比賽前瞻：阿森納

狀態指引

在上週末，曼聯與布萊克浦的比賽被迫延遲，阿森納成功把握機會，在主場以2比1擊敗富
勒姆之後，超越曼聯，成為英超領頭羊，在週三，溫格的球隊也以3比1擊敗游擊隊，成功
晉級歐冠的淘汰賽，同樣在歐冠，曼聯在主場以1比1戰平瓦倫西亞，同樣取得出線資格，
接下來，曼聯在聯賽，會先後遭遇阿森納和切爾西，近年，曼聯在與阿森納的交鋒往績上
佔優，過去10次相遇，只輸掉2場比賽，共打進19 球。

傷兵情報

阿森納的邊後衛吉布斯在對游擊隊的比賽中腳踝受傷，肯定會缺席本場比賽，而隊長法佈
雷加斯仍在與腳筋傷勢抗爭，對阿森納而言，好消息是久傷復出的范佩西，在周中的歐冠
賽事中取得進球，他將首發上場，而在曼聯方面，弗格森有信心埃弗拉以及斯科爾斯會上
場，費迪南德也有可能在這場大戰中復出。

明星球員

納斯里缺席這個夏天的世界盃，這反倒激發他在新賽季，為阿森納貢獻最佳狀態，在21場
比賽中共打進21球，在上週末，他打進兩記超級進球，在球場上，納斯里有很好的爆發力
，突然加速以及腳下功夫嫻熟，這讓他成為阿森納前鋒線的致命武器之一，曼聯球迷應該
會記得在2008年，球隊在酋長球場以1比2敗北的賽事中，納斯里的梅開二度。

主教練

溫格和弗格森的對抗自1996年9月開始，當時溫格在格拉漢姆之後，剛接任阿森納的主教
練，他很快就改變了阿森納的面貌，讓球隊從傳統沉悶的防守球風中，轉化為一支踢法華
麗的進攻型球隊，充滿創造力，自此之後，阿森納共三次奪得英超冠軍，四次奪得足總杯
冠軍，在執教阿森納期間，溫格的球隊在聯賽與曼聯共遭遇 28次，取得9勝8平11負的成
績。

裁判

作為英超賽場上最受好評的裁判，韋伯將成為這場比賽的主裁判，在2010年，此前曾擔任
警官的韋伯成為第一名，在同一個賽季，既執法歐冠決賽，也執法世界盃決賽的裁判，在
9月，韋伯曾執法曼聯在主場以3比2擊敗利物浦的英超比賽。

Manchester United v Arsenal

Partizan, not shackled by either hope or expectation, provided a tougher test
at the Emirates midweek but once again Arsenal found what they needed to
secure the win. Something which they’ve done on more than one occasion this
season and which strengthens the belief that this could be a very successful
campaign. There have been some issues at home but on the road, particularly
domestically, the Gunners have excelled. Their single away loss in the
Premier League was to Chelsea in a game Arsenal dominated for long periods
and Arsène Wenger would have felt his side deserved a lot more from.

Manchester United’s home record may look impressive on paper but the reality
is that they’ve struggled to impress on more than one occasion. A near
perfect league record at Old Trafford is at least in part due to the parity
of the opposition. The 7-1 win over Blackburn was a perfect example of a side
accepting defeat before a ball has even been kicked. Arsenal aren’t so
easily intimidated and if they can take the opportunities they are sure to
create then they can move further clear at the top of the Premier League
table.

Having won their last four away league games Arsenal will go in to this game
in confident mood. With Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie now back and
scoring Wenger has all the attacking options he needs to fashion a win at Old
Trafford. The Da Silva twins look to be weak points at full-back, though only
Rafael is expected to start. With Rio Ferdinand either out injured or back
and lacking match sharpness, going on the attack is the best philosophy in
this game. Sitting back and playing cagey, tactical football simply allows
United to play themselves in to the game. Putting them on the back foot
exposes an unsettled backline and a midfield which lacks a leader. The 3/1 on
Arsenal to win looks like one of the best Premier League prices of the
weekend.

Creating chances won’t be a problem as long as Arsenal adopt their usual
positive approach, and it’s difficult to see them not doing so, the key will
be making sure they take those chances. SAMIR NASRI is in lethal scoring
form at the moment and thanks to the match prices he’s a very tasty 10/1 to
score first and 10/3 to score anytime. Despite his below par performance
against Partizan, Andrey Arshavin has proven before that he can really raise
his game against the bigger teams and at 7/2 to score anytime he’s worth a
bet to bounce back with a goal. For some reason the 35/1 on the Russian to
score two or more really appeals and doesn’t require a big risk to make a
tidy profit.

A trip to Old Trafford is rarely easy but if Arsenal attack from the start
then they could make this a comfortable win and 2-0 at 19/1 and 3-1 at 30/1
shouldn’t be considered the long-shots these prices suggest they are.
