Fergie: I feel sorry for Wenger

ALEX FERGUSON has offered shock support and sympathy to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

Fergie, whose Manchester United side host the Gunners tomorrow, said: Arsenal have had so many injury problems. If you don’t have your best players it is difficult to get the best result.

But it is not just having your best players but having the best squad available, to enable you to change when you need that bit of freshness.

Arsenal are on their knees after losing the Champions League quarter-final at Liverpool on Tuesday.

The Gunners have also thrown away a five-point lead in the league.

At each other's throats

And they go to Old Trafford six points adrift of table-topping United with five games left.

Defeat on Sunday and Arsenal will be looking at a third season without a trophy.

Fergie and Wenger have been at each other’s throats for the last decade.

But the Red Devils chief defended the Frenchman’s recent record and spending policy in the January transfer window.

Ferguson said: It just underlines how hard it is to win the Premier League. It is not easy. It is a tough league.

It is not easy to buy players in January — there’s not a lot you can do then.

mind game. dun worry, we will beat them. ;)

for manure, they will be happy wif a draw. cos their key defenders r missing n how r they going to stop us from scoring?

here's my pick for starting lineup:

----------------------------- Almunia --------------------------

Eboue --------- Toure ----------- Gallas --------- Clichy

Walcott ------ Fabregas -------- Song ----------- Hleb

---------------- van Persie ------ Adebayor ---------------

I pick Song ahead of Gilberto. This could be a good debut for Song, tis kid had been doing well in ANC n somehow i have feeling he can surprise us.

n for Almunia, it's Do-or-Die for him now.

Arsenal's season hangs on Old Trafford clash

By Mitch Phillips

LONDON, April 13 (Reuters) - The first of two games involving the three remaining Premier League title contenders takes place on Sunday when Manchester United host Arsenal (1500 GMT) when anything but a Gunners win will reduce the field to two.

With five games remaining United lead the way with 77 points to the 74 of Chelsea, who host Wigan Athletic on Monday.

Arsenal are third on 71 with Liverpool, who play Blackburn Rovers at Anfield on Sunday (1230), a distant fourth on 63, two clear of Everton, who drew 1-1 at Birmingham City on Saturday.

Arsenal's season has imploded completely in the last two months as a five-point Premier League lead has turned into a six-point deficit while they exited the FA Cup and the Champions League.

They have won only two of their last 12 matches in all competitions and claimed just one win from their last seven Premier League games.

Defeat, or even a draw, at Old Trafford on Sunday would effectively complete another trophyless season but manager Arsene Wenger has not given up hope of winning the league.

"It would be the greatest achievement of my career because we are swimming against the stream but I believe this team can produce it," the Frenchman said.

EPIC GAME

"Do you really think we will go to Manchester United thinking our season is over? That would be ridiculous."

Manager Alex Ferguson, who watched Arsenal's epic Champions League game at Anfield on Tuesday, said he thought it would be difficult for the Londoners to recover from such a defeat.

United go into Sunday's game in buoyant mood having beaten AS Roma 1-0 to secure a Champions League semi-final meeting with Barcelona.

They achieved that without needing to use Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored his 37th goal of the season in last week's 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough, and with Wayne Rooney involved only as a late substitute.

Whatever happens at Old Trafford though, much is likely to depend on United's trip to Chelsea in two weeks.

Chelsea have gradually closed in on the leaders and if United were to lose then Avram Grant's team could join them on 77 points by beating Wigan
