Premier League Champions Manchester United will take to the pitch to a guard of honour when the face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The hosts go in to the game on the back of six wins from their last seven games, the latest of which coming at Craven Cottage last weekend.

Three points would strengthen the Gunners grip on a top four position as they look to qualify for the Champions League yet again.

Arsene Wenger has no fresh injury concerns though Lukasz Fabianski is not yet ready to return so Wojciech Szczesny is set to continue in goal, while Olivier Giroud begins a three-match suspension following his red card in injury time last time out.

Theo Walcott and Lukas Podolski are both widely available at 8.0 (7/1) to open the scoring, while Santi Cazorla is a 10.0 (9/1) shot with Paddy Power.

Arsenal are favourites to win the match, with Paddy Power offering 2.3 (13/10). United are a 3.3 (23/10) shot with Bet Victor, who offer 3.6 (13/5) for the draw.

The visitors 3-0 win over Aston Villa on Monday was enough to clinch a twentieth league title for the club, and a thirteenth for manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Red Devils will be keen to take all three points, as four wins from their final four games will secure a highest ever number of points in a Premier League season; one more than Chelsea’s record of 95 in the 2004/05 campaign.

Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand are expected to return to the heart of the defence, with Phil Jones possibly moving into midfield.
A number of fringe players are also expected to feature, including Tom Cleverley, Nani, Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck, so Robin Van Persie may even begin the game on the bench.

The Premier League top scorer is set to play at the Emirates for the first time since moving to Manchester last August, and is 7.0 (6/1) with Bet Victor to get the first goal of the game, while Wayne Rooney is worth considering at 8.5 (15/2) with Bet 365.
