A serious and stable Arsenal side will turn up against Man United for the first time in years for another potentially decisive title clash at Old Trafford.
A penultimate fixture at Old Trafford with Arsenal top of the table will bring memories of 2002 flooding back for those in the home and away sections on Sunday.
This month marks the 20th anniversary of Wenger's Invincibles. They were anything but against United, victors in a rousing FA Cup semi-final at Villa Park in April 2004. On Grand National Day, United mounted the considerable hurdle that was the champions-elect in the last great old-school FA Cup semi-final.
Arsenal thought they were title pursuers in February 2016 yet were exposed as pretenders by United. A depleted United ended the match with a back four of Guillermo Varela, Michael Carrick, Daley Blind and debutant Timothy Fosu-Mensah. Arsenal have dropped points once since their draw with Manchester City at the Etihad on March 31 and it was the day after City swatted Luton aside. City kick-off away to Fulham on Saturday this weekend with United-Arsenal the showpiece fixture on Sunday.
Rice, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane were all on the market last summer and it is unforgivable United let all of them slip through the net. Rice enquired about United's interest as far back as March 2021, they had Bellingham in the building at Carrington and Kane was prepared to relocate up the M6.
