yup, liverpool at anfield
if man u can contain fabregas and van persie ..can win bah -
the two biggest crunchers..
Both at grounds where there have been no home lost, and two teams who can't afford to drop points.
liverpool will have much to prove after being shown the exits to two cups..
MUFC will also need to prove that they can beat the big four..
Chelsea knows any points lose will widen their cracks...
Arsenal is still holding to the dream that they can win the title...
so much to play for.... ... -
ok thanks, and thanks zocossOriginally posted by Gackt247:Nah..

I scratch my head, cannot remember the last time Man U beat Arsenal at Highbury leh....the best results they've obtained (even in seasons where they lift the trophy) is a draw.
Man U is strong this season but I don't think they have what it takes to beat Arsenal at Emirates. I think a draw is a more likely outcome although as a Man U fan, I want Man U to win 1-0 also shiok.
As for Liverpool vs Chelsea, I think Chelsea wuld nick it. Anfield is not inpregnable.....I would like a draw though. -
arsenal will win!!!!
go arsenal, go!!!

Yes! Utd has a knack for creating such history. We should and we will beat the Gunners at their fort!!!Originally posted by iceFatboy:Oh really? can't rem? then watch as MUFC creates history again... -
looks likely to be a draw. maybe i should go bet at sgpools.

I go for a draw

one important fact to consider, Arsenal is with Henry but they have lost their inspirational skipper, Gilberto..
MUFC is at full strength.. -
only if they play as well as they did against blackburn.Originally posted by iceFatboy:OH REALLY??? -
Yea..somemore Park and Carrick will be very motivated by their goals against Villa. Ronaldo will be motivated. Utd is at full strength and peak motivationOriginally posted by iceFatboy:one important fact to consider, Arsenal is with Henry but they have lost their inspirational skipper, Gilberto..

if you want Arsenal to win, shouldn't you be in the Arsenal's forum?Originally posted by dragg:only if they play as well as they did against blackburn. -
I don't think the Arsenal forum even exists.Originally posted by iceFatboy:if you want Arsenal to win, shouldn't you be in the Arsenal's forum? -
sorry, I wasn't trying to be mean or starting a flame war, dragg..
just that i feel if you want to support your team, you should do it in your forum lor. -
Nah... its ok, he was just stating his opinion he won't take offence with that... but we must admit that the gunners are in red hot form right now tho... But then again, man u isn't blackburn are they...Originally posted by iceFatboy:sorry, I wasn't trying to be mean or starting a flame war, dragg..

This should be a great match to catch... I am thinking that the gunners weak spot could be their defence... their attack are in great form and their midfield well... good enough i think... so its their defence that could give them a problem... Clichy against Ronaldo this could be the soft spot... Wonder would Gallas be playing... ? -
PREVIEW-Chelsea cross fingers as Arsenal host Man United
LONDON, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Arsenal take on old foes and Premier League leaders Manchester United this weekend with champions Chelsea crossing their fingers for a Gunners victory.
Arsenal pose only a distant threat to Chelsea's hopes of a third consecutive league title, but they could help Jose Mourinho's men close a six-point gap on United.
Fourth in the table on 42 points, Arsenal are one point behind Liverpool, nine behind Chelsea and 15 adrift of a United side they beat 1-0 at Old Trafford last September.
Buoyed by League and FA Cup success over Liverpool, plus a 10-man league win at Blackburn Rovers last weekend, Arsenal are in good shape for one of their biggest games of the season.
Thierry Henry is on form, strike partner Emmanuel Adebayor, scorer of that winner in Manchester, is delivering on his potential and there are plenty of goals in the midfielders.
However, Arsenal are handicapped by the injury absence of defender William Gallas, while a suspension for rock-solid Gilberto, following the Brazilian midfielder's red card at Blackburn, will be a real blow on Sunday.
A few years ago, this was a highly combustible fixture which pitted sides led by Roy Keane and the equally combative Patrick Vieira, causing ructions on and off the pitch.
The infamous 'Battle of the Buffet', in which bits of pizza were allegedly thrown at United manager Alex Ferguson, followed the end of Arsenal's record-breaking unbeaten league run of 49 games in October 2004.
A year earlier, another fracas at Old Trafford had led to four Arsenal players being banned and their club fined for the ugly scenes at the end of a 0-0 draw.
Keane and Vieira, along with the more vitriolic rivalry, are now long gone.
SWASHBUCKLING UNITED
However, the Emirates will still host a tightly-contested game between the Premier League's top scoring sides, with United looking to repeat a swashbuckling 4-2 win at Highbury last year.
United winger Cristiano Ronaldo has been superb this season, along with evergreen playmaker Paul Scholes and French striker Louis Saha. Wayne Rooney has a good record against Arsenal since scoring the winner for Everton as a 16-year-old unknown in 2002.
United, who lost the 2005 FA Cup final to Arsenal on penalties, still face a probing test of their away form, though, after taking just four points from their last three league games on the road.
Chelsea will hope to be only three points behind United when that match kicks off on Sunday afternoon, following their own demanding away fixture at Liverpool on Saturday.
Hit by speculation about the future of coach Jose Mourinho and the injury absence of captain John Terry, among others, Chelsea need to show the stuff of champions at Anfield.
Despite their League and FA Cup defeats by Arsenal, Liverpool have won nine and drawn two of their home league games this season and the champions can expect a rough ride in the day's early kickoff.
