A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Analysis:

Manchester United goes into this match knowing that a point will do and they will retain their Premiership title. This meeting with Arsenal will be their third time in just 17 days and they know that this will be their best chance to wrap up the title in front of their home fans and get a record equalling total of 18 bringing them level with arch-rivals Liverpool.

United must repeat their performance against Wigan when they came back from a 1-0 deficit and showed true Champions quality to win 1-2 away from home. And their opponents Arsenal today will not be having fond memories after they were beaten 4-1 on aggregate in the Champions League semi-finals just 10 days ago.

Arsenal, who were beaten by Manchester 3-1 in the second leg at the Emirates came days after they lost 4-1 at home to Chelsea on Sunday, ending their 20 game unbeaten run in the league in the process as well.

Wenger, however still have faith in his young side when he declared that his side were just as good as United going forward. Wenger will be counting on striker Emmanuel Adebayor to prove a point here after two poor displays against United in the Champions League.

But United knows that should they win or get a point then they will be presented with the Premier League trophy.

With regards to the team news, United will start withoutdefender Rio Ferdinand with a calf injury but Ferguson is hopinh he can start their final game against Hull City. Darren Fletcher who did not play on Wednesday should start while Ryan Giggs who was a second-half substitute against the Latics is also expected to start this match. Defender Wes Brown is out for the rest of the season with a foot injury.

As for Arsenal, Wenger will welcome back playmaker Andrey Arshavin after he did not feature against Chelsea due to flu. Arsenal are missing the likes of Manuel Almunia (ankle), Gael Clichy (back), William Gallas (knee), Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) and Eduardo (groin) going into this match.

But Almunia could return for their final match of the season against Stoke while Rosicky took part in his first full training session with the rest of the first-team squad this week after 16 months out with injury.

Take Manchester United to get a win in this match and start the celebrations thereafter.

Cheers and good luck,
