The fans of Arsenal football club are calling for the sacking of manager Arsene Wenger as they feel he has lost his way as arsenal languish in sixth place, six points below the final champions league spot occupied by Manchester city after playing 33 matches in the EPL.
Last time out they faced London rivals Totteham Hotspur and lost at white hart lane 2-0 thanks to goals from English duo Dele Alli and Harry Kane. The London side will finish ahead of Arsenal for the first time in 22 years. For Arsenal to push for a champions league berth they will have to win their remaining fixtures and hope other teams around them slip-up
Wenger cant afford any further slip-up and will be looking to bounce back to winning ways., next up though is the red devils. Manchester United fresh from their uefa europa mid-week victory away to Celta Vigo will be battling fatigue and exhaustion.
It has been insinuated in the press that Manchester united gaffer Jose Mourinho will be looking to rest a number of his first team players for the return leg of the semi-final clash with Celta Vigo at Old Trafford. Mourinho sees the route to Uefa champions league as a more realistic target than through the league.
