Mikel Arteta and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer face off on New Year's Day as Arsenal and Manchester United go head to head in what should be a fiery Premier League clash.
Date: Wednesday, January 1st, 2020
Venue: Emirates Stadium, London
Kick-off time: 8pm GMT
Prediction: Arsenal 1-2 Manchester United
The Red Devils refound their groove over Christmas, and have performed well in all the big games this season. Arsenal showed spirit in a 2-1 loss vs Chelsea and could come out on top here, but you'd back this United attack against that Gunners defence on most days.
