Man Utd with chance to extend lead

Premiership Preview
Arsenal v Man Utd (Sunday: 16.00 Sky Sports 1)
Despite some early worries about the effect a new stadium would have on Arsenal, they have remained unbeaten at their new home throughout the season and Fergie's men will find it difficult to improve on a decent record in North London where they have not lost in four.

Both sides have been on fire in recent weeks averaging 2.8 goals a game in their last 5 league outings. Therefore Sporting Index's prediction of just two goals at the Emirates should stir up some interest. If goals don't make the headlines, Mike Riley probably will. However with Gilberto missing in the middle of the park for the Gunners through suspension, tempers may be a little less frayed than usual. Nevertheless, Sporting Index still predict that five players will be cautioned.

Wengers men triumphed over the Red Devils early on in the season, but it was their first win over their foes in nine meetings. With both sides on such a good run of form, Sporting Index find it hard to see past a stalemate. However Wenger will have to keep his eye on United's young stars Rooney and Ronaldo who have both grabbed crucial goals against his side in recent seasons.
