United v Arsenal: Fans' predictions so far
Having played their part in our battling display at the King Power Stadium just days ago, Manchester United fans are set to generate another electric atmosphere when Arsenal visit Old Trafford this Sunday afternoon.
Last season, the two clubs traded victories, with the Reds seeing off the Gunners in an entertaining contest at M16 before Mikel Arteta's side responded by winning at the Emirates towards the back of the campaign. Both teams finished inside the Premier League's top six positions
Arsenal have since started the campaign in blistering fashion and with our old rivalry set for another chapter this weekend, we asked you the supporters to play our United Predictions game to guess which way the contest will swing this time around.
