- Manchester United v Arsenal - Old Trafford 12.30pm GMT
- Referee: A Marriner
The fixture that brought us “the battle of the buffet”, Manchester United’s 8-2 win, and Arsène Wenger being sent to the Old Trafford stands (to name but a few memorable occasions) has gone a little quiet recently. José Mourinho and Wenger are hardly bosom buddies and United are desperate for the win to cut the deficit to Arsenal to three points, so maybe sparks will fly again.
If United win, it'll not only be arguably the most surprising of the three possible outcomes, but a statement of them being in the thick of the fight.
If it's Arsenal, they'll go top for at least a couple of hours, and make the chance of United being there at the end seem more of a dream than a hope.
