Manchester United vs Arsenal

"With both teams cast an eye over the midweek Champions League fixtures, i have a feeling that both managers will not select their First Eleven."

-Gary, 16 Feb 2008

Look like Man City have claim bragging rights over us! Man Utd didnt really have the heart to play the match, is as though they are really mourning for the Busby Babes. And also without the influential Wayne Rooney.

Today match against Arsenal is the only all Premiership team FA cup tie. And there is only 6 Premiership teams left at this round - 5th round.

With both teams cast an eye over the midweek Champions League fixtures, i have a feeling that both managers will not select their First Eleven.

I think this is the best time to take on Arsenal as they are now in their bare bones. Look like injuries and suspensions have taken a toll on them. But then, this is the mind games that Arsene are playing, no?? i dont think there are only 14 fit players travel to Old Trafford. I think he will leave out 2 or 3 players for AC Milan match in midweek.

Man Utd Team News: Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra are back from suspension. Gary Neville and Mikael Silvestre are still out.

Arsenal Team News: Johan Djourou, Robin van Persie, Abou Diaby, Manuel Almunia, Denilson, Tomas Rosicky, Theo Walcott, Gael Clichy, Bacary Sagna and Philippe Senderos are all out.

Odds and Analysis: With a virtual team out of this match, shouldnt Man Utd be given a higher handicap to clear it? (the handicap at that time was -0.25) Now the handicap is at -0.5, I will take Man Utd for the win.
