Manchester United is the world’s most famous soccer club, they attract the most high profile players and is the most successful club in England. However, even with all the propaganda surrounding “the Red Devils”, the season so far is not seemingly going as the expected. With leaders and old rivals Arsenal, a North-London side with a young flamboyant squad taking the English FA Premier League in their stride under mastermind Arsene Wenger, topping the league with a healthy lead of three points and a game in hand going into the decisive second half of the season. Arsenal is known to play the “sexiest football”[1] in the league, “We’re like Brazil when they’re at the top of their game. The best thing about us is how quick and precise we are”[2].
Arsenal’s new superstar Cesc Fabregas is clearly full of confidence, and so he should be with his clubs statistic this season. With the two sides already having had a fierce and competitive match at the start of November, with the score resulting in a 2-2 draw, the pair will not meet again until the 12th of April in the final critical weeks of the season. At this stage it is impossible to say who will be rewarded with the ultimate glory of being named the FA Premier League Champions, however it is not an outlandish statement to say that this season in the English soccer league is heating up to be one of the most cutthroat, exciting season’s ever.
