive pressure on the Arsenal defends. However, the Gunners will be deadly on the contras they might get, as they have an incredible speed on the team. I expect Manchester United to be the controlling team in this match, but at the same time, Arsenal has the ability to surprise and get something out of nothing.
