Manchester United and Arsenal lock horns again in the Sky Live blockbuster at Highbury on Tuesday with both sides desperate to cling on to Chelsea's coat-tails in the title race.
| LIVE ON SKY SPORTS 1 (TUE - 8PM): Arsenal 13/10 Draw 2/1 Man. Utd 12/5 |
This rivalry has become bitter and personal in recent seasons with disclipinary offenses on and off the pitch filling more column inches than the footballing action on the park.
The game is the first meeting between the two clubs since the infamous bust-up between the two after United ended The Gunners' 49-match unbeaten record in October and Sky Bet have got odds on the Good, the Bad and the potentially Ugly side of this must-win game for both teams.
In a game where neutrals are few and far between, a third consecutive Highbury draw between these teams looks the best option at 2/1.
With five of Arsenal's last six draws coming via a 1-1 scoreline that looks a tasty 11/2 correct score option.
Thierry Henry has a fantastic record against United and, having scored six goals in the last four league games against The Red Devils at Highbury, the Frenchman's 5/1 first scorer quote stands out and that rises to a 28/1 goalcast should the game end 1-1.
Freddie Ljungberg had an amazing start to his Arsenal career against Manchester United, scoring in his first three Premiership games against them, making his 9/1 quote tempting for Gooners.
Arsenal are the only team that Wayne Rooney has scored against in the league in three separate games and the man for the big occasion is 5/1 to break the deadlock.
Turning to the bad, the 10/11 on Manchester United being the first team carded is a stand-out offer.
A Red Devils player has seen yellow first in NINE of the last ELEVEN encounters between these teams.
Roy Keane (nine bookings against Arsenal) who takes on Patrick Vieira, Gary Neville, who goes up against Robert Pires, and Cristiano Ronaldo who will go head-to-head with Ashley Cole look the men most likely to be first into Mike Riley's notebook at 7/1, 8/1 and 14/1 respectively.
And what about the ugly. There have been seven sending-offs in as many seasons when these sides met, all of which have come after the interval.
There is 7/2 on a second-half dismissal while that becomes a 6/1 offer should the red card be shown in the final ten minutes.
