Arsenal vs Manchester United preview: How to watch, top four race, score prediction & team lineups for huge Premier League clash. (Photo by OLI SCARFF/AFP via Getty Images) /

Arsenal are right back in the thick of action on Saturday as they host Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium for another huge clash in their top four bid. Here is the match preview.

From the depths of despair to the highs of heroism. Arsenal looked out for the count in the Premier League top four race following three straight defeats, only to breathe life back into the pursuit with a stunning 4-2 win away at Chelsea.

Riddled with injuries and with confidence sapped, Mikel Arteta’s side produced one of the results of the season as they went to the home of the European champions and left with a richly deserved three points.

The manager made some big calls before the game as he opted to make two changes from the Southampton defeat, with the pair of Mohamed Elneny and Rob Holding playing their part in a disciplined and gutsy performance.

It’s a result that sets up the weekend’s visit of Manchester United superbly. What a game of football this will be.

There is one club with some real momentum behind them, and another that was embarrassed by Liverpool in the latest installment of a long line of hilarious collapses.

Humiliated at Anfield with a performance that has been widely referred to as shameful, the Red Devils are not only bereft of confidence, they’re bereft of quality, organisation, spirit and guidance. A team of individuals stumbling their way to the final day of the season where they’re either forced out or force their own way out. Manchester United are rotten from the top down. They’re broken.

Which is why Wednesday night’s excursions can’t be wasted. The highs of that performance and result can’t be for nothing if Arsenal come up short against a side desperately short of hope, and whose fans are vociferously voicing their disgust.

Boasting a strong record at home to United, winning here would not only put Arsenal firmly back in contention, it would also lift them into the top four ahead of Tottenham who don’t play until later that evening. It’s level pegging on games played now, and it’s Arsenal’s turn to crank up the pressure.

What a mouthwatering game we have in store.
