Manchester United/Arsenal
“One of the greatest and most intense rivalries of the last decade will resume with a vengeance as Manchester United will do battle with Arsenal in the Semifinals of the UEFA Champions League.” –Soccer Lense-
Arsenal has been playing better as of late, despite the fact that they haven’t been serious Premiership contenders all year. They’re riding a 20-match unbeaten streak in the Premiership which is their longest in a while.
Man U has been in a slump as of late but has been playing somewhat better. The scored 3 goals in 5 minutes on Saturday to come back against Tottenham, but has only 1 clean sheet in their last seven matches.
