I honestly tend to think Arsenal are better than Manchester United in many ways, but maybe that's just me. Arsenal have a more stable form and all the players seem to be eager to finish the match with win. After all, Arsenal have a lot to learn from their previous defeat to Manchester United, and maybe the next match is the time for Arsenal to take revenge at the Emirates Stadium.
On the other hand, Arsenal will also benefit because they will only play 1 match against Manchester United this week. Whereas United have 2 matches which are both only two days apart, so the players have less time to rest. Fatigue factor, it will very likely make Manchester United lose to Arsenal if Crystal Palace really makes it difficult for him.
Yes, you're right, it will be good for Arsene, as Manchester United will play two away matches and after the match with Crystal Palace they may not have as much strength as Arsenal. And I'm not sure that ten Hag will make some kind of rotation for the match with Crystal Palace, because this is also a very difficult opponent.
Manchester United are in great shape right now and they will try to win both of these matches. A win over Crystal Palace will take them to second place, it will motivate them, and if they manage to beat Arsenal on Sunday, it can bring them closer to Arsenal by very close three points, I think it will be the maximum task fot ten Hag. If this happens, then the intrigue in the Premier League will be reborn again. But Arsenal will not give up points so easily, Manchester United won the home game, but in London it will be much more difficult for them.
That will drain the stamina of the Manchester United players because there are two matches that must be completed in the near future, Crystal Palace will sometimes be more difficult but it is a task for Erik Ten Hag to win and return to second place, the enthusiasm and motivation is clear they want to catch up points especially to get close to Arsenal, but it is a challenge for Ten Hag how he does such a good job in those two games.
Arsenal will indeed be much more difficult to beat, but Manchester United will try to do it. It's no wonder that this will be crucial whether it will be the Gunners' second defeat or Arsenal's second win.
But I think Ten Hag already knows about the strategy against Arsenal, players must be fit so that the performance will be even more resonant.
