Match Preview - Arsenal v United 31/01/2010
 Cesc v Roo in 3D ! Match Preview - Arsenal v United Competition: Barclays Premier League Kick-Off & Date: 4pm, Sunday 31st January Venue: Emirates Stadium (Away) Live TV Coverage: Sky Sports (HD)1 & 3D (if you lucky) - 3:30pm to 6:30pm Referee: Chris Foy, (Lancashire, England) Assistant Referees: Bob Pollock & Dave Bryan Fourth Official: Mark Clattenburg Form: United go into The Emirates without ever winning a League game there - but morale will be high as The Reds hammered arch-rivals City last Wednesday, winning 3-1 (4-3 AGG) thanks to Rooney. United have scored 13 goals in their last 5 matches and a win here will surely knock Arsenal out of the 'Title Race'... Arsenal have only lost once at home - to Chelsea, and despite getting slaughtered by Stoke in the FA Cup, they are unbeaten in their last 10 in The League - they will want to get 'back on track' after drawing with Villa midweek ! The Injury Front: United are still without long-term absentees; Owen Hargreaves and John O'Shea. But Rio Ferdinand is the only other player out - with an unjust four game ban. However Nemanja Vidic is set to take over the reigns. Arsenal won't have Thomas Vermaelen, after he picked-up a leg injury against Villa, Eduardo is out with a hamstring injury and Abou Diaby & Fran Merida are doubtful with leg injuries. While Van Persie, Johan Djourou and Kieran Gibbs will still be out for another few weeks, if not months ! Squads: United - Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Neville, Brown, Rafael, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Fabio, Park, Nani, Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Gibson, Anderson, Giggs, Rooney, Owen, Berbatov, Diouf Arsenal - Almunia, Sagna, Vermaelen, Campbell, Gallas, Clichy, Denilson, Song, Fabregas, Rosicky, Bendtner, Arshavin, Fabianski, Silvestre, Nasri, Walcott, Traore, Ramsey, Eastmond, Emmanuel-Thomas Your Need-To-Knows;  Gaffer: Arsene Wenger, he must be Sir Alex's biggest enemy; after numerous 'mind-games' and 'rants' over the past 13 years - he has however won 7 English titles; 3 Leagues and 4 Cups - but he doesn't look set to win an 8th...  Remember this ? - Wenger sent-off while losing 2-1 to United !  Most-Feared: Sol Campbell, no sorry, I mean Cesc Fabregas, The Gunners captain has now recovered after a long-term hamstring injury - and has scored 14 goals already this season (nothing compared to Roo - but still pretty impressive), however with Vidic back it should be no problem to keep the Spaniard quite !  Ref: Chris Foy, it is his first time taking charge of a United match in The League this season - he did however officiate; United's FA Cup loss to Leeds, the Carling Cup victory against Barnsley and the Community Shield v Chelsea, he has given just 3 red cards this season...  If your lucky you could experience the match in 3D on Sky Sports ! Prediction: Arsenal 0-2 United - Rooney and Nani on the score-sheet !
