3 Talking Points before the game between Arsenal and Manchester United

#1 Possession based football vs Counter attacking masterclass

Ole's last away win in the league this season came against Crystal Palace (3-1 for Utd)

With wingers like Martial, Rashford and Lingard, Manchester United have run riots in every game they have played under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Ole has learned of his team's abilities within no time and he plays one of the best counter-attacking football in all of England.

On the other hand, Emery has been trying to implement his style of possession-based football on the team, but he hasn't been much convincing yet due to the fact that he doesn't have such players who are press resistant and calm with the ball.

However, we have seen Emery's side play some good counter-attacking football as well. Arsenal's training videos have shown that Emery is making the team learn playing in quick transitions. They have scored some eye-catching goals whilst counter-attacking, most famous being the one against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

By the end of the game, Arsenal will obviously have more possession of the ball, but what matters is how they resist or cease Manchester United's counter-attacking threats from the wings.
