By Akinwale Kasali

The Theatre of Dreams as the Manchester United Football Club Stadium is called will be filled to capacity as British top clubs, Manchester United and Arsenal Football Club will lock horns in their Barclays English Premier League fixture.

Both teams are occupying the 5th and 11th position in the premier league log. Tonight’s host, Manchester United, is occupying the 11th position on the pole after six matches, losing two, winning two and drawing two.

This will be the third time coach Ole Gunnar Solksjaer will lead his team out of the tunnel to face Arsenal.

First was last season in the Emirates FA Cup fixture, with Solksjaer having the better of Coach Unai Emery side 3-1.

In their premier league fixture last season, Emery defeated Solksjaer 2-0 to end the season above Solksjaer’s Manchester United side.

Tonight, Emery has promised to use all the armoury in his Arsenal to triumph over Solksjaer at the Old Trafford Stadium, having led his side to a spectacular comeback against Aston Villa, despite being a goal down with Ainsley Maitland-Niles sent off for a bad tackle on El-Ghazi, his team won 3-2, while Solksjaer team are coming to this match from a 2-0 loss to West Ham United.

North- London side, Arsenal have won three matches, lost one and drew two matches to remain fifth on the log.

No doubt, both teams will want to prove their mettle and remain in the contest of who wins the coveted English Premier League for the 2019/2020 season.

Emery is expected to field Leno, Sokratis, Luiz, Bellerin, Kolasinac, Guendouzi, Torreira, Ceballos, Xhaka, Pepe and Aubameyang in his starting line up.

For Solksjaer, he is expected to start De Gea, Lindelof, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, Young, Pogba, Mc Tominay, Lingard, James, Martial and Rashford in his first eleven.

All road leads to Old Trafford for the explosive football rival between Manchester and London.
