I wrote this back in January to compare the fixtures of Manchester United and Arsenal. I expected Arsenal to be level on points right now with United (which we will be if we win our game in hand). I predicted United to lose at both Liverpool and Chelsea but the defeat at Wolves was a bonus!
I expected the draw at Newcastle (albeit not the circumstances!) but not the home draw with Sunderland . Chelsea are back in the race and are now included.
MATCH 30:
United v Bolton : Coyle´s men have picked up lately but United remain Kings at home. WIN ( = United Win and applies to each team and their fixtures)
WBA v Arsenal : West Brom are yet to be beaten since Di Matteo´s sacking and Arsenal will do well not to underestimate them. Must-win game though. WIN
M31:
West Ham v United : I said it back in January and I still believe it now - West Ham will beat United. They always raise their game against United (they also have a North-South rivalry going on) and crushed them 4-0 in the Carling Cup. The Hammers are a lot better and United do not travel well. DEFEAT
Arsenal v Blackburn : Blackburn are in turmoil right now with the inexperienced Kean expected to be sacked shortly by the Indians - Back The Gunners to cash in. WIN
Stoke v Chelsea : I hate to say it but Ugly Pulis is a tough nut at home. Chelsea are physical enough but a Stoke sliding dangerously close to the relegation zone could rugby tackle themselves to a point there. DRAW
M32:
United v Fulham: Hughes´men will be in comfort zone in April and United will win handsomely. WIN
Cheslea v Wigan : Will Martinez still be there? It won´t matter as Wigan will be brushed aside at Stamford Bridge . WIN
Beginning of April:
United 66
Arsenal 66 (1 game less)
Chelsea 56 (1 game less)
