Arsenal Have to make most out of FA Cup opportunity


Arsenal face off against EPL rivals Manchester United at the Old Trafford here on Saturday at 10:45 IST. The Gunners have already faced the Red Devils in October and narrowly drew as the unlikely hero was skipper William Gallas after a Cesc Fabregas kick saw the net.

Manchester United nearly won and the hurt expressions on their faces conveyed their feelings after Arsenal’s injury time goal. Now the Red Devils will seek revenge on their home ground. But a few things are to the Gunners advantage:

1) Manchester United has had a slump of form where they have dropped 5 points in the last 2 games, drawing with Tottenham narrowly and losing to Manchester City having a full strength squad.
2) Emmanuel Adebayor has been in the form of his life, scoring in the last 9 matches and leading the Gunners to victory.
3) Inspirational Spaniard Cesc Fabregas, as usual has played his quiet yet explosive part in the Gunners’ form.
4) The passing abilities of the players led to many goals and victories.
5) Arsene Wenger has played his part by using brainy tactics to result in Arsenal’s victory.

These reasons can lead the Gunners to a victory and a safe passage to the next round.

GO GUNNERS!!!!!!!!
