Michael Owen makes conclusive top four prediction for Arsenal and Manchester United
Michael Owen on Arsenal vs Man Utd
Arsenal suffered a shock 3-1 loss to Rennes in their Europa League last-16 first leg on Thursday.
Owen says that result showcases the inconsistency of Unai Emery’s side, who picked up a well-deserved point against north London rivals Tottenham last Saturday.
But he admits Arsenal have to be on their game this Sunday or United will punish them.
“You mustn’t forget or cast your mind back too far, in the north London derby I thought Arsenal were very good against a very good team,” Owen said.
