• This will be the 43rd time Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have faced each other. Ferguson has won 17 times to Wenger's 14, with 11 draws (two of which were then settled by penalties).
• Manchester United are unbeaten in their last five matches against Arsenal in all competitions, winning four.
• Arsenal have lost seven of their last nine trips to Old Trafford in league and cup.
• Wayne Rooney scored his first Premier League goal, his first league goal for Manchester United and his 100th Premier League goal against Arsenal. He also scored in both Premier League meetings with Arsenal last season.


This weeks Live Monday Football is a clash of two old foes, Manchester United and Arsenal who years before Chelsea and Man City got rich. These two were the teams who fighted it out for the title and when Arsene and Sir Alex had thier war of words at every press conference. These games decided the title's in seasons gone by and it might decide who wins in this season.

'The Gunners' - I hope.

Going to this match so hope for an exciting game, I'm sure I won't be disappointed. We're playing better away from home this season so I'll go for a tight 2-1 Arsenal win. Rooney to finally score for Utd, RVP and Nasri for Arsenal. Evra to fall flat on his **** and gift Samir a goal.
 
I am obviously going to be biased, and with this, pull for a win for Manchester United. Again, being a United supporter, we look the stronger on paper, with the possibilities in Ferdinand, Scholes and Evra returning. However, I am not going to put down Arsenal.

With the form Samir Nasri is in and the team doing well without 'El Capitan' it would be difficult to write them off. That is a plus for us, but even being at Old Trafford, the home advantage may not be enough.

I would say a draw, but I cannot put down an Arsenal win.

2-1 United though.

Well after watching few arsenal games, I have to say im impressed..
If only ther defence was stronger.
But anyway im a united fan , so obviously its united, 2-0 or 3-0 :)
And if we had valencia :) then ... it would be much more.
 
Unlucky Arsenal...

The ref is Howard Webb, no chance.
 
Nani > Evra

NANI has turned up the heat on champions Chelsea by claiming Arsenal are a bigger title threat to Manchester United.
The Blues' season has unravelled in recent weeks as they have earned just five points from the last 18 available in the league.
Chelsea face Tottenham on Sunday before hosting United at Stamford Bridge a week later.

Meanwhile, unbeaten United and Arsenal - who meet at Old Trafford on Monday - have started to motor, pushing the Blues down to third spot in the table.
And flying winger Nani says Alex Ferguson's men see the Gunners as more dangerous than Chelsea to their hopes of regaining the crown.
The Portuguese star said: "Arsenal have been doing well. They are growing up in the way we are. They are a good team.
"I think they are a bigger threat than Chelsea now.

"Chelsea have lost a few games and drawn some and their confidence looks a bit low.
"But Arsenal have been winning and being top of the league gives you great confidence.
"They also have an in-form player in Samir Nasri.
"He is a big danger and we have to take care of him on Monday."
Nani has saved some of his best performances for matches against the Gunners and stood out in United's 3-1 win at The Emirates in January.
He also shone when the Red Devils thrashed Arsene Wenger's men 4-0 in the FA Cup back in 2008.

And the 23-year-old said: "I like to play against Arsenal. I have had some very good games against them.
"The way they play gives you a chance to show your quality. The big matches bring out the best in me.
"It's always a fantastic game. Everyone wants to play the big games and I think it will be a fantastic atmosphere.

"Arsenal are doing well but we are doing well, too.
"We just have to concentrate on our own performance and try to win."
Nani knows it would give United a big edge in the title race if they can beat their two closest rivals in the space of a week.

He said: "If we win against Arsenal and Chelsea we will be in a very good position to win the league. It will be a fantastic position to be in.
"Our momentum is growing. Everyone is starting to play fantastic again, like Wayne Rooney and Anderson. Our performances are growing. That is great because our next two games are going to be very important for us."
 
2-2 Berbatov and Nani for Man U, two goals from RVP for the ****.
 
great game of football but im going for a 1-0 United win, Berbatov to grap the winner.
 
Manchester United 3 - 1 Arsenal

Rooney to drop deep and dominate the midfield.
