Manchester United will visit Arsenal on Wednesday in a crucial Premier League tilt for both sides.
Manchester United has fallen off a cliff in 2013-14 and has little hopes of finishing in the top four. Meanwhile, Arsenal is in a dogfight for first place and was given tremendous hope on Tuesday when Chelsea failed to pick up a win at West Bromwich Albion. With the 1-1 draw, the Blues extended their lead atop the table to just two points; with a win on Wednesday Arsenal can jump back into first place.
The team is coming off a painful 5-1 loss against Liverpool at Anfield; the team allowed four goals in the opening 20 minutes of play and looked lethargic throughout. Among the team's frustrations was the play of Mesut Ozil. The German continues to falter for the English side despite a strong start to the season.
"Ozil feels the pressure of course, because he knows a lot is expected when you are a big transfer. There is a big expectation level, but he should not worry about that, just play in the team and enjoy it, give his best. That is the best way to deal with it,'' said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, according to ESPN. "But on the other hand, you must say he doesn't come from a small club - he comes from Real Madrid where the pressure is always huge as well, so he is used to it.''
Prediction: Arsenal wins 1-0.
Start Time: Kick-off starts at 2:45 p.m. EST.
