Spirited Arsenal Look For Dominant Win Over Revitalised Manchester United
The Arsenal vs Manchester United match should be a real action-packed game, which should have plenty of chances on display for both teams.
Arsenal have drawn their last two Premier League matches, but are still seven points clear at the top of the league table and are eager to get back to winning ways in the league after their recent impressive victory over Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League.
However, the league leaders face a stern task against a confident Manchester United side, who appear to have some of their mojo back under Michael Carrick.
The Red Devils are flying high on momentum after defeating Manchester City and now aim to do the same against another title challenger in Arsenal.
Manchester United need to be strong defensively and efficient in taking their chances to pull off a surprise at the Emirates Stadium and end the Gunners’ unbeaten run at home this season.
However, the Red Devils have only won one of their last five matches against Arsena,l and they might need to do something special to pull off a victory in the capital.
Hungry Viktor Gyokeres Determined To Haunt Manchester United
Viktor Gyokeres has had a difficult debut season for Arsenal, but he regained some of his confidence levels in their recent clash against Inter Milan, coming off the bench to score a clinical goal.
The Swedish forward will be eager to get back to scoring ways in the Premier League and finally get a goal in a major league match.
Gyokeres has five goals in 20 Premier League appearances this season, but is without a goal in Arsenal’s last five league matches.
He has to be more clinical in the upcoming match to thrive for the Gunners, and he needs to fight his way to more goal-scoring situations.
If Arsenal are to win against Manchester United, he needs to nail his positioning and be ruthless with his finishing to haunt the Red Devils and drive his side to a big win.

In-Form Bryan Mbeumo Looking To Deliver In Another Big Match For Manchester United
Bryan Mbeumo has turned out to be a pretty prolific signing for Manchester United, having eight goals in 18 appearances for the Red Devils so far this season.
He produced a tidy goal in Manchester United’s recent win over Manchester City and is flying high on form, having returned from the Africa Cup of Nations with quite a bit of momentum behind him.
Mbeumo will need to be a driving force for Manchester United in this upcoming Arsenal vs Manchester United clash for them to have a chance of bagging all three points.
The Cameroonian forward, similarly to Gyokeres, has to be smart with his movement and prolific in front of goal if United are to take anything out of this clash at the Emirates Stadium.
