Match Preview -

Arsenal entertain Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium in a clash that is being billed as a title decider this season. Manchester United currently sit 6 points ahead of Chelsea and 9 points clear of opponents Arsenal with 4 games to go meaning a win for United this Sunday will see Arsenal unable to clinch the trophy and fill the empty gap of 6 years without a trophy.

Manchester United are expected to name their strongest line up available, although Sir Alex Ferguson has already revealed that veteran midfielder Ryan Giggs will be rested ahead of games vs Schalke and Chelsea in the next week.

Team News:

Arsenal will be without Abou Diaby again with a calf injury, but Tomas Rosicky is expected to be fit after a recent bout of illness. Thomas Vermaelen won't be considered for a place in the team despite making his return to football with a reserve team outing against Manchester United in a 0-0 draw.

Manchester United will be without Ryan Giggs who will be rested and Paul Scholes who completes a three game ban after being sent off against Manchester City in the defeat at Wembley. Dimitar Berbatov may feature after recovering from a groin injury.

Predicted Teams:

Arsenal

Sczezsny
Sagna - Djourou - Koscielny - Clichy
Song - Wilshere
Walcott - Fabregas - Nasri
Van Persie

Manchester United

Van Der Sar
Rafael - Ferdinand - Vidic - Evra
Nani - Carrick - Anderson - Park
Hernandez - Rooney

Prediction:

Arsenal 0-2 Manchester United
Rooney, Park

​
 
Arsenal 1-2 United: RVP; Rooney, Park
 
season is over for me

best we can hope for is a draw :(
 
Reckon this will be a high scoring match going to say

Arsenal 2-3 Manchester United

Nasri, Van Persie for Arsenal
Rooney, Hernandez (2) for United.
 
Awesome OP. With reference to the game, I'm going for either 1-1 or 1-2 to Man Utd. Unfortunately our record in recent seasons against them is just terrible. :(
 
Please do Chelsea a favour Arsenal :)

1-0 Nasri to clinch the win for Arsenal
 
Park has scored in his last 3 starts against Arsenal and Rooney just loves to play Arsenal. Arsenal have just 2 wins in their last 11 games so I can't see them winning this.

Just for the record;

If Manchester United win and Chelsea lose this weekend, then Manchester United will just need a point at Old Trafford against Chelsea next weekend to claim their record 19th Premier League Title.

I actually think Arsenal will win this game, I'd certainly take a draw. I'm just hoping that Tottenham can hold Chelsea to a point.
Arsenal 2 - 1 United - Fabregas, Walcott & Rooney to score
 
I'll take a draw - put it like that.

Man Utd will win the league as they will be 7 clear with two to play.
 
Anyone think we may go 4-3-3/4-5-1 like we normally do vs Arsenal?
 
I think if Arsenal have any real hope of winning the league this is an obvious must win game as is the rest of them and I think Wenger will set out more offensively than usual to get all 3 points and I think that will prove to be the difference.

I am going for:

Arsenal 2-1 Manchester United

Van Persie Park
Walcott
 
You can look at this game 2 ways for me. One is that Arsenal have been poor and Utd will do what Utd do best and that is just do enough to get the 3 points. Or you can look at it that there is no pressure on Arsenal anymore and they will play their socks off and deal Utd another poor away result (my hoped view). But for me Arsenal haven't got enough to beat Utd but Utd's away form has not been great so a 1-1 draw for me.

I think we will play with 4-3-3. When was the last time we played 4-4-2 against Arsenal. I think Rooney will start as LW and drifting centrally as Giggs used to do and Hernandez as lone striker..
 
Arsenal 1 - 3 Manchester United
Nasri - Park, Rooney, Hernandez
 
Actually hope that Arsenal spank United here, sick of ****** Red Nose tapping up our players, after Modric again now...
