Man Utd. prepare to entertain Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Red Devils are clearly on top, having won 52 and lost only 16 of the 92 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Old Trafford was just last season, in December 2004, the Red Devils carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Cup match.

Recent respective form guides
Manchester United could not have a more impressive recent home form, having won each of the last six games. In this time, Red Devils have rattled up an impressive 16 goals, and conceded 3.
The Gunners have had a decent run of form away from home recently, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 2 have been let in at the wrong end.
Man Utd. sit in a healthy 2nd in the league, and have picked up 72 points from their 32 games. Arsenal find themselves in a respectable 5th position, courtesy of the 53 points they have accumulated from 31 games.
