The London club in the last round of the championship played successfully on the road against Newcastle, beating the latter with a score of 2:0. Perhaps, the Gunners gave too much strength in this match with the Magpies, because the most important match of the season ended unsuccessfully for them this week. As part of the Europa League, Arsenal hosted Villarreal and could not find an approach to the goal of the Spaniards. The 0:0 draw left Mikel Arteta’s charges behind the European Cup. The first game ended with the victory of the yellow submarine with a score of 2:1. Thus, the season for Arsenal has clearly not been chosen. The chances of making it to the European competition through the championship are negligible. The Gunners are now in ninth place in the championship standings. They have 49 points on their balance sheet. Even from the sixth Tottenham, they are seven points behind. One of the reasons for the failure in the current championship is the weak performance of Arsenal in the second half of the championship. So, in the last 14 rounds, Mikel Arteta’s wards have won only five times, while they have never won twice in a row during this period. We also note that in the last home games Arsenal looked weak. In five previous matches, the Gunners managed to lose to Everton (0:1), Manchester City (0:1) and Liverpool (0:3), ended in a draw with Fulham (1:1) and beat Tottenham (2:1). In general, in 17 home games in the current championship, the London club won only six times, lost seven matches and drew four. Midfielder Granit Jaka and defender David Luiz will not play in this match due to injuries.
This week, as expected, the Red Devils secured their entry into the Europa League final. Despite the defeat to Roma with a score of 2:3, the victory in the first meeting of the confrontation with the Romans 6:2 was more than enough for the overall success. The meeting of the last round of the championship with Liverpool ended in a scandalous trick of the fans, who, in protest against the policy of the club’s management, broke into the football field, as a result of which the match had to be postponed. Thus, the fans of the club did a disservice to Manchester United. The match was postponed to May 13th, which means that in the next seven days, Mankunians will have to play four matches at once. Quite a tight schedule. Now in the Premier League standings, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s wards are in second place. They are 13 points behind leading Manchester City and four ahead of Leicester. On the road Manchester United is one of the best teams in the current championship. Moreover, the Red Devils are the only team that has not yet lost a single away match. For 17 matches on fields of rivals, the Mancunians won ten victories and drew in seven matches. Forward Anthony Martial and defender Phil Jones will miss the match due to injuries. Questionable is Daniel James. So, what is the soccer bet prediction for today?
