They have been dealt a blow with the news that star striker Thierry Henry is out ofthis game through injury, which has resulted in the odds shortening a little for a Gunners win. Free FA Cup Bets must be noted, however, that despite playing against Everton, henry could not find the back of the net, and pother players came to light in that game, notably Dutch youngster Robin Van Persie.

As mentioned previously, Dutch star Robin van Persie has performed impresssivley recently, and he is a great bet to score first at 6/1. He scored two superb goals against Blackburn in the last round, and he looks like a good foil and partner with up-front with Jose Antonio Reyes.

Taking Bet365's Goalcorer Cashback Offer into account the 6/1 is even greater value, as we'll give you your money back if he scores the last goal in the game instead! With Arsenals impressive recent defensive record, any scoreline with Arsenal to win to nil is a good bet. There is a history of low scoring FA Cup Finals - In the last ten years, only United themselves have scored more than three goals (v Millwall), while nine of the last ten winners have kept a clean sheet. At the odds, it's hard to resist a bit on the Scorecast, which pays out a handsome 35/1 and 50/1.

There are many other bows to Arsenal than their French superstar, and the London team should take the trophy back to Highbury. Man Utd do have alot of support also, and the stats tell us that they have won the last four fixtures with Arsenal, after drawing the previous three meetings.

Recently however, Arsenal have rediscovered their start of season form, tightening up at the back, while Utd have really failed to impress, drawing with weaker teams in Crystal Palace, Blackburn and West Bromwich.
