The classic Premier League rivalry between Manchester United and Arsenal will headline Matchday 28 in England’s top flight this coming weekend.

Man United will welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford on the evening of Sunday 9 March, with the Red Devils desperate for a positive result against a big name after what has been a terrible campaign. The Red Devils have enough daylight between themselves and the relegation zone not to fear the dreaded drop, but even a lowly to-half finish seems beyond them.
As for Arsenal, they are looking to put pressure on Liverpool in the title race and need to claim three points from their trip to the ‘Theatre of Dreams’. “Every game has a different context,” said Gunners manager Mikel Arteta. “We know the difficulty and the history when you look at what we’ve done over there [at Old Trafford], so we’re going to have to be at our best to earn the right to win the game.”
The weekend’s action gets going early on Saturday afternoon with a potential thriller between Nottingham Forest and Manchester City. The former have enjoyed an amazing campaign, while the champions have struggled to produce their best form – though the promising form of Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush has been a notable silver lining.
“I have to thank my teammates, the coach and staff, everyone helped me from the first day making me feel part of this family. It was an amazing atmosphere. I would like to thank the fans for the really nice applause,” said Marmoush.
Saturday also features Liverpool surely claiming three points at home to relegation-bound Southampton, Brentford hosting Aston Villa, and Everton visiting Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium.
Sunday, aside from the Man United v Arsenal clash, will bring a battle between Chelsea and Leicester City at Stamford Bridge, as well as Bournemouth heading to Tottenham Hotspur, while Monday night closes out the round with West Ham United hosting Newcastle United – where Hammers manager Graham Potter will be under pressure to bring some cheer to the club’s supporters.
“Sometimes you have to say, look, we didn’t do what we wanted to do and it’s a collective. It’s not just the players, its myself and everybody involved,” said Potter.
