Man Utd are unbeaten in their last five Premier League matches
Arsenal have kept just two clean sheets in their last nine fixtures
Recommended bet: Man Utd or draw double chance
Man Utd caused a stir with last Sunday's superb 2-0 derby victory at home to Man City and they will be aiming for another big result when taking on Premier League leaders Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
Michael Carrick could not have asked much more from his players in the Manchester derby, but he will be well aware of the need to keep standards high.
The Red Devils are battling with several other teams in the scrap for Champions League qualification and know that a poor result in north London would leave them with ground to make up.
From a Gunners perspective it will all be about gaining another three points as they strive to ramp up the pressure on title rivals
Mikel Arteta's side are in a fantastic position, but they will be anxious for a return to winning ways in the Premier League after frustrating goalless draws at home to Liverpool and away to Nottingham Forest.

Team news
Gunners defender Piero Hincapie (thigh) and Riccardo Calafiori (unspecified injury) have returned to training and will be assessed with a view to rejoining the squad.
That leaves Max Dowman (ankle) as Arsenal's only definite absentee, while Gabriel, Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard and Victor Gyokeres should return after taking places on the bench for Tuesday's 3-1 victory at Inter Milan.
For United, Matthijs de Ligt (back) and Joshua Zirkzee (unspecified injury) remain out of contention, but Matheus Cunha might have to start a second successive game from the substitutes' bench.
The stats

Prediction
United showed an immediate improvement in their first match under Carrick and they can pass another stiff test by avoiding defeat in north London.
A change in the dugout seems to have brought fresh energy for the Red Devils, who were intense and physical against City and thoroughly merited the three points.
And the template for success against Arsenal will look very similar, with Carrick sticking with the same counter-attacking strategy.
The hosts should have plenty of possession and will offer more of a set-piece threat than the Citizens were able to muster.
However, a well-balanced contest is on the cards and there is a value case for backing the visitors to add at least a point to their tally.
