Third face fourth at Old Trafford as Manchester United welcome Arsenal.
Louis van Gaal’s side have already guaranteed Champions League football for next season
after Liverpool’s defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday.
However, the Reds will want to notch another victory over one of their top tier rivals as they look to build towards a title challenge next term.
Arsenal, who are three points behind Manchester City with three matches to play, head into this one on the back of a 1-0 home loss to Swansea on Monday night, but will be confident after winning at Old Trafford in the FA Cup in March.
Arsene Wenger’s side’s defeat to the Swans also ended a 10-match unbeaten run in the league.
Despite that, the North London side have failed to win a league match at Old Trafford since 2006, and The Red Devils won 2-1 at the Emirates earlier in the season.
Luke Shaw and Wayne Rooney both suffered injuries in the first half of last Saturday’s match with Crystal Palace and will miss the clash with the Gunners.
Michael Carrick and Rafael are also unavailable after being ruled out for the rest of the season, whilst Jonny Evans is a doubt.
For the visitors, Danny Welbeck won’t be facing his former club after picking up a knee injury, but Aaron Ramsey is expected to feature.
League Position: Man Utd – 4th, 68 pts; Arsenal – 3rd, 70 pts
Last Meeting: Arsenal 1-2 Man Utd (November 2014)
Key Men: Man Utd – Marouane Fellaini; Arsenal – Alexis Sanchez
Form: Man Utd – WWLLLW; Arsenal – WWWDWL
Prediction: 1-2
