“This is a difficult one,” Burley said on ESPN FC.
“Let’s be honest, again against Southampton they (United) were rotten to watch, got a draw.
“Arsenal have been great, I’m actually going to go for Arsenal (to win).
“I’ve just been so impressed by what Unai Emery has done in a short period of time.

Mourinho takes swipe at Arsenal ahead of Premier League clash
“He’s integrated his way of playing so far.
“I’m going to go for them to pile more misery on Jose Mourinho.”
Mourinho was discussing Arsenal at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
And he hit out at their unbeaten run, claiming it has been helped because they play in the Europa League, not Champions League.
“It’s a very difficult match for us,” Mourinho said.

“We play against a good team in a good moment with a good run of results [but] without the accumulation of matches because they play Europa.
“When you play Europa League you normally play with second choices and you can give a good rest to your [first team] players compared to those in the Champions League, where we have to play in the maximum of our potential.
“It’s an accumulation of matches and you arrive in December where many teams pay the price for that.
“When you play Europa – I have done that – it’s not the motivation for the club but it’s good to develop the team and to have people fresh.”
United are without Ashley Young for the visit of Arsenal due to suspension, with Granit Xhaka missing for the same reason for the Gunners.
