According to former Arsenal player, Paul Merson, Wednesday's match against Manchester United will be a breeze for the Gunners. Merson has confidently predicted that Arsenal will dominate the game at the Emirates Stadium, with a potential scoreline of three or even four-nil in their favor.
The anticipation for this match is even higher as the two teams were also drawn against each other in the third round of the FA Cup on Monday. But before that, they will clash in a Premier League showdown. Both teams have been in good form, with Arsenal winning their last three games and scoring an impressive 13 goals, while United have been enjoying a new manager bounce under Ruben Amorim, most recently thrashing Everton 4-0.
Merson believes that Arsenal's current form and their strong focus on set-pieces will give them the upper hand in this match. He also points out that United's previous victory against Everton should not be overhyped, as they have had some shaky performances in the past. Merson, who watched United's game against Bodo/Glimt, was not impressed and also noted that Ipswich was the better team when they faced United in Amorim's first game in charge.
One potential concern for United is the suspension of defender Lisandro Martinez, who is not the tallest of defenders and is likely to be replaced by Harry Maguire, who is known for his strength in defending set-pieces. However, Merson still believes that United are still finding their footing under Amorim, while Arsenal, under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, are currently flying high.
Merson praises Arsenal's consistency and the clear understanding the players have of Arteta's game plan. He confidently states that this will be evident on the pitch during the match. Despite his prediction of a comfortable win for Arsenal, Merson is being kind with his scoreline, predicting a 3-0 victory for the Gunners.
In conclusion, Merson has high hopes for Arsenal and believes that they will easily defeat Manchester United in their upcoming match. With their current form and strong set-piece tactics, Merson sees no other outcome than a win for the Gunners.
