    Man Utd vs Arsenal prediction: Free betting tips, odds and Premier League preview

Defeat on penalties to Fulham in the cup followed and then there was a 1-1 draw at Sociedad in midweek in Europe.They’re down in 14th spot, nine points away from the top half and 11 away from sixth spot – both of which look out of reach in what has been a shocker of a campaign.And Arsenal can capitalise after a stunning midweek win of their own.A goalless draw at the City Ground in their last league game has all but killed their title challenge with Liverpool stretching well clear.But to follow that up with a stunning 7-1 win at PSV in their Champions League first leg showed they can score goals without a striker and they must be brimming with confidence making the trip north.And the Gunners have won the last three league encounters between the sides, conceding once in that time.Cheltenham Festival betting offers and free betsFirst scorer and correct score predictionsCorrect score: 1-3 at 14/1 with Betfred – HEREFirst scorer: Martin Odegaard at 19/2 with talkSPORT BET – HEREMan Utd vs Arsenal latest oddsOdds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.How to claim..William Hill £60 welcome bonusVisit the William Hill website HERE*Register an account using the Promo Code: T60Once your account is registered, click ‘opt in’ on the ‘Vegas Promotion’ pageDeposit a minimum of £10 in your main account to receive a £20 Vegas Bonus for use on Selected GamesThen place a bet with a minimum stake of £10 at odds of 1/2 or greater on any football marketOnce that’s settled, your account will be credited with £40 in free betsWilliam Hill: Claim £60 welcome bonus – click here*Man Utd vs Arsenal predictions and tipsStand inMikel Merino isn’t a centre forward – but he’s making a terrific job of standing in as one.Two goals off the bench at Leicester has secured him as the first choice to lead the line and he backed that up with a goal and assist in midweek.Gunners can score as many as they want here and no surprises to see him involved.Mikel Merino to score or assist at 29/20 – CLAIM HEREWood he manage?Jurrien Timber opened the scoring in midweek, making a late run into the back post to rise high and score with his head.But despite all the big men up from the corner, he’s also getting plenty of first contacts and likely should have more goals to his game.Outside shout but United’s defending from set pieces has been suspect in recent weeks and again not a forlorn hope.Jurrien Timber 1 or more shots on target at 9/2 – CLAIM HERE*William Hill. 18+.

That was a gimmick. That bit was set up.”Most read in FootballIShowSpeed’s viral moments were plannedA video showing him being turned away by security was stagedCredit: CBSCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSRichards also revealed that the coverage of IShowSpeed, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr, and Carragher going head-to-head was all pre-planned too.The inside secrets of CBS don’t stop there either.Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards walk off CBS Sports set after Liverpool hero Alisson’s post-match interviewRichards was probed on why the US coverage takes such an unusual approach to showing the football by podcast co-host Gary Lineker.Revealing that the broadcaster chooses to push the boundaries so their content can reach countries where they don’t have the rights to show the actual football and their tactical breakdown of it.The former Man City star said: “If you look at what CBS have created over the last four/five/six years, since they’ve been doing the Champions League.”They’ve absolutely nailed it with the crew that they get.”He added: “Because we don’t have the rights to show the tactical things in [the UK], we do all the tactical stuff before and it goes out in America – and we do some really good tactical things.”But how do you get an audience to engage? People like to see the fun stuff that we do. So they’ve just hammered social media”. More

    Footballer, 19, dies after drowning in his own stomach acid and ringing mum to say ‘I can’t do this anymore’

    A 19-year-old footballer has died suddenly after suffering from a mystery illness for months.Luca Manolache tragically called his mum in his final moments, and expressed concern that he may be dying to a nurse.Luca Manolache has tragically passed away aged 19Credit: Jam PressThe teenager’s cause of death was put down to drowning on his own stomach acid and a severe lung infection, according to the autopsy verdict.Reports suggest he also suffered a ruptuered aorta, triggering an internal haemorrhage.His mum, Ana Maria Manolache, and his dad Viorel, have been left utterly devastated over their son’s tragic passing.The former FCSB – previously known as Steaua Bucharest – and Dinamo player was extremely dedicated to his football, and never liked to miss a single game.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLOn 28 February, he began feeling severely unwell whilst out with a family member, Ana’s godson, who called an ambulance.Ana told local press that her son called her whilst she was in Bucharest, Romania, where she works.As his condition worsened, in the brief phone call, Luca was fearful and said: “Mum, Mum, I can’t do it anymore”.While Ana told press that he has asked a nurse on the scene: “Do you think I’m going to die?”.Most read in FootballManolache used to play for FCSBCredit: IMAGO/sport pictures-Razvan PasaricaWhilst in the ambulance, Luca began to complain that his vision disappeared, and that he couldn’t see anything.Ana rushed to be with her son who was transported to the County Hospital in Târgoviște, Romania.She unfortunately did not make it there in time, and Luca’s sister called her to tell her that he had passed away.Doctors worked hard to save his life however his body began to negatively react with his stomach acid, causing him to drown.Doctors told Ana that the circumstances of her son’s death were extremely rare.Luca was a midfielder for Metaloglobus București, but hadn’t played a single match since August 2024.He was forced to stop playing due to a series of incidents which saw him suffer from prolonged fatigue, dizziness and chills.The team and his parents began noticing that he was struggling to get through even just half of a football match.His football coach began to believe that he wasn’t preparing properly for his football games.One match even resulted in an ambulance being called as Luca complained that his vision had become black, and that he felt weak.He would have convulsions and a high temperature, but x-rays of his lungs and blood tests all came back normal.A physical test showed that he could only run on a treadmill for 10 minutes, and after stopping he immediately started to shake and had a fever.Manolache had been suffering from illness for monthsCredit: Jam PressDoctors presumed that Luca must have a strong infection in the body, and so they administered him antibiotics, paracetamol and pain medication.Luca took these tablets for a short time, and further repeated tests on his lungs, heart and gallbladder came back clear.One medical episode saw him spend two weeks in hospital after being taken in as an emergency.A doctor found that he had some peripheral blood vessels in his lungs however this was not seen as a serious issue.He had injections and took some medication to prevent his blood from clotting, a treatment which he had for six months.During this time, he was prohibited from exercise and his parents even took him to private clinics so he could be examined.His death came suddenly, shocking his relatives but also his teammates who he played football with.Metaloglobus București shared an emotional post on their Instagram just days ago in tribute to Luca, as reported by NeedToKnow.“We are shocked and deeply saddened by this tragic loss,” they wrote.“His love for football and his smile brought happiness on the field.“The last appearance in the Metaloglobus shirt was on August 24, 2024, in the match against CS Afumati, playing 10 minutes from the reserve position.“Following the game against CS Afumati, the player complained of fatigue during training, which led the technical staff to stop him from training and recommend thorough medical examinations.READ MORE SUN STORIES“Rest in peace dear ‘Mano’.“Sincere condolences to the grieving family, the entire Metaloglobus family is with you in these devastating moments.”Tributes have poured in for the 19-year-oldCredit: Jam Press More

    How Chelsea boss Maresca convinced Van Nistelrooy to take Leicester job before watching pal’s horror run

    ENZO MARESCA gave Ruud van Nistelrooy the Leicester lowdown and convinced his mate it was the right job.And Chelsea’s boss believes it is still a good gig even though his pal has won only two Premier League matches since taking over in December.Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has lifted the lid on his time at LeicesterCredit: GettyThe ace convinced pal Ruud van Nistelrooy to take charge at the King Power StadiumCredit: RexMaresca guided The Foxes to last season’s Championship title but they are now in freefall straight back out of the top flight. The Italian bids to further hammer his old club and Van Nistelrooy on Sunday at Stamford Bridge.Maresca said: “Ruud is a friend of mine. We played together and then after we have been in contact.“When Leicester called, he thought to call me and we had a chat. I said to him that Leicester is a fantastic club run by fantastic people.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL“I have said many times, I’m 30 years in football and it was probably the best people in football that I’d met. So I told him many good, positive things about Leicester.”Maresca and Van Nistelrooy briefly shared a dressing room while playing for Spanish side Malaga but will be in opposing dugouts on Sunday afternoon.City are desperate for points having taken only three points this calendar year.Maresca remains close to Van Nistelrooy’s players, too. Most read in FootballBEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERSThey even posted a picture of a banner declaring ‘Enzo we miss you’ during their Christmas party.The Italian said: “The only thing I can say is that I try to create a relationship with players where at the end, I feel very close to them and they probably feel very close to me.Chelsea legend John Terry goes on 5k run in preparation for London Marathon “This is probably the only reason. I still speak with many of Leicester’s players because we had a fantastic season last year and I’m very close to some of them.“I’ve been in football for more than 30 years. You struggle to find people so, so, so nice, that they care about the family, about the kids, about everything. They are fantastic.“But the most important thing, let me say, is that we need our fans on Sunday – 95 minutes, 100 minutes, we need to win the game. That is the most important thing.“At this moment, I’m focused on us. Now I’m here, I’m just thinking about us, how we can improve and then it’s more for Ruud, for the sporting director, for the owner to find a solution.”Leicester can expect no favours nor an easy approach with squad rotation.Key midfielder Moises Caicedo is one booking away from a two-game ban and Chelsea have arguably tougher matches looming against London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham.But Maresca will not consider resting his tough tackling £115million star.He said: “At this moment for us, it’s about winning games. We need to win games, so we cannot plan on giving Moi a rest thinking that he can play against Arsenal.“We need to win against Leicester and then we need to focus on how we can beat Arsenal. It’s just game by game and we need our best players on the pitch.“The position of Moises, if you see his background, last year he had 11-12 yellow cards, the year before the same, because he’s a midfielder. You are in the traffic. Sometimes you have to make some fouls. It’s normal.READ MORE SUN STORIES“Hopefully, he can avoid that until the end, knowing that probably it’s difficult, but the good thing is that we also have Romeo Lavia now, he’s started with us already. “He can be back. We need to be ready. Reece James can be a midfielder too so we’ll see.” More
