Manchester United v Arsenal: match preview

What will be perceived as a successful season for Louis van Gaal and Arsène Wenger – is a top-four place alone enough to satisfy frustrated boards and fans? Perhaps not, which is why both are striving to add the FA Cup, something Arsenal managed to do last season. Wenger has not overseen a win at Old Trafford since 2006, however, and no win over United at all in seven attempts. Paul Chronnell
