Former Chelsea and Barcelona midfielder, Cesc Fabregas, has expressed his confidence in Arsenal’s prowess as he anticipated a convincing triumph over Manchester United in the forthcoming Premier League fixture on Sunday.
Speaking on the Planet Premier League podcast, Fabregas acknowledged the historical significance of clashes between the two giants while noting United’s current decline compared to past glories.
Asserting Arsenal’s strength and confidence, he envisioned a comfortable victory for the Gunners, tempered only by the respect owed to United’s legacy and the formidable fortress of Old Trafford.
In addition, Fabregas weighed in on Manchester City’s impending match against Fulham this weekend, foreseeing a challenging encounter for Pep Guardiola’s side.
Acknowledging Fulham’s commendable season and marked improvements under their astute coach, the Spainaird anticipated a formidable challenge for Manchester City in their pursuit of three points.
“I consider it a big game, Arsenal v United, United v Arsenal, they have always been special games,” Fabregas said.
“It’s true, United at the moment are not at the level that they were in the past, we can all agree with that. I can see Arsenal being too strong for them at the moment.
“I do think Arsenal play by memory, they are confident, they believe, they have the experience. They have grown over the last year, they improve, so I do think Arsenal will win that game comfortably.
“I will not say easily because United is United and the history, at the end of the day, the badge on the chest, we need to respect that and Old Trafford is Old Trafford.
“But again, I consider Arsenal are too strong at the moment.”
He added, “Fulham is a tricky one for Manchester City.
“They’ve had a good season, a very complete season. They’ve improved in many areas, they have a good coach so, yeah, I believe it’s going to be at least tricky for Manchester City to obtain the three points.”
