Second vs First: Man U vs Arsenal
In round 17 of the English Premiership league leaders Arsenal will play second placed Manchester United at Old Trafford.
United are one point behind the Gunners but they have a game in hand after their match in round 16 against Blackpool was postponed.
A win for the visitors will see them open a four point gap which would be handy especially if United were to win their game in hand.
However, a win for United will see them take over top spot and with a game that is potentially five points ahead.
United are the only team still to lose a match in the Premiership and have the best form at the moment.
In their last six fixtures United have accumulated a total of 14 points compared to the Gunners 12.
