Man United-Arsenal: ransom for one

Manchester United - Arsenal is always a big game: the importance of the meeting in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, however, is greatly increased in the light of the disappointing results with which the two teams are presented to this meeting. Wenger's team, which arrived in February on four fronts in the race, has seen two of these objectives vanish within ten days, dropping the first final at Wembley in the Carling Cup and then to Barcelona in the second round of Champions: This event would also fail a very heavy blow especially to the psychological level for a group on whose inability to win have been discussed for years.

Ferguson on the other hand looks at Old Trafford after what he called "a difficult week" means the Red Devils have stumbled for the first time this season in two consecutive defeats against Chelsea and Liverpool, who have reopened the title race . Sir Alex has to deal also with a long injury list which includes dwarves (out until after the time taken for National), Ferdinand, Anderson, Evans, Park, Owen and Valencia, the latter returned to almost full capacity for training , with the decisive engagement of the Champions League at the Gates (Tuesday against Olympique Marseille) on the choices of the headaches increased formation of Ferguson.

Song Walcott and Arsenal are still missing in addition to the "victims" of the Camp Nou, Fabregas and Szczesny: confidence required to Almunia in goal, however, a positive protagonist in Catalonia, Van Persie in attack is available and will wear the captain's armband. Over the past six comparisons between the two clubs, Manchester United has never lost and has won the last three, most recently in the Premier in December (1-0, Park).

In the championship the Red Devils have three points ahead of the Gunners, who have however played a game less.
