Manchester United is at risk of finishing even outside the top 7 at the end of the season in the Premier League. The Red Devils have 54 points to their name and currently sit in eighth place. A victory today would allow them to equal Chelsea’s points tally in seventh place. The recent results of the Mancunians have been disappointing for fans, with just one win in their last seven Premier League matches. In the last round, they suffered a crushing 0-4 defeat to Crystal Palace away from home. Despite numerous setbacks, under the guidance of Erik ten Hag, they have remained undefeated in four consecutive home matches, with two wins and two draws. Many of these unconvincing results can be attributed to numerous personnel losses. Today, defenders Willy Kambwala, Raphael Varane, Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, and Luke Shaw, as well as midfielder Mason Mount, will not play. The club’s management is already looking to strengthen the squad, with young defensive midfielder Jo?o Neves from Benfica currently in focus.
Arsenal still harbors hopes of finishing at the top of the table at the end of the season. However, to achieve this, they not only need to win their remaining two matches but also hope for slip-ups from “Manchester City,” who are two points ahead. After the unexpected home defeat to “Aston Villa” (0-2), the Gunners embarked on a powerful four-match winning streak, with an impressive goal difference in these encounters: 13-2. In the previous round, Mikel Arteta’s team hosted “Bournemouth” and encountered few problems (3-0). They managed to control the game completely, although they initially struggled to convert their chances. It’s worth noting that the opponent only had two shots on target, while the Gunners had nine. “Arsenal” has notably improved their away performances throughout the season. In their last eight away matches, the Londoners have secured seven wins and one draw.
