Each were also involved in incredible Capital One Cup games during the week as Arsenal came from four goals down to beat Reading 7-5 on Tuesday evening, then Wednesday night saw United go down 5-4 at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea.
However, with Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger likely to make a lot of chances from their midweek teams, those results may not mean a great deal going into the weekend’s action.
All eyes are sure to be on Robin van Persie in this one as he makes his first appearances against his former employers after leaving the Emirates Stadium during the summer.
The Dutchman will be out to haunt Arsenal and after netting seven times already in the league, is sure to have a big say on Saturday, as his odds of 9/2 to find the net first look to be a fair bet.
This is an encounter that Ferguson will be desperate to win as his men will move to the top of the table with all three points.
As for Wenger’s side, they need to take something from Old Trafford to move closer to the top four and maybe even keep themselves in title contention at this early stage.
The Gunners are far from at their best right now in the league and needed a late goal from Mikel Arteta to beat Queens Park Rangers last time out, and with the confirmed absence of Gervinho, it may now be time for Arsene Wenger to give a deserved call to Theo Walcott, who is crying out for a place in the starting line up.
Jack Wilshire is also rumoured to be close to starting the game and his return to midfield to link up with the impressive Santi Cazorla could be just the boost Gunners fans need at the moment.
The North Londoners have won two and lost two in their last four top flight matches, so inconsistency is proving to be their downfall right now and another defeat would seriously dent this year’s title chances, as Arsene Wenger once again comes under pressure from the Emirates faithful.
Their odds of 4/1 for the away win look just about right.
Whichever way you look at it, this game has the making of a classic between two teams with bags of attacking talent and fairly weak defences right now.
Kick-off for this one is at 12.45PM.
