The two teams are equal on points in the Premier League table, with only goal difference edging the fifth-placed Gunners above United in sixth. And while United have been resurgent under new interim manager, and club legend, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following the acrimonious departure of Jose Mourinho, Arsenal have a good record this season at home against the big sides, with Unai Emery's men having notched up recent wins against Chelsea and Tottenham as well as a creditable draw against league leaders Liverpool.

The last meeting between Arsenal and United, at Old Trafford, resulted in a 2-2 draw, but the Gunners were beaten 3-1 at home in December. Meanwhile, both sides have FA Cup experience of the highest order, with United's 12 trophy wins second only to the the Gunners' record 13 titles.

All in all, it's a tough one to call, and while their rivalry may not have quite the intensity it did back in the day under Alex Ferguson and Arsène Wenger, the added frisson of knock-out football ensures this is a tasty prospect for fans and neutrals alike.
