LONDON, Nov 3 (AFP): Arsenal can take a huge stride towards reclaiming the Premier League title by beating Manchester United in an enticing top-of-the-table clash Saturday.
The two sides are level on points at the top of the table but Arsenal's game in hand means a six-point advantage would be within their grasp if they can overcome the champions at the Emirates Stadium.
Having won both Premier League encounters with United last season and put together a 17-match unbeaten run in all competitions in the current campaign, Wenger's men will not be short of confidence that they can claim all three points.
But United are in equally bullish mood, having hit the net four times in each of their last four matches and the likes of Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and new boy Carlos Tevez all running into form.
Nothing will be decided Saturday but the outcome will have important pyschological repercussions for the rest of the campaign and United boss Sir Alex Ferguson believes the match has come at the right time for his squad.
