Arsenal given more time to prepare for Man Utd as fixture rescheduled during Premier League title race
The game between Arsenal and Manchester United has been rescheduled for live TV coverage. The fixture will now take place on Sunday, May 12, giving Arsenal an extra day to prepare following their game against Bournemouth. This extended preparation time may impact their performance as they strive to secure a win at Old Trafford, where they have not been victorious since 2020. The outcome of the Arsenal vs. Manchester United match is anticipated to play a significant role in determining the title race, as Arsenal is currently competing with Manchester City and Liverpool for the Premier League title.
Sitting at the top of the table with 71 points, Arsenal hopes to maintain their position and stave off fierce competition from their rivals. As the season approaches its conclusion, Arsenal’s coach, Mikel Arteta, has emphasized the tight competition for the title. He acknowledges the necessity for his team to minimize mistakes in order to stay in contention for the top spot. The club aims to learn from their previous season’s shortcomings, where a late slump resulted in a second-place finish behind Manchester City.
The intense competition and the small margins separating the top teams in the league highlight the importance of consistent winning performances for Arsenal to have a chance at claiming the Premier League title, according to Arteta.
