A full-strength Manchester United travel to the Emirates Stadium for the first time ever on Saturday, with Alex Ferguson's side hoping to exact revenge against Arsenal, who beat them 1-0 at Old Trafford earlier in the season.
Arsenal
RETURNING: Emmanuel Eboue (ankle)
OUT: Gilberto Silva (suspension), Freddie Ljungberg (hamstring), William Gallas (thigh)
DOUBTFUL: Robin van Persie (ankle)
EUROSTAT: Arsenal are bang in form heading into the much-anticipated clash at the Emirates after having won their last four games in all competitions, scoring 15 times on the way.
MANAGER'S QUOTE: "[Van Persie] is going for a scan and after that we will know more about it. He still has a very good chance of being available for Sunday."
Manchester United
RETURNING: Wesley Brown (virus)
OUT: None.
DOUBTFUL: None.
EUROSTAT: United have lost just once in 18 Premiership outings and have conceded just eight goals in 11 away league matches.
MANAGER'S QUOTE: "Chelsea have not endeared themselves to everyone in the game. It is amazing that some Liverpool fans are saying to me, 'I hope you win the League.'" Sir Alex Ferguson.
Prediction: 1-2
