Manchester United visits Arsenal FC in an all-big six matchup on Wednesday night. It’s also a meeting of two sides that routed their respective opponents this past weekend. United destroyed Everton 4-0 and Arsenal obliterated West Ham United 5-2. So if you’re scoring at home (but if you’re scoring the text of The Sports Bank articles at home, then this might be a good time to re-evaluate your life choices), that’s a 9-2 goal difference combined here.
No doubt, both sides should be brimming with confidence for this game.
