Arsenal vs Manchester United Preview

Phil Jones

Manchester United pre­pare to lock horns with Arsenal at the Emir­ates Sta­dium this week­end. The Manchester Reds enter this game on the back of a 3–0 vic­tory over Bolton Wan­der­ers at their Old Traf­ford home last Sat­urday, while Arsene Wenger´s men suffered a close 3–2 defeat against Swansea City at the Liberty Sta­dium on Sunday.

After going down nar­rowly 1–0 to fel­low league title chal­lengers Arsenal at the Emir­ates Sta­dium in the cor­res­pond­ing encounter last cam­paign, Sir Alex Ferguson´s Manchester United quite simply out­classed the North Lon­don­ers to the tune of 8–2 at Old Traf­ford in the reverse fix­ture earlier this sea­son. Manchester United defend­ers Phil Jones and Chris Smalling are both expec­ted to return to action for this fix­ture after train­ing this week and the defend­ing league cham­pi­ons should at least man­age to get a point from this vital clash. Manchester United Squad: David de Gea, Anders Linde­gaard, Ben Amos, Chris Smalling, Rafael, Rio Ferdin­and, Patrice Evra, Phil Jones, Jonny Evans, Fabio, Michael Car­rick, Paul Scholes, Paul Pogba, Ant­o­nio Valen­cia, Ji-sung Park, Luis Nani, Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney, Danny Wel­beck, Dim­itar Ber­batov, Javier Hernandez.
