"BIG WAR" MU – ARSENAL: A mental test between 2 "giants"!
(Baonghean.vn) - Tomorrow night (February 28), fans will witness the most exciting "battle" of round 27 of the Premier League between two "giants" who are thirsty for points - Manchester United vs Arsenal. With home field advantage, can coach Luis Van Gall help the "Red Devils" make up for their mistakes with a victory after the humiliating defeat against the underdog Sunderland in the previous round? I'm afraid that with their ambition to win the title and their superior form, the "Gunners" will not easily "lose their shirts" in this important away trip.

MU's coaching staff is "powerless" in the face of the Red Devils' injury problems and poor form. |
This “big battle” will be a test of the spirit and mettle of the two leading teams in the Premier League. Both MU and Arsenal must win all 3 points to hope for their set goals. While the away team (Arsenal) needs 3 points to gain an advantage in the championship race with Leicester City, Man City and Tottenham, MU is equally thirsty for points with the goal of entering the TOP 4 and hoping for a place in the Champions League 2016-2017.

Will MU continue to find smiles at home Old |
The resounding past makes the history of confrontation between Man United vs Arsenal always a great battle of the Premier League. However, if we consider the current form of the two teams, the great battle is only big in name. Although Van Gaal's "children" have just had the joy of entering the 1/8 round of Europa League after "destroying" Midtjylland early this morning. But with the sinusoidal form, after about one or two sublime matches, this team has shameful results and performances. No one will dare to affirm that the "Red Devils" will no longer "give" fans the game of hide and seek. Manchester United's playing style under Louis Van Gaal is increasingly boring, bland, deadlocked to the point of weakness and unable to convince and it seems that Old Trafford has turned into "Theatre of sleep".
Will this important match be enough to wake up the “Red Devils”? More than ever, Man United need to “rise up” to keep 3 points for Old Trafford. Previous statistics are supporting that when they are the team with the better record in the last 4 receptions of Arsenal at Old Trafford, with 2 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss.

A3: Coach Wenger expects Ozil and Sanchez to continue to score against MU like last time. |
Meanwhile, the victory over Leicester City in the 26th round of the Premier League was truly a threat that the Gunners wanted to send to MU. They have proven their status as a "big boss" and the brightest candidate for the Premier League championship at the end of the season when they became the only team to decode the phenomenon of "the foxes". Always successful in the top matches of the Premier League, Arsenal showed that they are not afraid of any big bang match. It is the necessary confidence with a quality squad that has brought the dream of winning the Premier League after many years of waiting closer to them.
Perhaps tonight is not a test for MU but for Arsenal. They are the team under a lot of pressure after being continuously suppressed by Leicester City and then Tottenham. Is it true that Professor Arsene Wenger's army is really back in the race for the throne or are they just temporarily wearing a fake, flashy cloak?
If for more than a decade, Old Trafford seemed to be the "Theatre of Dreams" for MU and the death zone for Arsenal, now the times have changed. With so much pain and hatred, the "Gunners" are ready to pay everything back to the "Red Devils". Tomorrow night, the "Old Trafford theater" will be immersed in a nightmare called Arsenal. Ozil and Sanchez will continue to "shoot" and tear apart MU's net like the merciless 3-0 thrashing in the first leg at Emirates Stadium. That is also the way for the "Gunners" to ease the sadness that is covering the Emirates sky after the 0-2 defeat in hosting Barcelona in the 1/8 round of the European C1 Cup.
It is not difficult to point out the players who control the playing style of Arsenal and MU at the moment, that is Mesut Oezil and Juan Mata. The difference can be created from them, from sharp through balls or bold opening passes, and can also be created from each person's form.
Obviously, the thirst for points is turning the “big battle” between these two “giants” into the focus of round 27 of the Premier League. But it seems that a “demon” that is gasping for breath with the goal of TOP 4 will officially collapse without being able to revive because the “Gunners” are ready to accelerate to become kings.
