TOP 3 REASONS TO TRUST SANCHEZ TO OPEN THE SCORING FOR ARSENAL VS MANCHESTER UNITED Alexis Sanchez has been one of the few high points in Arsenal’s season so far. The Chilean has been scoring for fun, finding the net in each of Arsenal’s last four Premier League games. The best 3 reasons why you should back him to once again open the scoring against Manchester United: 1) HE’S THE BEST 1ST GOALSCORER IN THE LEAGUE No player has opened the scoring more than Alexis Sanchez in the Premier League this season. He’s broken the deadlock 5 times with his 8 Premier League goals for the Gunners. This beats Aguero who has 4 opening goals and Costa who has just the 2. 2) MANCHESTER UNITED HAVE BEEN CONCEDING TO STRIKERS/2ND STRIKERS United have been consistently leaking goals away from home to strikers this season having conceded 7 in just 5 away trips. United have conceded goals to Aguero, Sessegnon, Berahino, Ulloa x2, Nugent and Vardy this season and bar Aguero; none present the kind of danger Sanchez does. 3) ARSENAL STRONG AT HOME VS LOWER RANKED TEAMS In their last 20 home games against teams positioned below them in the table, Arsenal have scored the first goal 14 times and conceded the first goal 4 times. Although Manchester United are only marginally below Arsenal, the Gunners opened the scoring against six of the seven teams who finished between 5th & 11th last season. You also have to go back to 2012 to find the last time Manchester United opened the scoring against Arsenal at the Emirates. Theo Walcott was the last man to open the scoring from the wide right forward position, an area of the field that is likely to be occupied by Alexis Sanchez on Saturday afternoon.
