The most exciting match of the eleventh round of the Premier League is undoubtedly the one between the teams of Manchester United and Arsenal. After a poor start to the season, United gradually reaches good form and the success in this derby is much needed for David Moyes. Arsenal on the other hand, is often announced as the main favorite for the title and an away victory over Manchester will definitely strengthen these claims.
Recently, Old Trafford is definitely not a preferable destination for Arsene Wenger. Arsenal have lost 8 of their last 9 visits to Manchester United in the league. Undoubtedly, all supporters of Arsenal remember the disastrous 8:2 defeat in 2011. Now, however, the chances of success for the gunners as a guest of United seem rather decent. Arsenal performs spectacularly so far, not only in the Premier League, but the Champions League. The win over Borussia Dortmund in midweek definitely gives extra confidence to Arsenal.
The team of Manchester United has not lost in 8 consecutive games from all competitions, but still there is a lot of work to be done ahead of David Moyes. The Reds conceded two draws and one loss in the seven home games played so far, which is extremely unusual for the team. However, Van Persie is finding his top form, as the player has scored a goal in each of the last three games of the Premier League.
This derby promises to be extremely entertaining to all football fans. For the past 13 years, Arsenal managed only 2 wins at Old Trafford, but in one of these cases the team won the Premier League. The 3 points from this match will see Manchester United back in the fight for the first place and it is clear that this game is highly important to both teams.
