After the 7-5 comes memories of the 8-2 for Arsenal . Arsène Wenger's men travel to Old Trafford buoyed by their incredible midweek recovery against Reading and looking to avenge the mauling they suffered away to Manchester United last season. This is undoubtedly a stronger Arsenal side but there has been one significant weakness to their ranks since thatdefeat – the loss of Robin van Persie, who has continued to sparkle since joining United in August and on Saturday lunch time has the chance to harm former team-mates.
