I always prefer to go in these games as the underdog.Gone are the days when we had superior players and we will go into big games guns blazing.Some will say it is easier to face a team struggling for confidence but not Arsenal Football Club. We literally give teams confidence when they are on a bad run. Will never forget how a terrible LVG side came to the emirates, was played off the park and left with the 3 points.
It will also help if united are a bit more open on saturday as that is when we play our best football against the top teams. Matic could be out which will mean a more sluggish Felliani in midfield which is great news for us. But the most important team news will be regarding Bailley & Jones. They are key for united if we are going to press them as they are their best ball playing Center backs.
Smalling in the starting line up will be a nice as he is clueless with ball at feet. If we keep Pogba and Martial quiet we will have a chance.
Glad United won last night

Just saying you can't be bus parking if you are in the final third asking questions. Its only the game at Anfield we parked the bus pretty much but now people think that is how we play.

I don't think utd park the bus really, just play at a very slow tempo as to cover yourselves for any counter.

Of course you can, defensive football can still result in scoring a lot of goals. That's one of the main things people get wrong about football, they don't understand what defensive football actually is.

Over the last 5 yrs again is pointless a

Okay, last 2 years. 5-0....
Why should someone on a forum just accept anothers opinion without discussing it? Defeats the point.

Yep and again the last time we played was a pointless game.
Are you saying you are not the weakest of the other top teams because if we are going by last season you are
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Last season? History?
By your thinking I should be really confident about Arsenal going to Old Trafford. The worst team of the top six last season - and the fact we haven't won there in the league since 06 and only 3 times in PL history matters not.

So many laughable comments here. Like I said, i prefer it when united come to the game over confident. This is not Fergies united so nothing to fear.
On a side note, I can understand why some fans, well its 2 fans actually, feel Arsenal away is the least threatening game because it has more to dow ith the rivalries as AFC has put correctly.
Ask Spurs fans which ground they hate the most and it will be the Emirates because its the game they hate losing the most hence FEAR the most. I think thats what Python is on about but doesnt realise it himself.
Personally I never fear losing home games against the top teams especially when we are underdogs as there is no chance of complacency at all. The freak losses against Liverpool and united had a lot to do with being complacent.
The game is likely going to be a draw but it all comes down to our start.If we score first we usually win.Thats how it is.
If Santi Cazorla plays we tend to destroy teams at the Emirates.

Pretty sure some, if not most, would say SB and not Arsenal, seeing as they have not won there since 1990
