Arsenal v Manchester United - Head to head
MANAGERS
Arsene Wenger's magic touch shows no signs of abating with the Frenchman's
current crop of youngsters setting both the Premier League and the Champions
League alight.
Wenger has once again created a team that combines finesse and resilience in
equal measure and will be delighted with the way his young charges have coped
following the departure of the talismanic Thierry Henry.
Sir Alex Ferguson's achingly long pursuit of Carlos Tevez looks to have paid off in
style with the Argentinian starting to form an explosive partnership with Wayne
Rooney up front.
Ferguson has also proven that he has not lost his touch in the transfer market
with summer signings Nani and Anderson both starting to show signs of their
class after slow starts to their United careers.
PREVIOUS MEETINGS
Clashes between the two most successful clubs of the Premier League era have
been some of the most thrilling and tempestuous seen in English football.
Ruud van Nistelrooy was famously barracked by a host of Arsenal players
following his late penalty miss at Old Trafford in 2003 which led to Wenger's side
receiving a hefty fine from the FA.
Arsenal held the edge over their northern rivals last season with the Gunners
picking up maximum points from their two meetings in the league, Thierry Henry
scoring a stoppage-time winner at the Emirates in January, but Ferguson's side
hold a slightly superior overall record with 80 wins to Arsenal's 76.
FORM
Both sides have been in imperious form of late and with nothing separating them
at the summit of the Premier League they have set an imposing benchmark for
the other sides with title ambitions.
United have scored four goals in four consecutive games for the first time in over
100 years as the Rooney-Tevez combination clicks into gear, while their
rearguard is the most solid in league, having conceded just four goals all season.
Arsenal's home form has been immaculate with six wins from six games meaning
they and Manchester City are the only teams to have 100 per cent home records
in the league.
The form of midfield maestro Cesc Fabregas has been instrumental in the
Gunners' stunning run with his haul of 10 goals putting him at the summit of the
goalscoring charts.
