Personal analysis: Arsenal's biggest problem at present is that the overall attack and breakthrough ability has declined significantly after Saka was injured. Havertz, Trossard and Martinelli do not have a big explosive position on the offensive end at the same time. Relatively speaking, Jesus' breakthrough and competitive state are better. In the midfield, except for Rice, who is relatively stable, the rest of the players like Odegaard are in a relatively bad state after returning from injury. In addition, Thomas has a big problem playing in the midfield. His ability to hold and pass the ball is relatively poor, and his only defensive attributes make it difficult to support his teammates on the front line. The team's defense is relatively stable. Timber, Saliba and Gabriel have always been in fixed starting positions. These three not only have considerable defensive capabilities, but are also core offensive points in offense and corner kick tactics. Manchester United has not won in recent games, but has played some momentum in recent games against Newcastle and Liverpool, especially Dalot on the left, which was somewhat beyond Li's expectations. He played a good role in the wing attack. Diallo, Ugarte and Mazraoui on the right played hard on the field. Center forward Hoylen was just a little bit away from scoring a goal. There is a high probability that he will score a goal in subsequent games. The combination of Martinez and Maguire on the defense line is quite good. De Ligt always feels that he is not suitable for the Premier League style in terms of wing defense and header competition, but several other players in the team are currently injured. In fact, it is possible to consider letting Casemiro temporarily play as a full-back.

At present, Arsenal's offensive firepower is not much stronger than Manchester United. In addition, Arsenal currently does not have much room for choice in the midfield. Except that Arsenal's full-backs are stronger than Manchester United's, Manchester United may not lose to Arsenal in the midfield and frontcourt lineup. In this game, Arsenal's home game handicap of 0.75 goals is a bit high, especially in recent game status, the two teams are not so different, and the two teams have historically attached great importance to the FA Cup. In this game, it is more likely that all the main players of both teams will start. If Havertz continues to play as a center forward, it will be difficult for Jesus to start. Therefore, Lao Li still recommends Manchester United + 0.75 win option for this game, and the score is expected to be 1-1 or 2-2.
