While the old rivalry cannot be accurately described as the top-of-the-table tussle it once was, United in particular know that only a win will do if they are to stay in touch with the chasing pack.

Arsenal: Leno; Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Luiz, Kolasinac; Willock, Guendouzi, Ceballos; Saka, Pepe, Aubameyang

Manchester United vs Arsenal Match Preview
Manchester United could not beat Rochdale at home this week and even with a stronger team out, it is difficult to see them winning against Arsenal.
From Ryan Giggs whipping his top off following a dazzling extra-time winner in the FA Cup semi-final in 1999 to Martin Keown taunting Ruud van Nistelrooy during the goalless Battle of Old Trafford in 2003, this is a pairing that instantly brings to mind memorable matches.
There was the 2001-02 season, when Premier League winners Arsenal beat United three times over the course of the season with an 8-2 aggregate scoreline, and the contrasting humiliation of August 2011, when United won 8-2 in a single disastrous 90 minutes for Arsenal at Old Trafford.
