“Good morning from Pittsburgh!” writes Eric Peterson. Hello! “I’d be much more concerned about Arsenal’s poor form at Old Trafford if I hadn’t spent all of April seeing Manchester United drive their home fans crazy. Trying and failing to spoon-feed a win to Liverpool, trailing (twice!) against Sheffield United, playing so poorly against Burnley that the 1-1 result can fairly be called an affront to Burnley, not Man U. I expect the Gunners to take decisive steps to address that shrinking goal difference between them and Manchester City.” That is the only sensible conclusion to be drawn from the teams’ recent performances. Football, happily, is still occasionally insensible, though.
Quarter of an hour before kick-off. The pitch empties of players as the players of both sides head in to receive their final instructions.
