Default Manchester United v Arsenal

These two being paired so early meant you could be sure of one thing - Frank Stapleton won't be short of a few bob this week with all the media work that will come his way. His reaction to the draw was a classic. "People felt after the weekend's games that two of the big four might meet and that's what's come out. Who is going to win is another question." I mean come on! If the big man sat on the fence any more he'd get splinters up his bum cheeks. In recent times the Gunners have had the edge over United (winning two and drawing one of their last three encounters) but the layers fancy United here and the Old Trafford outfit are no bigger than 6/5 to win the match. Cristiano Ronaldo predictably heads the first goalscorer betting but on current form I reckon the man to be with is Emmanuel Adebayor. A few years ago say the word Emmanuel to me and I'd immediately be transported back to heavenly nights spent as a teen 'enjoying' Sylvia Kristel in all her glory. Say it to me now though and I think Togolese goal machine. Adebayor has bagged 12 goals in his last nine games and is quite simply on fire. Bookies offering odds of better than 2/1 about him scoring at OT deserve all they get.
