The feature match of the Barclay's Premier League this weekend will see Arsenal travel north to Manchester to take on the Red Devils of Manchester United. It will be the first fixture of the season to feature members of the "Big Four" squaring off against each other. Both teams bring potent offenses to the pitch and this is sure to be a test of both sides’ title dreams. Kickoff is set for 17:15 local time at Old Trafford in Manchester, UK.

Arsenal and Man U enter the match sitting in second in the Premier League with six points. Arsenal has a slight edge in the standings, having six points through two games while Manchester United has six points through three games. The Gunners bring a scoring juggernaught to the pitch as they have found the back of the net 15 times in their four competitive games this season while conceding only three goals against. Arsenal's last Premier League game was a 4-1 victory over Portsmouth in their home opener. Manchester United enter the match fresh off a sound victory over Wigan Athletic last weekend. The Red Devils found the back of the net five times in route to their 5-0 win over Wigan.

Question marks surround both teams in the early going of the season. Prior to the Premier League starting, many questioned whether Arsenal had enough talent to remain in the "Big Four" this season. While they're fiery start has silenced doubters, the quality of opponents faced still leaves questions. The Gunners have beaten Everton 6-1 and Portsmouth 4-1 to open the season, but both teams sit firmly at the bottom of the table with zero points. Manchester United had questions asked of them as well after letting their most talented player and top goal scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo, leave for Real Madrid. Last weekend's 5-0 victory calmed debate, but an opening 1-0 victory over Birmingham and a 1-0 defeat against Burnley still have some wondering if Man U can snag their fourth straight title.

A victory will be crucial to both teams, not only to keep pace with the top of the table, but to silence doubters. Many supporters and fans of the game still wonder if these two clubs are as good as they were last season. Neither side made many additions after losing key players. A solid outing from both sides will go a long way to clear up the future of these two clubs.
