Third vs second : Arsenal vs Man Utd
In round 24 of the English Premier League, its third versus second as Arsenal hosts Manchester United at the Emirates.
In their first fixture earlier in the season, Arsenal lost 2-1 and now has a chance to even things out at the Emirates with a win.
A win for the Gunners will see them leapfrog their opponents into second place and depending on the Chelsea result could land them top place.
The Gunners have only lost once at home this season and that was the loss to Chelsea.
Manchester United are currently second and are cruising well as they defend the title they won last season.
They have lost four times so far away from Old Trafford and drawn once and therefore look good to get a result that could leave them top of the ladder.
