It’s set to be a close match at Old Trafford in the English top tier.
In perhaps the most highly anticipated match of the Premier League this weekend, champions Manchester United host current leaders Arsenal at Old Trafford.
A win for the Gunners would take them six points clear of second-placed Liverpool, however victory for United would put them back in the hunt at just five points adrift of the north London side.
It would also take some of the pressure off new manager David Moyes, who has found life at the Red Devils somewhat turbulent so far.
The Scot has opted for a strong attacking pair of Wayne Rooney and former Arsenal star Robin Van Persie, whilst Michael Carrick and Jonny Evans both return after fitness issues.

For the away team Arsene Wenger has a host of in-form players to choose from, with Olivier Giroud, Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey all starting the game.
The only slightly nervy addition for the away fans is the fact that club captain Thomas Vermaelen is filling in for Per Mertesacker, despite having not started a league match all season.
#Arsenal team: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Arteta, Flamini, Ramsey, Cazorla, Ozil, Giroud #MUFCvAFC
