Emirates Stadium – London
Emirates stadium gears up for one of the most important fixture of the season as Arsene Wenger’s Gunner host Manchester United in Barclays Premier League.
Both sides come in to the fixture on the back of disappointing results but the host will be under the scrutiny after 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Liverpool.
Arsenal currently sit second on the premier league one point behind Chelsea and one ahead of Manchester City.United who came out with a disappointing draw at home against Fulham will be looking to do a double and dent the title hopes of the Gunners.
Arsene Wenger could make some changes to the side as he would look to reshuffle the side that lost last time out.
Tomas Rosicky is likely to come in for Jack Wilshere and Lukas Podolski might get the starting spot with Santi Cazorla moving to the right.
The Gunners are without Mathieu Flamini who is suspended where as Aaron Ramsey is still out for the Gunners.
Manchester United meanwhile are without midfielder Phil Jones and Maroune Fellaini with injuries with Tom Cleverly and Micheal Carrick to fill in at central midfield.
Chris Smalling is likely to retain his spot at the back alongside Nemanja Vidic in the absence of Johnny Evans and Rio Ferdinand.
Robin Van Persie will be the major factor for the Red Devils as the former Arsenal captain has scored 3 times in 3 games against his old club since pulling on the Manchester United shirt.
