Manchester United vs Arsenal: The Gunners have not won at Old Trafford since 2006 and Jose Mourinho has an impressive record against them
Jose Mourinho is a man under significant pressure. Lose at home against Arsenal and the calls for his departure will grow even louder.The Gunners’ are unbeaten in their last 19 matches, Manchester United are seventh and drew their last game 2-2 with Southampton. Tonight’s outcome is seemingly apparent before a ball has been kicked.Jose Mourinho may be under pressure but he has only lost twice to Arsenal3

However, there is some good news for Mourinho. Since arriving in England with Chelsea 14 years ago, he has faced Arsenal on 19 occasions and only suffered defeat twice. One of those was in the Community Shield.His first encounter with the north London side was in December 2004. That day, his side twice came from behind against a Thierry Henry-inspired Arsenal to draw 2-2 en route to a first Premier League title.As the rivalry intensified over the years between these two teams, so to did the antagonism between him and Arsene Wenger. The pair shared a fractious relationship with Mourinho famously referring to the Frenchman as a ‘specialist in failure.’Wenger and Mourinho had a frosty relationship3

Wenger eventually managed to end his prolonged drought against the Portuguese, winning 2-0 at Emirates Stadium during the 2016/17 season to scupper United’s chances of a top four finish.Three points at Old Trafford, though, have proven even more elusive.In fact, you have to go all the way back to September 2006 for the last time Arsenal left there victorious. Emmanuel Adebayor was the match-winner that day, netting five minutes from the end on a frustrating afternoon for Sir Alex Ferguson’s side who could have already been a goal down hadTomas Kuszczak not saved a penalty from Gilberto Silva.Adebayor celebrates his winner for Arsenal at Old Trafford in 20063

The result mattered little in the end, as United went unbeaten until December and won the league ahead of Chelsea, the first of three successive titles.Significantly, tonight’s clashis the first in 82 meetings not to feature either Wenger or Ferguson.When Tyson Fury somehow rose from the canvas last Saturday it was seen by some as the ultimate revival, Mourinho will hope to avoid his own knockout blow on Wednesday evening.

Shaw is now an attractive FPL proposition

Christensen had a run in the team where he looked ordinary. Guess you started watching Chelsea games after the winter break then. Christensen had a brilliant first half last season being their most in form and best performing center back, then made some crucial mistakes in the subsequent half (Barcelona e.g.) leading him to get dropped for Cahill.
