The day is here.

Leaders Arsenal welcome Man United at 7:30pm in what promises to be a pulsating affair at the Emirates.

Eight points separate the Gunners and fourth-placed United going into this titanic clash.

This is one of the fans’ favourite fixture but it had taken about a decade or two when both teams were strong title contenders.

And a lot will be stake when the two sides come out of the tunnel.

The hosts will be seeking for revenge as United won the first round fixture 3-1, Arsenal’s only loss to date in the league this season.

Mikel Arteta will be hoping that his new signing Leandro Trossard is cleared on time to play, otherwise it will be Eddie Nketiah to shoulder the scoring burden.

But Arsenal has been collecting goals across their attackers thanks to Bukayo Saka, Gabrielle Martineli and captain Martin Odegaard.

United on the other hand, have knitted good results since that poor start this season.

And Erik Ten Hag’s charges will be fancying a chance to Champions League next season at least.

But a midweek draw at Crystal Palace ended their 9-match winning streak in all competitions.

They will be without the rock solid Casemiro in the middle of the Park, but their biggest challenges have been up front.

On-form Marcus Rashford is expected to start but the forward has not scored in 26 away games in which he has started!

Verdict – I am going for a bold one this time. Arsenal have only failed to beat Newcastle at Emirates this season. They have a fantastic crowd that has pushed them to the line and the players have shown belief in themselves. A home win.
