The fixture that brought us “the battle of the buffet”, Manchester United’s 8-2 win, and Arsène Wenger being sent to the Old Trafford stands (to name but a few memorable occasions) has gone a little quiet recently. José Mourinho and Wenger are hardly bosom buddies and United are desperate for the win to cut the deficit to Arsenal to three points, so maybe sparks will fly again. Jamie Jackson
