So...I managed to miss predicting United's match against Wigan Athletic, but I DID manage to play my Monday night pick-up game....and tear a ligament in my ankle as well as chip some bone off, too. So gimme some slack.
Anyway, gameweek 4, when United take on Arsenal. One of the most high class, and often highly volatile, rivalries in the Premier League. Arsenal hasn't been doing nearly as well as United in the last three seasons, but they have started this season better than their northern rivals. A massive 6-1 victory against Everton in their first match really showed everyone what they can do.
No matter how each team has been doing, when they clash, they really step their game up. That being said, I have to go for a draw. If I had to guess, I'd say 2-2, since both teams' strengths right now are in attack. Our defence has so many injuries, they really haven't had a decent run to get used to shutting teams out. While we kept a clean sheet against Wigan, it's more because we were too busy scoring on them...though I will give 'keeper Ben Foster huge credit for some top saves in that match.
One thing to our advantage is that Arsenal had to play Celtic yesterday... so they may have just enough fatigue for us to sneak a win. Still going for a draw though.
UNITED!
