Arsenal-Manchester United Preview

Arsene Wenger will be demanding a response from his team after their 5-1 loss at Anfield, while the Red Devils will be hoping to erase all memory of a desperate draw with Fulham.

 
David Moyes's tactical acumen will be closely scrutinised when Manchester United take on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.

The Scot is facing mounting calls to change the Red Devils' attacking approach following the disappointment of being held to a 2-2 draw against the Premier League's bottom side, Fulham, at Old Trafford on Sunday.

United made more crosses (81) in a single game than any other team since the start of the 2006-07 season during the Fulham encounter, but were left to rue their wastefulness in the final third.

Mourinho: Moyes can get Manchester United in the top four

The Chelsea boss, who sanctioned the sale of Juan Mata to Old Trafford in January, believes the Red Devils' season is far from over and expects the Scot to ignite a response.

 
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho insists Manchester United can secure a top-four finish in the Premier League, despite their ongoing struggles.

A last-gasp draw at home to Fulham on Sunday - secured by Darren Bent's 94th-minute header - heaped further pressure on Old Trafford manager David Moyes, with United falling nine points behind fourth-placed Liverpool, who occupy the final Champions league qualification spot.

However, Mourinho has backed Moyes to use all his experience to turn the ailing Red Devils around, though he warned they will have to show excellent form to chase down the leading pack.
