Manchester United were back in action in the English top flight on Wednesday as they traveled to Crystal Palace. Unfortunately, the Red Devils could only settle for a 1-1 draw. Their key player Casemiro also picked up his fifth yellow card in the league this season, ruling him out of action ahead of the weekend.
Arsenal, meanwhile, had a whole week to rest as they had no games to play in midweek. This means they’ll be the fresher side when the two clubs clash in London at the weekend. This, according to David de Gea, is an unfair advantage to Mikel Arteta’s men.
David de Gea also commented on his performance in the Crystal Palace clash. The goalkeeper was pleased with the big save in the first half of the game but disappointed that his side couldn’t secure all three points.
He said:
David de Gea has made 26 appearances for Manchester United across all competitions so far this season, recording 12 clean sheets. The Spaniard is expected to be in goal when the Red Devils face Arsenal on Sunday.
Highlighting Manchester United and Arsenal’s last five results
Following Wednesday’s result, Manchester United now have four wins and one draw to their name in their last five games across all fronts. The Red Devils defeated the likes of Bournemouth, Everton, Charlton and Manchester City before playing a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.
Similarly, Arsenal have bagged four victories in their last five games in all competitions. They defeated Tottenham Hotspur, Oxford United, Brighton and West Ham and played out a goalless draw with Newcastle United.
It is worth noting that the Red Devils are the only team who have gotten the better of Mikel Arteta’s men in the English top flight so far this season. Will things pan out differently this weekend?
