MANCHESTER UNITED will do everything in their power to stop Arsenal from winning the Premier League title – and just avoiding defeat on Sunday could be enough.
However, this is easier said than done based on the Red Devils’ recent performances.
Erik ten Hag’s men were held to a 1-1 draw by relegation-threatened Burnley almost a fortnight ago.
Then things went from bad to worse last Monday as they were on the wrong end of a 4-0 battering courtesy of Crystal Palace.
Meanwhile, their arch-nemesis Arsenal have been in phenomenal form this calendar year – securing 42 out of 46 points and most recently thrashing in-form Bournemouth 3-0.
But one slip-up for the Gunners could see them hand the title to Manchester City and United will be well aware of that.
