Match Pack: Arsenal
:devil:
Can United extend a miserable run of results for Arsene Wenger's men?
Form Guide: Arsenal have stuttered since winning three in a row during October. The disappointment of the 4-4 draw against local rivals Spurs was compounded by defeat to lowly Stoke. In contrast Uniteds form is very good - the Reds have won eight of the last ten in all competitions, only drawing at Everton and Celtic.
Ins and Outs: Emmanuel Adebayor will miss the game with an ankle injury sustained in the loss at Stoke and former United defender Mikael Silvestre is doubtful after breaking his nose in Wednesday's draw with Fenerbahce. However Arsene Wenger may be able to recall Emmanuel Eboue, William Gallas and, more probably, Theo Walcott. Long-term absentees Eduardo and Tomas Rosicky remain sidelined.
Star Man: Cesc Fabregas is the orchastrator of Arsenals attack and despite his tender years he has already assumed a leadership role within their young team. The Spaniard is deployed in the centre of midfield where his range of passing can unpick the very best defences. He scored the first goal against United in last season's corresponding fixture.
