Two of the biggest clubs in the Premier league face each other on Monday evening. Manchester united and Arsenal are arch rivals, a rivalry that had peaked more than a decade ago during Sir Alex Ferguson vs Arsene Wenger era. The fixture had earned the "title decider" tag as for for nine seasons, the title moved exclusively between Manchester and north London.
Tonight's fixture doesn't have much impact on title race, but
it still remains a mouthwatering clash where both camps will be
hoping for maximum points. A win for Arsenal will be their first at Old
trafford since 2006 in the premier league while Man united will be hoping to
bounce back and overcome previous fixture nightmares where they lost to
Westham.
Man United vs Arsenal Stats
- Arsenal are without a win in their last 12 top-flight

of those defeats.

against Manchester United for the first time since 2006-07.

Chelsea and West Ham.
