By the time Arsenal play this match they could be nine points away from the top four.  That's if Manchester City get a home win over Crystal Palace on Saturday. Even worse the Gunners could be 12 points behind Liverpool if the Reds beat Southampton earlier on Sunday.  This really is a game Arsenal just have to win, they certainly can't afford to lose to fifth placed United as that would put an eight point gap between the two sides with Arsenal just having one game in hand. The Gunners might even start this game in seventh place if Everton beat Swansea on Saturday. A vital game for Arsenal but they only have ten points from their last eight league games and it's looking like Europa League football for them next season. At home, Arsenal have only lost one of their last eight games, it's the run of five league defeats in the last six away matches that is wrecking their season.  Manchester United come into this game three days after their Europa League semi-final game at Celta Vigo and that might be a factor. However, they have won four and lost two of their games played straight after Europa League away games including wins over Spurs and Chelsea. United are in good form away from home with 24 points from their last ten on the road. A difficult result to predict with Arsenal good at home and United in form on their travels, go for under 2.5 goals in what should be a tight game.
