Match of The Week : Man Utd vs Arsenal

As the season draws closers to the end, all the teams are striving to give their best in order to achieve the season objectives set during the pre-season. This weekend we are entertain by one of the anticipated match-ups of the season. Man Utd vs Arsenal at Old Trafford . Both teams are set to renew old rivalries. This makes me to refresh back on the memories back then , we could see ex-captains Roy Keane and Patrick Vierra pitting their strength at the middle of the park and both Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger shouting at the sidelines..Those were the days...but this weekend things doesn't change much except now both teams has their new army with strengthen fire powers with Man Utd having their top scorer Christiano Ronaldo , 27 goals (BPL) and ever magnificient Wayne Rooney and Carlos Teves while Arsenal are also equipped with very much promising firepowers such as Adebayor , 19 goals (BPL) and Cesc Fabregas. This match up proves to be interesting. It is undeniable that this match could determine the course of the title chase with Man Utd heading the top of the pack with 77 points while Chelsea is 74 points and Arsenal not far away with 71 points .Arsenal will have revenge on their mind with 4-0 humilation in the FA Cup and getting knocked out from the European Champions League by Liverpool with a 5-3 aggregate. The league title is now the only hope for Arsene Wenger's young team to win any silverware this season while Sir Alex Ferguson is definetely looking to put a final blow to his old arch rival Wenger's miserable season besides setting an eye on the Champions League trophy.
