It is safe to assume he would prefer a different kind of lofty position at the end of this match. - Both Arsenal and United have briefly led the Premier League in the last fortnight, with the Gunners coming back from an 11-point deficit while the champions have relied on Wayne Rooney as a one-man wrecking ball. - United have already silenced their noisy Manchester neighbours in the last few days and if they end Arsenal's 10-match unbeaten run then Wenger could be hitting the bottle again. Just don't expect Sir Alex Ferguson to share a glass of something red or white with him. MATCH FACTS Head-to-head ‧ This will be the 42nd time Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger have faced each other. Ferguson has won 16 times to Wenger's 14, with 11 draws (two of which were then settled by penalties). ‧ Manchester United are unbeaten in their last four matches against Arsenal in all competitions, winning three. But they have not won in their last four league visits to Arsenal, including all three matches at the Emirates Stadium. Their only away victory in the last nine was 4-2 at Highbury in February 2005. ‧ United did, though, beat Arsenal 3-1 at the Emirates in their Champions League semi-final meeting in May. Arsenal ‧ The Gunners are the division's form team, earning 24 points from 10 unbeaten league games since a 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea in November. ‧ They are the Premier League's leading scorers with 59 goals in 23 matches. The midweek goalless draw at Villa was their first of the season. ‧ Arsene Wenger needs one win to register 300 as a Premier League manager. He will become the second manager to reach this milestone after Sir Alex Ferguson (438). Wenger has only lost 80 of his 509 league matches in charge of Arsenal. ‧ Cesc Fabregas has scored five goals in his last five league matches. Manchester United ‧ United have taken 13 points from their last five games, with Wayne Rooney scoring seven goals in those matches. ‧ They have not won any of their last six away league matches at Big Four opposition, losing five times. ‧ Dimitar Berbatov celebrated his 29th birthday the day before this match. Darren Fletcher turns 26 on Monday. ‧ Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes have each scored 99 Premier League goals. Only 17 players have scored 100 goals or more in Premier League history.

M.E.N Prediction: Arsenal 2-2 United - it's all set for another cracker between these two old rivals and there should be little to choose between them Key opponent: Cesc Fabregas - orchestrates Gunners midfield and has 14 goals this season - hard to believe he still only 22 Skysports.com prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Man United One(s) to watch: Cesc Fabregas & Wayne Rooney http://tinyurl.com/y9ljwt2 Lawro's Premier League predictions Arsenal 1-1 Man United I never get too excited about the great big 'Super Sunday' matches, and I just think this one will end up a draw. Sir Alex Ferguson will have his three central midfield players, whether it's Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher or Carrick, Fletcher and Anderson, and saturate the midfield. It could be one of those games where there won't be a lot of space, not a lot of time and generally not a lot happening. http://tinyurl.com/yffs3mt http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/8485984.stm http://www.skysports.com/football/match_preview/0,19764,11065_3214688,00.html http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8485731.stm -- ★ ╔╦═╮╔╮ ╭╔╮ ╭╔╦═╮ ╔╮╔╮╭╦═╮╔╮═╮ ☆ ☆ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║╠╣ ║╠╣ ║ ╠╣╠╣╠╬═╣╠╣ ║ ★ ★ ╰╝╰╯╰╝═╯╰╝═╯╚╯═╯ ╰╰╯╯╰╝ ╰╰╝ ╰ ☆ ☆ SCORING MACHINE︰ Ruud van Nistelrooy ★ ╔╮═╮╭╦╦╮╭╦═╮╭╦╦╮╔╦═╮╔╮ ╔╦═╮╭╦═╭═╦╮╮ ╔╮ ╠╣ ║ ╠╣ ╚╩╦╮ ╠╣ ╠╬╣ ╠╣ ╠╬╦╯╠╣ ║ ╠╣╚═╬╣ ╰╝ ╰╰╩╩╯╰═╩╝ ╚╝ ╚╩═╯╰╩═╯╰╝╰╯╰╩═╯═╩╯╰═╩╝ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.38.25.86
