13/04/2008 Premier League
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

UEFA Champions League : 11th March
Inter Milan Vs Liverpool - 7:45 K.O
Venue: San Siro
Liverpool managed to muster 2 crucial home goals, and more importantly kept a clean sheet. Liverpool travel with the news that in-form midfielder Javier Mascherano has been passed fit for the crucial decider, although Xabi Alonso has been left behind as he plans to stay with his wife, currently in labour.
Liverpool look the favourites to go through but if Inter manage an early goal, Rafa would be left with the dilemma of whether to attack and risk conceding another, or defend and attempt to contain this table topping side. However on the other hand, if Liverpool were to score an early goal, Inter would have to score 4, an impossible task against such a strong defence.
It will be interesting to see whether Lucas will come in for Alonso, playing holding midfield alongside him, or if Gerrard is pushed back, however Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez may tinker with the side again reverting back to his much maligned 4-4-2.
Another selection headache for Rafa is whether to play the in-experienced Skrtel alongside Carragher, with Hyypia on the bench, or Carragher alongside Hyypia with Skrtel watchin on. Rafa may use all 3, and rather than reverting Arbeloa to Right-Back, he may use Hyypia and Skrtel both in a central role, with Carragher filling up the Right-Back, although that seems an unlikely choice.
Inter Milan have Veteran Luis Figo and Luis Jiminez back for this clash, although this comes to soon for Ivan Cordoba and Walter Samuel. Chivu is also a slight injury doubt, along with former Chelsea front man Hernan Crespo, although both are looking ready for the crunch tie.
Liverpool and Rafa usually produce on the big nights, and I expect them to do just that.
Prediction - 1-0 (1-2) Liverpool through to Quarter Finals
