Manchester United v Arsenal: match preview

Manchester United have the chance to win three consecutive games for the first time since November by beating Arsenal. The feat would mark an excellent seven days for Louis van Gaal. Arsène Wenger’s side have lost and drawn their past two matches but neither of these were in the league, and given Arsenal are two points behind Leicester City after beating them before the FA Cup round, victory is necessary to continue their push for title glory.
