Feels Like A Win For Manchester United?....

Surely, grabbing a goal in the last ten minuites of a game should have put Manchester United on an immediate high?
A crucial point was gained when Carlos Tevez nodded in late (88) for the Champions. The point means Man Utd can mathematically afford to lose at Stamford Bridge next week, and still win the Premier League due to their superior goal difference. On the other side, a win at the Bridge seals the title up once and for all.
Anyone who has seen the match will agree that Manchester United were unlucky to walk away with just the one point, and many look to Blackburn goalkeeper Brad Friedel as the key to Blackburn's success. Still, the importance was clear on the face of captain Rio Ferdinand when Carlos Tevez ran to the United fans to celerbrate.
Manchester United fans may look to a bucket-load of horror decisions from Rob Styles for the frustrations which unfolded at Ewood Park, however the reality is much more sobering for followers of the Red half of Manchester. Wayne Rooney was lucky to recieve only the Yellow card he did after an early foul and a poor display of discipline. Later on in the game, Wayne Rooney limped off with a hip injury which many believed would rule him out of the mid-week clash at the Nou Camp in the Champions League. The latest from the club however is that he should be fit to play.
Overall, it was a bizzare night for Manchester United. They cannot lose site of the fact that a win in their next game will see them once again Champions of England. Sir Alex knows that these dropped points could de-moralise his team, despite the dramatic manner in which the one point was eventually salvaged from the fire, but United are in as good a situation as they were before Chelsea sqaured off with Wigan a week ago.
It must now be full steam ahead for Manchester United, who face the prospect of Chelsea in a Barcelona sandwhich.

In case you didn't catch the game, here are some highlights.

Manchester United vs. Arsenal
Old Trafford, 16:00GMT

It's simple for Arsenal. They must win this game to have any hope of salvaging something from their once so promising season. Last time the Gunners came to Old Trafford, they found themsleves on the wrong end of a 4-0 spanking in the FA Cup - arguably a turning point in their season. This being said, revenge is a dish best served cold, and Arsene Wenger knows all about to passion and controversy of this fixture in the league. The champions can also rest assured the Arsenal will be fired up for this one.
Much has been made of Arsenal's "title-squandering run or form", but the dramatic win over Bolton seemed to have installed new belief into Arsenal, until last week. 3 failured against Liverpool - capped of by a heart-breaking UCL exit has left Arsenal's season in tatters. Arsenal have won just 2 of their last 12 games in all competitions.
Manchester United struggled to a point against 'Boro last week but, as everyone who saw the game knows, it could have been worse. The drive and determination of the champions sees them in high spirits ahead of this tie, knowing just how crucial it is to pile the pressure onto Chelsea, and finish off Arsenal once and for all.
United's form in the League is bettered only by Chelsea. They recently recorded a huge result against Roma without too many problems, and are widely believed to be playing the best football in the country. Man Utd have lost just one game in their last 13 in all competitions.
Arsenal will be without Mathieu Flamini and Bakary Sagna. Robin van Persie is thought to be a likely starter.
Manchester United have Rio Ferdinand fit for this game, and Patrice Evra is also likely to come back. Rooney and Ronaldo will both come back in after mid-week rests. Gary Neville is not expected to be handed a start just yet, whilst Nani, Flethcer and Saha are all sidelined.

Everything points towards a United victory, and the occasion will prove the biggest obstacle.

Prediction:

Manchester United 2 : 1 Arsenal
