Man Utd v Arsenal, Monday 13 December 2010, 8pm, Live Sky
You should always expect fireworks when these teams meet, whether it’s at the Emirates or Old Trafford. There’s extra spice in this contest due to the fact that the sides occupy the top two positions in the Premier League, something which means that the winner will be top of the table on Monday night.
Manchester United are the favourites to leapfrog their opponents, with several firms going odds-on that Sir Alex Ferguson’s men follow up that 1-1 draw with Valencia on Tuesday with a victory against the Gunners. Boylesports (21/20) are the only bookie to have a quote of odds-against at the moment, with West Brom the only team to have stopped the Red Devils in their tracks at home this term.
However, Arsenal are looking every inch like title contenders at the moment and will not be playing for a point on Monday night. Arsene Wenger’s team have won their last four Premier League matches away from home and that stat means that many punters will find them irresistible at huge odds of 3/1 (Paddy Power) to take a massive step towards their first title since 2004.
Cesc Fabregas might be sidelined at the moment, although Samir Nasri is bang in form for Arsenal and the Frenchman can be backed at 9/1 (Paddy Power) to open the scoring at Old Trafford, with Marouane Chamakh (8/1 Coral) likely to cause plenty of problems for Ferdinand and Vidic in defence.
However, the home side have a player in Wayne Rooney who is starting to get back to his best and the striker could just prove to be the difference between the two sides. He’s on offer at 5/1 with Coral to score the first goal on Monday night.
