Watch the Arsenal vs Manchester United live stream in the English Premiership on 1/5/2011 with another footballing lesson likely to be handed out at the Emirates on Sunday except it will not be from the Gunners. Arsene Wenger’s side has been at the mercy of their Old Trafford nemesis in recent years and in this live online stream commentary and live online radio broadcast English Premiership match between Arsenal and Man United the same outcome is likely to occur once again with the Gunners’ confidence totally shot and Wenger having no clue as to how to bring the club forward. Once again the north London giants were on course for a possible four trophy haul this season, but yet again their ambitions have been found wanting and the age-old accusation of an Arsenal side lacking mental grit and resilience has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. While Wenger continues to defend his team passionately by insisting there has been progress, the fact that he continues to call them a young side as an excuse no longer carries any weight in all sections – even with Arsenal fans. Theirs is an experienced team with established internationals in every position. It is simply clear that the current Gunners team has no real leader and no mental resolve to knuckle down and make that necessary step to become winners. The most gnawing example was in the Carling Cup final in which they lost via a last minute goal to a clearly inferior Birmingham side. The next piece of evidence was when they succumbed to a Manchester United side with seven defenders in the FA Cup – a clear ploy by Ferguson who knows how to beat the Gunners and has shown how easy it is time and again. It is to play a more physical game and then grind them away with the Arsenal players spending more time complaining than fighting for the win.

Arsenal must shore up their defence with more physical players and one must not forget the former Invincibles were not necessarily made up of the silky touch and pass defenders but instead legendary stalwarts and hardmen like Tony Adams, Sol Campbell, Martin Keown and more. That has also shown that Wenger is not as good a manager as he has been made out to be – his early Arsenal success was built on the foundations laid by the predecessors at the club and since then his attempts to find an equally good backline has failed miserably every season. While they may cope against the smaller sides, their defence has always crumbled against the big teams. Last season Gael Clichy was clearly incompetent against United and Chelsea’s marauding wingers, while this season Laurent Koscielney continues to establish his one-man clown show in the heart of defence. Wenger has of course suffered without the services of the injured Thomas Vermalaen but his insistence on not signing up capable replacements while going for ‘potential’ has led to the team being exposed in the most crucial of times. Upfront, Robin van Persie is undoubtedly a class act but the Dutchman spends more time on the treatment table, while his strike partners have come and gone and shown a lack of enduring quality. In midfield, captain Cesc Fabregas no longer plays with his heart in the club and should clearly be let go, with Samir Nasri the only player to have acquitted himself sufficiently well this season but has also faded in recent months. This all points to another commanding display from Man Utd at the Emirates Stadium with Ferguson laughing his way to the club’s 19th league title as they crush Arsenal in their way.

Three points should be in the bag for Manchester United in this live English Premier League online streaming football match given their recent record against Arsenal. It is the formula with which Ferguson has already hit upon in knowing how to beat the Gunners that has established this superiority. The Old Trafford side knows exactly how to overcome whatever Arsenal has to throw at them and has the resources to do it comfortably. Simply play their physically power individuals, rough up the Gunners and strike them on the counterattack. It has worked time and again with recent examples in the FA Cup as well as earlier in the season at Old Trafford when Arsenal lost 1-0 to Man Utd with Park Ji Sung scoring the winner. Ferguson acknowledges that it will never be pretty football as his side trumps the Gunners but the three points are all that matters and that separates the winners from the wannabes. South Korean Park is likely to make the start again as he typifies the kind of player Ferguson delights in putting out against Arsene Wenger’s men – hardworking, full of running and always capable of disrupting the opponents’ flow before hitting them with a sucker punch. Nani will also take part with Antonio Valencia on the opposite flank as both use their pace to pose questions to Arsenal’s questionable defence. The duo of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic are also more than capable of stopping the deadly but lightweight Robin van Persie. In midfield, expect the old guards of Paul Scholes or Ryan Giggs to run the show while Anderson, Darren Fletcher or John O’Shea will have the number of their counterparts.

Prediction: Arsenal are always a delight to watch in terms of football aesthetics – beautiful passing movements and scorers of incredible goals with nice buildup play. However, they are a poor man’s version of Barcelona and against the big sides their results show. Against Manchester United they have no chance despite all attempts by Wenger to talk his side up. Ferguson has all the answers and perhaps behind the scenes, treats the Gunners as a funny sideshow every season. Arsenal to lose 2-1 to Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium as the threat of finishing fourth in the league looms.
