Premiership Rivals To Square Off In F.A. Cup - 01-29-08
January 29 - The two best football teams in England's Premier League this season are Manchester United and Arsenal so the 5th round matchup in the F.A. Cup that matches them up is a soccer punter's dream. The odds will favor United as they get home field advantage. But although Arsenal have to travel to Old Trafford they will still have a big chance there.

Manchester United were too strong for Tottenham in the 4th round of the competition held over the past weekend. Spurs scored first but that just made Alex Ferguson's men angry and they responded with three goals to surge to a comfortable win.
Arsenal were equally impressive in a home win over Newcastle. The appointment of Kevin Keegan as the new manager for the Toon Army meant nothing as the Gunners brushed them aside in an imperious display.
Arsenal are already out of the Carling Cup and this could be a statement game for them. We look for them to give United all they can handle in this fixture and a draw could well be achieved.
