LONDON, Jan 13 — Arsenal face a searching test of their title credentials in the hurly-burly of a north London derby this weekend as in-form Manchester United host defending champions Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta’s young Arsenal team are in the middle of a run of fixtures that could make or break their title challenge. Tottenham Hotspur have been inconsistent but are within touching distance of the top four and have not suffered a home league defeat against Arsenal since 2014. “We are going to train really hard and we will use the energy, how we felt last year, and use it going into the game,” said Smith Rowe.Old Trafford has been a happy hunting ground for Pep Guardiola’s men in recent years — they have only lost twice there in the league since 2011.
Marcus Rashford is the man in form for United, scoring seven times since returning from World Cup duty in Qatar, where he impressed for England. “Every game is different, different competition,” he said. “But of course, if we perform in this way, we will not have a chance.”The Merseyside team have lost four of their past five Premier League games and are mired in the relegation zone — just three points above basement club Southampton, whom they host on Saturday.
