Manchester United take on Arsenal in a high-octane Premier League clash this weekend.
Both teams will be desperate for a win against each other. Manchester United are chasing the fourth and final Champions League spot and Arsenal are in the mix for the Premier League title.
A defeat for either side could be a damaging blow to their dreams, especially with the likes of Spurs and Leicester performing well consistently.
The Old Trafford giants will be looking to dent Wenger’s title hopes with another impressive performance against a top side. Despite their struggles this season, Van Gaal’s men have done very well against the top teams and will look to continue that trend.
Arsenal are behind Leicester and Spurs in the title race and cannot afford to drop more points. After their morale boosting win over Leicester City last week, Wenger will be hoping that side can pull off another special win against their bitter rivals this week as well.
After a disappointing loss against Barcelona, Arsenal’s European campaign is more or less over and the Premier League is their only hope of winning a major trophy this season.
