Manchester United host Arsenal in a mouthwatering match at Old Trafford.
These sides met in May when a 0-0 draw was enough for United to claim their third straight title.
MANCHESTER UNITED TEAM NEWS
Rio Ferdinand and Edwin van der Sar remain United's major absentees for the big showdown.
Sir Alex Ferguson feels Ferdinand may not quite be ready for the trip to Tottenham Hotspur on 12th September but his recovery from a thigh injury will not keep him out for much longer.
Ben Foster will continue in goal, while Michael Carrick and Anderson are hoping for recalls after missing the five-goal rout of Wigan Athletic.

Theo Walcott (back), Lukasz Fabianski (knee), Samir Nasri (broken leg) and Johan Djourou (knee) all continue their rehabilitation.
