This weekend, Arsenal will be facing Manchester United, who have been struggling as of late. According to former Arsenal player Paul Merson, his former team will most likely come out on top, but they should not underestimate their opponents. The Premier League clash between the two teams on Sunday will be crucial for both sides as Arsenal currently sit at the top of the table, with Manchester City close behind, only one game behind with a chance to claim their fourth consecutive title. The Gunners, on the other hand, need to win both of their remaining two games and hope for City to slip up in order to secure the title.
The first obstacle in their path is their visit to Old Trafford, where they will be facing a United side that is still reeling from their 4-0 loss against Crystal Palace earlier in the week. Although United have only won one out of their last five league games, they have a strong record against Arsenal at home, having lost only one out of their previous 16 encounters. This will not be an easy game for Arsenal, especially with United looking to bounce back and build some momentum before their FA Cup final.
Merson is confident that Arsenal will come out victorious, but he also warned them to not take United lightly. In an interview with Sportskeeda, he said, "The only thing that can work against Arsenal is their complacency. After watching Palace beat United, they might think they have an easy game, but I don't believe that will be the case. Arsenal are currently a well-oiled team and should win this game. However, I'm not as confident as I was in my prediction for the North London derby, as United have a tendency to show up for these big games."
He also added that an early goal for Arsenal could be the key to securing a win, and that it's not a bad omen for Arsenal as they have won the league in the past after winning at Old Trafford. With the title on the line and tensions running high, this game is bound to be an intense one.
