This Manchester United team that has showed up today is playing a very impressive game such that Arsenal  has been put under pressure & limiting their attacking  chances, and if they played like this every weekend I don't think United would have been far back from the top four club's. Btw, if you ask me United look hungry to stop Arsenal from getting an easy 3 points that would push them closer to the EPL title but let's see how this goes...

Edit :

Arsenal found the back of the net, now we have a game on our hands...

As they say: "don't cry because it ended, smile because it happened". Luton making it to the Premier League was a success on its own. Pretty big achievement for a club that was playing in League Two only a few years ago.
They had some good games this season and hopefully gained a lot of experience that will help them get promoted again.


Yup, good spot. And all the teams relegated from the EPL last season occupied top 4 places in the Championship, 2 of them will be back in the EPL, Southampton came a bit short. This shows there was (still is?) a big gap between those 2 divisions.

Mate, I would never expect Manchester City to play more complacently in the FA Cup finale honestly.    Guardiola is a very ambitious manager. Especially after getting eliminated from the Champions League like that, he is much more focused on the remaining tournaments. He would surely want to finish the season with two titles.

Otherwise I would really like to see Manchester United achieving something in this poor season. They are likely to stay out of any tournament places in the Premier League. In that case the FA Cup is the only way for achieving some success. But realistically, I dont expect this to happen.

Mikel Arteta knows that the only result that'll keep his Arsenal team in a good position to win the English Premier League title this season is to get all three points in their game against Manchester United this afternoon any failure to do so will definitely cost him the league title as their biggest rivals are currently two points ahead of them with two more matches to play.
Manchester United is a very strong team with a lot of quality players that can easily win games on their for the team especially today that they're gonna be playing at home but I strongly believe that Arsenal will get the win today because of their superior record this season against Manchester United in terms of form and performances. The game will be played in Old Trafford and because of the long standing rivalry between the two clubs, Manchester United fans in the stadium will be in their loudest voices supporting their team but that I don't think is going to stop Arsenal players from putting in their best and getting the all important win

Exactly, this means handing over the PL title easily to Manchester City. Even now Arsenal are in trouble because of that Aston Villa loss.    I'd really like to see Arsenal as the champions. The last title was 20 years ago, it's a huge break. If Arsenal weren't one of the top teams of the PL then I wouldn't have seen any problem in that.

But I believe this is a serious issue. Arsenal have a more different transfer policy than other top teams though. But Arteta has showed even with youngsters this can be achieved. 

I hope Arsenal win today. And I also hope Tottenham stop Manchester City next week. 

Yes if Manutd is still wants to play in the Europe Conference League, they will do their best to get 3 points from that match.
Because if they are lose against Arsenal today, and only get a draw with Newcastle = they will finish as the top 8th in the league.

In this season, Newcastle away performance was not that good - from 17 away matches in the league they could only win 5 times, with 2 draws and lose 10 times.
It should be not that hard for Manutd to beat them at the Old Trafford.

Unexpectedly, the EPL and other leagues will end soon, but the EPL still presents fierce competition until the end of the season, just like last season where Man City and Arsenal fought for the EPL title and this season they are also still competing fiercely in the hunt for the title when other leagues have already decided. Who will be the champion? The EPL is still looking for the club that will win the title, but that is what makes this league interesting because the competition between the top clubs is still fierce.

Man City won with a big score against Fulham and today we will see Arsenal playing against MU. I see that MU will be a club that makes things difficult for Arsenal at Old Trafford, but because of MU's inconsistency, this club's performance is quite doubtful because in the last meeting between the two, Arsenal was able to beat MU. I think Arsenal will beat MU again even though this match is an away match for Arsenal but it won't be a big pressure for a club that is fighting to win the title.

 This match against Man United and Arsenal at Old Trafford is one that holds high stakes for both clubs and I think this is one match that lost fans will use as a bragging right this season. Both teams are in chase for something, while Arsenal is chasing the league so bad, Man United wouldn’t want to miss out on Europe and as such this match is a must win for them. So you can see all what is at stake in this match in England.

 Man United lost the first leg of this encounter earlier this season with a 3-1 margin and I think that loss is what the players wouldn’t want to happen but you can just imagine how possible and hard it will be for Man United. Arsenal attackers are really fierce and you can say the defending vulnerabilities of this Man United side will sure catch up with them when Arsenal fierce and fast attackers come at them. ⁠One major fact you can’t overlook is how this Man United side have been with the top teams this season.  You can see how they thrashed out Liverpool of the FA Cup and I think one of the main spoilers of Liverpool’s title chase.

 As such you can’t expect them to sit quiet against Arsenal in front of their home fans. Well they want to at least participate in the Europa League next season and yes they need to finish 6th at least or win the FA Cup final. Winning the FA CUp final might be more challenging, so they understand how much of importance this match is for them. ⁠This match will be one exciting one that will go down im About 3 hours and with the way this Arsenal side are seriously chasing their title and the injury crisis at Man United which makes them vulnerable I think Arsenal will be winning this with a 0-3 or 0-4 scoreline.

It has been played and the result is that Fulham is helpless against Mamchester City. I have said head to head calculations that the last time Fulham achieved the best result against Manchester City was on 18 September 2011, then until yesterday's match they were only victims of Manchester City's ferocity.

Until now, I still have doubts about Arsenal beating Manchester United even though Manchester United's performance is declining. In my opinion, every time Manchester United faces a top four team, it can be troublesome for them. At the next meeting, I think Arsenal will be troubled by Manchester United even though we don't know the result yet.

If Arsenal fails to get full points against Manchester United, it is legal for Manchester City to win 4 PL titles in a row.

Now you talk as if you're a gunner and I'm certain in a kinda way, True? No doubts with your comments made, Manchester stands no chance but this is Old Trafford. My pain would be winning the game today or drawing for Manchester United, they don't deserve it, I hope Arsenal definitely gets whatever they want today, my prediction should be a close range win maybe a two goals to one game, one to Nil win or two goals to nothing win for Arsenal.

All of the winning depends on Arsenal if they can be able to take necessary actions whenever they get the chance. More prediction is also for Trosadd to score a goal today.

Manchester United will be having good number of defenders back and having both Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo, Manchester United will definitely be able to build up successfully from the back, also returning is Antonio Martial who will be playing his last game during that game for Manchester United.

Erik Ten Hag knows what's at stake he has to do all he can to do win that game.

There are always surprises, but I don't think there is much goal difference. Man United have a mission to break the bad results of matches, they also want to still qualify for the Europa League zone even Man United always perform well at Old Traford when they play big and strong teams. Today is a big proof, Because of the early meeting last season Man United lost and today is an opportunity for revenge. Maybe Man City will be happy if Arsenal lose because the chances of winning will be even more difficult for Arsenal.

Yes, Manchester United still have a chance through the FA Cup. However it doesn't look like a big chance though as the opponent is Manchester City.    I expect Manchester City to finish the season with 2 titles.

Chelsea play much better than Manchester United recently. But against Newcastle their job is really tough. I hope Chelsea at least qualify for the Conference League. I'm sad for especially Palmer.    He has been giving his 100% for his team but there is no team success yet. They missed the EFL Cup trophy by inches in the final too. If Chelsea win their remaining matches I think they will make it. Because Newcastle seem to have a harder job.

after doing a lot of research and having several options for betting on this big match, I will venture to bet on Arsenal winning -1.75 at odds @2.11
from what I have analyzed it looks like this match will end 1-3 or maybe 0-3 and the reason I have this prediction is because Arsenal is currently having a more stable performance while Man United is going through a bad time when they have to endure several main players who are suffering from injuries and on the one hand Man United have just been humiliated by Crystal Palace with a big score and this is the reason I say that Arsenal will score a big score.
so, what do you think? would it make sense for Arsenal to score 3 or maybe more?

I know Manchester United's chances of qualifying for the Europa League are not finished, but it will be extremely difficult if they lose against Arsenal today. Which is how Chelsea is currently performing, I don't think they want to lose any league matches. They impressed me very well yesterday against Nottingham Forest, when the coach made a superb substitute and led them to victory. Are you confident that Manchester United will beat Newcastle next week? Newcastle is still battling to avoid losing games. Anything can happen in the game, but let's see how Manchester United performs against Arsenal today and whether they can play well against Newcastle. I started believing in Chelsea because they have impress the fans yesterday with there great performance, and I believe they will still perform well against Brighton. Chelsea can't drop down again in that 6 position except Newcastle and make Manchester United top them.

Facing Arsenal who are indeed having high motivation to win the Premier League this season will certainly not be as easy as they did last season, in the last two seasons Arsenal can improve their performance and also their winning statistics when facing Manchester United at Old Trafford,  Today match will be their second meeting of the season after in the first meeting Manchester United lost to Arsenal with a score of 3-1, the game on day can certainly be a place of revenge for Manchester United for the previous defeat, besides that I think if you want to keep competing to be able to play in the Europa League next season, of course Manchester United must win 3 points against Arsenal.

Although Manchester United condition is in poor performance, they still cannot be underestimated, because after all, Manchester United can often surprise the big teams they are opponents this season, such as when they eliminated Liverpool from the FA Cup this season, speaking of the FA Cup, of course, Manchester United still has a chance to play in the Europa League next season through the FA Cup winning route if they fail to get it through the league standings England this season, but the problem now is that winning the FA Cup seems more difficult because they have to face Manchester City in the final later, so I think it is more realistic and easier for them to get via 6th place in the Premier League standings this season than beating Manchester City in the FA final later.

This season may be the worst season for promoted teams, because all of them are being back relegated to Championship Division. I don't remember the last time all the three promoted teams being relegated back straight away. It's a shame Sheffield United being so poor remembering they had a good season in Premier League years ago by finishing 6th position on the table.

Luton is also having an anti-climax story, they are a club that has a league title in their history. Promoting back to Premier League after a long time have given hope for their fans to have a journey in english top flight football again, but that hope vanished with a sad ending. Burnley is just being Burnley, the most famous club at being relegated and coming back promoted. LoL

The hope left right now is so low, Arsenal will definitely defeat Manchester United but, Arsenal winning the title this season is actually unpredictable so putting confidence now is not important. Arsenal really deserve the title no doubt cause they’ve played endless bring out their A game pursuing the title and same thing happened last season, at least Manchester City still have a chance in FA cup and epl title so best luck to city meanwhile Arsenal just have the epl title. Tomorrow match will definitely be an interesting one to watch as Manchester United and Arsenal will face again at old Trafford, let’s watch if history will repeat itself again but I’m sure Arsenal will not miss any chance to United.

Unfortunately for Burnley, they'll be playing next season in the Championship after it was confirmed today that they've been relegated from the English Premier League. Burnley have been very poor this season with their performances but I was thinking they were going to put out a good fight on the second half of the season that'll help them avoid going down to the second division of English football. There's a possibility that they can have an impressive performance in the second division next and still return back to the English Premier League just like Leicester City managed to return back to the English Premier League after just one season in the in the second division of English club

Manchester United's game against Arsenal tomorrow in the English Premier League will definitely be a difficult one for both sides if you ask me but the truth is that I'm still expecting Arsenal to get the better of Manchester United despite the fact that the game will be played at Old Trafford. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta saw his team go back to the second position of the league after Manchester City ran riot against Fulham earlier today so I expect Arsenal to put in their best in that particular game against United

Luton town will definitely be the 3rd and final team to be relegated. Their GD deficit puts Nottingham Forrest in a really good position because there's no way Luton town will win Fulham with a very high goal margin like you said around 12+ goals and this assumes that Nottingham will lose their next game. At the very least, they're going to push for a draw. Nottingham primary goal right now is to survive the league and try to be better next season.

Sheffield United > Burnley > Luton.

Luton was one of my fav teams this season thanks to some of their players like Barksley, Dougherty, etc. Sad to see them go.

R.I.P. Burnley. After today's loss to Tottenham (2-1), Burnley is sure to be relegated, as they only have 1 game left to play and are 5 points behind the 17th Nottm Forest.
The situation of the 18th Luton is also not looking too bright. They still have mathematical chances, but they would have to win their next game against Fulham very high and/or hope for Nottm Forest to suffer a high loss to Burnley (who have nothing to play for anymore). Currently, Luton is 3 points behind Nottm Forest but their goal difference is worse by 12 goals.
So it's fair to say that Luton's fate is already decided.
