Man. Utd. face a trip to Arsenal at Emirates Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Red Devils will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in November 2007, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Premier League match.
