00:16My name is Ayomidi Shuzbo and this is The Nutmeg.
00:20Another rivalry is set to be rekindled in the English Premier League this weekend as
00:23Manchester United will welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford.
00:27Both sides with contrasting fortunes but we have to look forward to the game.
00:30Here's our preview.
00:31My name is Ayomidi Shuzbo and this is The Nutmeg on Guardian TV.
00:35Right, of course, it's another edition of The Nutmeg here on Guardian TV.
00:44I have a usual face here, Organ, Manchester United fan, needs no introduction, nice to
00:49have you on the show again.
00:50Thank you very much.
00:51Yeah, and your side is coming up against Arsenal but we could argue that both sides, Martin
00:57Magically, I think the season is done for both of them.
00:59It's not like they're going to win trophies, oh, maybe Martin United could win the Europa
01:04League, sorry.
01:05But anyways, they're coming up against each other at Old Trafford.
01:09Flashback to the first leg at the Emirates Stadium, that was a 2-0 victory for Arsenal
01:15and in the FA Cup they met, penalties decided it.
01:18But this fixture is always one to look forward to in the calendar, isn't it?
01:22Yes, definitely.
01:23It's always one to look forward to because these two teams share histories together and
01:30definitely one wants to prove which is best for the season and which is better as it were.
01:39But you know, the previous leg happened and it was a 2-0 victory for Arsenal and definitely
01:47Manchester United should want to revenge, in quotes, should.
01:52But as we speak, the team is presently not taking sides.
01:57You know what, let's just make this edition a banter edition because there's nothing
02:01more for both sides to fight for anyway.
02:03Yeah, definitely.
02:04So, Arsenal presently, they're a better side even though their front line is definitely
02:11on injury presently.
02:12But you see, Manchester United's front line is there.
02:17What is there?
02:18What is even available for Martin United?
02:20You see the front line, the back line, the middle line, there's no line.
02:24The ones that are there, they're not even playing effectively.
02:28Rasmus has not had a shot on target.
02:32I think he has just three big chances in the last 22 games.
02:38That was a damning start when I saw it.
02:41But let's talk about the young man, Chidobe, because this could be the attraction in the
02:45game.
02:46I think so.
02:47I think he's been good in some of the cameos he's had so far.
02:50He did well against Fulham, had a couple of chances.
02:54Now he's come from Arsenal's youth programme.
02:58What if Chidobe, Nigerian born by the way, although he's recognised as a Danish guy,
03:04if he wins the game for Manchester United, what could that portend?
03:09I mean, for Arsenal, who sold him?
03:12Well, I said this in previous shows that I think it's high time Amorim begins to bring
03:17in these young lads.
03:20From the Fulham game, you saw what he could actually do, what he's capable of doing.
03:25I think spending a few minutes in that game, he did better, far better than the striker
03:31we bought for 79 million that could not even take on a player.
03:36Anyway, I've said this is a banter edition.
03:39I think it's a fake call-out.
03:43Fake call-out.
03:44So it is what we ordered versus what we got, as it were.
03:48But Chidobe, I think it's high time he begins to get that starting position, though I feel
03:55that the coach doesn't want to really bombard him with a lot.
03:58And I understand that.
03:59I mean, he's still 17 years old.
04:01He should be given more minutes, more minutes, not bringing in 75 or 85 minutes or thereabouts.
04:08Give him more minutes.
04:09Probably Rasmus plays the first half of the game.
04:14Probably the defenders are already tired.
04:16Then you can bring in Chidobe and just make him have some beautiful time to the game.
04:21Yes, now him scoring the winning goal against us now is one thing I'm looking forward to,
04:28actually, because it's going to be a very beautiful experience.
04:32It's going to be the joke of the season.
04:33Yeah, exactly.
04:34I remember some years ago, we had Wengeruni scoring against his previous side, Everton.
04:42We have a history of this happening.
04:44Van Persie scoring against Arsenal and the likes like that.
04:47So maybe Fubo can write a fresh one for us.
04:49But before we leave, what's your prediction for this game?
04:52It's very difficult to actually…
04:54Be honest, because most of your predictions don't come to pass.
04:56I don't understand.
04:57But at least for once, be honest.
04:59I'm always favourable to Manchester United, but as it stands,
05:02looking at the injuries and the players that are available,
05:06I tip Arsenal to win.
05:09He's repented.
05:10Maybe this time, when I say Arsenal, maybe Manchester United can now win.
05:17On the contrary, I have a hunch and I think that United can win this one.
05:22Your hunch can be haunted.
05:24We'll see.
