Arsenal MUST beat Man United – and we will!

Arsenal are confident and ready by Sam P

Okay we all know Man United have won their last two games scoring 8 goals, but come on, you can hardly consider that amazing form when your opponents were Shrewsbury and a team I can’t even spell, can you? More to the point, United have only won one of their last 4 Premier League games and are now 10 points behind us in the table, whereas we are coming from wins over Bournemouth and League leaders Leicester.

I am confident we can beat the Red Devils, but more importantly the Arsenal players also believe in it. Francis Coquelin explained his reasoning behind it. “I think it’s been a difficult [season] for Man United but in big games like this, we know that they’re going to turn up, because everyone loves these kind of matches,” Le Coq said on Arsenal.com. “It would be a massive win for them to beat us. But we’re going to be ready.

“We beat Leicester and I think the whole team is conscious that, if we want to win the title, we have to win against these kind of teams. Man United are always going to be a great team. Even if they had a bad spell, they still have a strong squad.

“Last year we didn’t lose to them away from home [in two matches]. We showed that we can do something against them away.

“We won there in the FA Cup and drew there in the league. We’re going to go there full of confidence after what we did last year.

“We’ve just beaten the team at the top of the league and shown that we have the desire to do well and grab silverware at the end of the season.”

There you have it, we need to win the League, and we can gain three valuable points on Sunday. United have lots of injuries while we are relatively in a great position. We simply MUST win, and we will…
