The Premier League features another massive fixture this weekend as Mikel Arteta's Arsenal lock horns with an inconsistent Manchester United outfit in a crucial encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Arsenal vs Manchester United Preview
Manchester United are currently in sixth place in the Premier League standings and have struggled in the top-four race this season. The Red Devils suffered a stunning 4-0 defeat at the hands of Liverpool in their previous game and cannot afford another debacle in this fixture.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in fifth place in the league table at the moment and have managed to recover from their slump this month. The Gunners stunned London rivals Chelsea by a 4-2 margin earlier this week and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
