Arsenal will be in high spirits tomorrow afternoon as they take on Manchester United at the Emirates.
Arsenal
A behemoth match tomorrow afternoon could see both sides` chances of securing the Top 4 spot be sliced drastically if one is to lose. Arsenal restored their Champions League chase breaking their three-game losing streak with an impressive 4-2 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Eddie Nketiah was the star of the night for the Gunners, bagging himself a brace and putting on spectacular performance for the travelling fans. After finding their footing, Arsenal is anything but out of the Top 4 race as they now sit in 5th spot tied with Tottenham on points and separated by goal difference and just 5 points behind Chelsea who are in 3rd spot. The fire is back up and running in Arteta`s camp - the win at Stamford could have been the turnaround they needed to go back on a winning streak and the Gunners` frontline will certainly cause problems for United`s dysfunctional backline.
Manchester United
Manchester United`s midweek travels were contrasting to the Gunners` as they took a humiliating 4-0 beating from title contenders in Liverpool. Consistent in being inconsistent has been the story of United`s season - they travel to London having won just 2 of their last 7 Premier League games and a loss can see them saying goodbye to the possible Top 4 spot considering they face Chelsea next week. To add to the dull statistics, United are yet to register a clean sheet on an away turf since the turn of the year. Regardless, the announcement of Erik ten Hag could potentially spark a new light within the players who will certainly be encouraged to impress if they want to be included in the Dutchman`s plans for next season. The return of Cristiano Ronaldo to the attacking ranks will boost the Devils` chances, but as previously mentioned their decaying backline will most likely contribute to their downfall once again.
Verdict
As much as Cristiano Ronaldo enjoys finding the back of the next, the rest of the Manchester squad seem to be piggybacking on the Portuguese striker and if Arsenal can produce the same performance they did in Stamford Bridge, United`s defence will be at risk of being torn to shreds yet again – boosting the Gunners aspirations of next season`s Champions League campaign.
