Bettor.com analyzes the names which could possibly star in Saturday’s pivotal tie at Old Trafford.
Manchester United:
Robin Van Persie:
Once hailed as a hero at the Emirates, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 faithful in the process.
While his reputation in the capital may not count for much, Van Persie has continued his sublime form at the Theatre of Dreams, becoming the team’s top scorer in the process.
Having scored against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 last weekend, the front-man will be raring to when the game kicks-off tomorrow and the spot light will surely be on him.
However, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, has backed the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753’ star to continue his good work with his new club and emerge victorious a brilliant outing to his name.
"If you think about the Southampton game, he misses a penalty, they're losing 2-1, but still he wins United the game," he said while talking to the media.
Continuing, the former Chelsea man added that Van Persie has managed to maintain his composure since missing that spot-kick against Southampton and instead of taking his eye off the ball, he has instead grown considerably since then.
"Certain players would cave in after missing that penalty and would go missing. Certain players not. And those players are playing for the biggest teams, and Van Persie is one of them."
Wayne Rooney:
‘He goes by the name of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736’ sang United supporters as the mercurial attacker orchestrated attacks against Chelsea at the Bridge. And while he didn’t get on the score sheet, Rooney has redefined himself as a play-maker with a license to go forward at will.
This season in particular, his strength lies bombarding in front of the opponent’s goal and carving out chances for Van Persie.
Against Arsenal, United will need to him to be at his very best; primed and ready to shine.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 will play him behind the main striker and considering how the player likes to run all over the field and help out his fellow teammates, Rooney will surely be much more than an attacking outlet.
For the Red Devils, he is their hero and one who deserves a certain amount of respect after playing with his heart on his sleeve since arriving as a burly teenager in 2004.
Arsenal:
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Santi-Cazorla-c32505:
With fifty Spanish caps to his name, Santiago Cazorla already stands out in the Arsenal team after amassing a regular berth in the La Roja setup during the age of Xavi and Iniesta.
As the Gunners have struggled to maintain their prowess in the Premier League, Cazorla is a breath of fresh air for Arsene Wenger.
A midfielder, buoyed with the ability to find the back of the net and assist with ease, he has certainly taken the League by storm and will certainly be singled out by Sir Alex in his build-up to the game.
However, containing the Spaniard is far from an easy proposition, as he is genuinely two-footed and can wreak major havoc on his day.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonny-Evans-c19085 have been tasked with making sure that Cazorla is limited to harmless ball possession, but only time will tell whether the duo can stop one of the best midfielders in the English Premier League or not.
