Man Utd VS Arsenal (MATCH PREVIEW).. who is going to win ? by Walspring: 9:42pm On Nov 09, 2013
As we all await tomorrow Super Sunday match derby between Manchester United and Arsenal, I decided to post the match review so that you people will be able to have details and insight of player who will play tomorrow and those who will not play and also those who are have injuries.

"Manchester United have improved a lot of late too, but I still think their manager David Moyes will be a little bit cautious and try to make sure they don't get beaten.

"If Arsenal go there and win - something they have done a lot of on their travels recently - then Moyes is back to square one."

Manchester United may be without Rafael, who has an ankle problem.

Jonny Evans and Michael Carrick may return after respective back and calf problems, but Danny Welbeck is still out with a knee injury.

Arsenal are confident Mathieu Flamini will be fit despite a recent groin problem, while Jack Wilshere's ankle injury will be assessed.
Theo Walcott, Yaya Sanogo, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lukas Podolski and Abou Diaby all remain sidelined by injury.

Sunday marks the 142nd anniversary of one of history's most famous meetings. It didn't take place at Old Trafford, but 4,400 miles away on Lake Tanganyika.

New York journalist Henry Stanley walked out of the jungle and greeted a Scottish medical missionary with the now famous words: "Dr Livingstone, I presume?"

Another Scot is on a mission these days. David Moyes is trying to rediscover the lost soul of Manchester United.
One minute he must think he's found the source of power that took his predecessor to 13 titles, the next moment he knows more work is needed to rekindle that burning fire of old.

But improvement is being made. They are unbeaten in eight matches. Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie have 16 goals between them.
Rooney has scored 12 league and cup goals against the Gunners, including a hat-trick in the 8-2 hammering of 2011. He was also accused of diving to win a penalty in the infamous "Pizzagate" clash that ended the Arsenal Invincibles' unbeaten run of 49 games in 2004.
The previous year, Martin Keown and Ruud van Nistelrooy had sparked a nasty confrontation. It's been ugly. It's been beautiful.
Few will forget Ryan Giggs' legendary FA Cup semi-final goal in 1999. It took the Double away from London to Manchester, setting up United for their famous Champions League victory and changing the course of football history.

This current Arsenal side are also good enough to become European champions, according to Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp. The Gunners are balanced, stylish, full of goals and more secure at the back.
They were excellent in beating Liverpool but this will be the acid test.

United have flunked their big tests so far against Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City. Another defeat would leave them 11 points behind the Gunners and the title would be gone.

But I can't see them scoring enough to win a tight game. The movement of Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla will create something special. I'll take one of them to net in a 1-1 draw, proving Arsenal's title credentials are solid.

However, a home victory would mean we recognise an old force emerging again - "United, I presume?"

MATCH FACTS

HEAD-TO-HEAD

The Red Devils have lost just one of their last 12 league and cup games against the Gunners (W9, D2, L1).

This will be Arsene Wenger's 50th game against United as Arsenal manager. He has won 15 of the previous 49 (excluding penalty shoot-outs).

MANCHESTER UNITED

The Red Devils have won back-to-back Premier League games for the first time under manager David Moyes.

Fourteen of United's last 19 league goals have been scored or assisted by Robin van Persie or Wayne Rooney.

Patrice Evra will become the third Frenchman to make 250 Premier League appearances, following in the footsteps of Arsenal duo Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira.

ARSENAL

Victory would give Arsenal their highest ever points tally after 11 Premier League matches.

Arsenal are the only Premier League club to have scored in every game this season. The last team to shut-out the Gunners was David Moyes' Everton in a 0-0 draw at the Emirates on 16 April.

Prior to this weekend, only five players had assisted four or more Premier League goals this season - and three of them were Arsenal players (Olivier Giroud, Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey).

Ramsey has 11 goals in 17 league and cup games for Arsenal this term, and 13 in 21 for club and country.

Arsene Wenger has registered 14 Premier League victories against Moyes - his highest tally against any manager.
