VOV.VN – The match between MU and Arsenal in round 7 of the Premier League 2020/2021 will take place at 11:30 p.m. on November 1 Vietnam time.
MU and Arsena have had the perfect momentum for the big battle at Old Trafford. If the Red Devils crushed Leipzig 5-0 in the Champions League, the Gunners beat Dundalk 3-0 in the Europa League even though they only used the B squad.
The two jubilant victories of MU and Arsenal contributed to an impressive week for English football in the European arena, where Premier League “giants” competed to prove their special temperament.
Impressive start when entering the continent, but both MU and Arsenal have not shown their bravery in the domestic arena. The two rivals in the Premier League championship race are now standing next to each other in the second half of the rankings.
Before this weekend’s round, Arsenal ranked 11th with 9 points and MU ranked 15th with 7 points. Besides erratic performance, weakness in big battles is a similarity between the two sides.
Arsenal lost 1-3 to Liverpool, 0-1 to Man City and 0-1 to Leicester in the Premier League. Meanwhile, MU suffered a humiliating defeat of 1-6 at the hands of Tottenham and a bland 0-0 draw with Chelsea.
Tonight, can MU or Arsenal transform themselves in a match called a great battle in the Premier League?
In terms of strength, MU is the dominant team. Coach Solskjaer expressed his satisfaction with the strong team on hand, except for Anthony Martial who is still suspended because of his direct red card in the loss to Tottenham and Alex Telles is absent due to Covid-19.
On the contrary, coach Mikel Arteta is having a headache when the “storm” of injuries causes the Arsenal defense to become devastated. Central defenders Pablo Mari, Calum Chambers, and Rob Holding are all in pain and David Luiz may not have recovered in time to play against MU.
In terms of recent head-to-head results, Arsenal is better. In the past two seasons in the Premier League, the Gunners were unbeaten against the Red Devils. They drew in two away trips at Old Trafford and won twice when hosting MU at the Emirates.
Solskjaer’s MU was the first team that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal defeated. The former Spanish midfielder won 2-0 in a battle of wits with the former Norwegian striker in January this year.
It is impossible not to mention the ability of both MU and Arsenal to “shoot themselves in the foot”, when fans of both sides have “died” many times because of the confusing handling of their favorite players.
This is probably the most “balanced” factor between MU and Arsenal at the present time. Who knows, mistakes will be the deciding factor in the fate of the match at Old Trafford, instead of the tactical brains of Solskjaer or Mikel Arteta./.
