Ex-Arsenal player Paul Merson says he cannot see how Manchester United can beat his former side at Old Trafford on Wednesday 5th.
The Gunners head into the clash full of confidence after beating north London rivals Tottenham 4-2 on Sunday at the Emirates. The victory saw the Gunners displace Spurs in the top four while extending their unbeaten run to 19 matches in all competitions, 12 in the Premier League. ‘
And the Sky Sports pundit believes Unai Emery’s men will extend their unbeaten run to 20, although he has explained the way he thinks his former side should line up tomorrow.
“In the past, we’ve seen Arsenal go to Old Trafford in form, play well, but somehow still end up losing the game,” said Merson.
“However, unless Manchester United really pick up their game, or the Gunners hit a brick wall after their efforts against Tottenham, I just can’t see how United win. I really can’t! I hope Unai Emery plays the side that finished the game against Tottenham, playing two up front with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, because that will cause United all sorts of problems,” he added
