Arsenal v Man Utd; Preview and Betting

2nd November, 2007

The top-of-the-table clash sees two teams on great form meet at The Emirates, in what promises to be an almighty game. United have won 8 straight games in all competitions and after demolishing Middlesbrough 4-1 last week, managed a fourth successive game scoring four goals. Meanwhile Arsenal are unbeaten in 17 games, gaining a credible draw last week at Anfield.

Arsenal played midweek in the Carling Cup, however with 11 changes to the sides, this will bring no advantages for Sir Alex’s side. However, Wenger’s side are still without the influential Robin van Persie and Philippe Senderos. It is expected that Emmanuel Adebayor wil start up front in a lone role. Only Paul Scholes’ knee injury affects the United squad, who only have the problem of who to pick.

Arsenal are favourites at 11/8, with Manchester United an attractive 9/5. The draw will likely be a popular bet, at 2/1. Our free live odds comparison service will find you the best odds of the match.
