Arsenal take on Manchester United in Monday night's crunch game at Old Trafford. The match is of great significance since Arsenal sit atop the Premier Leage table, with United just a point behind with a game in hand.
None could have envisaged a side that has lost three times already at home this season to be top of the Premier League, but this is exactly what Arsenal are experiencing at the moment. Much of this is down to their Away form which is the best in the league. A lot of credit for Arsenal's Away success goes to Samir Nasri, who has now 12 goals in all competitions to his name.
United have had a mixed season. Away from home, they have won just one out of 7 games. Yet, they find themselves in a position to overtake Arsenal at the top of the table if they win. Their Home form has been spectacular, where they have picked up 22 of 24 possible points. In the process, United have scored a staggering 3.5 goals a game on average.
Considering the stats, it should be a very tight game. But United generally do well against the side from London and have beaten them in all but 2 of Arsenal's last 9 visits to the Theater of Dreams. I am predicting a 2-1 win for United.
