BIG-MATCH FACTS
* Manchester United need 13 points from the five remaining matches to retain
their Premier League title. If they beat title rivals Chelsea at Stamford
Bridge on 26 April, just 10 points would be required to achieve back-to-back
titles for the fifth time in the Premier League era.
* United go into this clash thrilled to have qualified for the Champions League
semi-finals, while Arsenal are smarting from Tuesday's defeat to Liverpool
which ended their Champions League dreams, and leaves the Premier League as
their only remaining hope of avoiding a third successive trophy-less season.
* This is a must-win game for Arsenal, who would close the gap to three points
on United at the summit with victory, but the Londoners have only managed
one win in seven league outings, while United are unbeaten in seven, and
have won the last three at Old Trafford with an aggregate of 9-0.
* Sir Alex Ferguson, comes up against his Arsenal opposite number Arsene Wenger
for the 36th time. Of the 35 previous encounters United have won 12, Arsenal
13. Eight of the 10 other games finished level and two were decided on
penalty shoot-outs; United won the 2003 Community Shield, and Arsenal the
2005 FA Cup final.
* Arsenal have proved United's trickiest opponents since Sir Alex took over in
November 1986. The Londoners have won 13 games and amassed 53 points against
the Red Devils, more than any other club over that period.
* In the Premier League there's nothing to chose between Wenger and Ferguson at
eight wins a piece, and seven draws, but the Scot has the edge on home soil
with five wins to three, and three draws.
* These clubs are meeting for the first time since United totally dominated in
a 4-0 win FA Cup fifth round win at Old Trafford on 16 February. But Arsenal
go to the Theatre of Dreams in search of back-to-back victories, having won
last season's corresponding fixture. However United are hunting a 50th home
league victory over the North London giants.
