Game 4 Preview - Manchester United vs Arsenal (Aug 29, 2009)

It is the first big game of the season with Manchester United taking on Arsenal at Old Trafford. Both sides will be hoping to stamp down their authority over the other as the two sides meet on Saturday. United were rampant against Wigan Athletic when they scored 5 against them, bouncing back from the shock defeat at Burnley. Arsenal have been nothing short of great so far this season scoring goals for free along the way, amid controversy against Celtic in midweek. How that game affects the Arsenal players is something that we will have to see.

I do not think that Arsenal will get any more than a point in this game, even if they surprise the United supporters with an early goal. An early goal the way and Arsenal will find it hard to get back into the game, especially without having Fabregas. Having said that, since this is so early in the season, I think this game will end in a 1-1 draw.
