6. Rodney Marsh is tipping Arse. Excellent!

7. Seaman out of form, Ruud in form

8. Bartez in form, Henry out of form

From BBC:
The clash of the giants, as double winners Arsenal form the opposition for Manchester United's second successive Saturday lunchtime fixture with one of the Premiership's 'big three'.

Seven days after pushing themselves back into the title race by defeating Liverpool 1-2 at Anfield, Sir Alex Ferguson's charges welcome the defending champions to Old Trafford.

Nine of the ten Premiership titles have been won by these clubs - United (7), Arsenal (2). There has not been a Premier League season yet when one of these clubs hasn't ended in the top two, and the pair have finished together as winners or runners-up in four of the last five seasons.

Victory for Arsenal would put them seven points clear at the summit for three hours or so. A win for the Red Devils would lift them into second spot at the final whistle, three points off the pace.

When Arsenal were last at Old Trafford, they completed the Premiership and FA Cup 'double'. A draw would have been good enough to have clinched their first Championship in four years. In the event a Sylvain Wiltord goal was sufficient for all three points.

Arsenal won all three meetings against United last season - winning 3-1 at Highbury in the League and 4-0 on the same ground in the Worthington Cup.

Man Utd's last home victory over the Gunners was an unforgettable 6-1 thrashing on 25 February last year.

Ferguson's side go into the game in a rich vein of form. They are seeking a fifth successive League and Cup victory, a fifth consecutive home win and are out to stretch their undefeated run to seven games.

Arsenal would dearly love to inflict a first home defeat on United since Bolton's 0-1 success on 11 September.

The Gunners have won their last two - one each in the Champions League and Premiership. They have secured an unsurpassed 11 top division wins and 36 goals so far this season and are aiming to increase their record breaking run of consecutive League matches in which they've scored, to an incredible 56. The last League game they failed to find the net was the goalless draw at Newcastle on 15 May, 2001.

Dennis Bergkamp still needs one more goal to total 100 for Arsenal, but the match is likely to provide an intriguing comparison between the two most prolific scorers at the top level. Together Arsenal's Thierry Henry and United's Ruud van Nistelrooy have netted 34 club goals. Nine of Henrys' 17 have been in the Premiership. He is currently tied with James Beattie (Southampton), Alan Shearer (Newcastle) and Gianfranco Zola (Chelsea) in the race for the Barclaycard Golden Boot award. Van Nistelrooy has scored eight times in the top League.

Henry and United Diego Forlan are in red hot form. Forlan have scored three in a week, but Henry can better that with five.

Arsenal's 35 points is the best tally they have ever accrued after the first 16 matches of a Premiership season. Both clubs are five points better off than they were at this identical stage last season. The Londoners went on to win the title of course while United finished third.

Both clubs return to Champions League business next week. Arsenal are at home to Valencia on Tuesday, United home o Deportivo La Coruna on Wednesday.

Er. WTF are you talking about. If Henry is out of form at the moment, I would hate to see him in form.
