Man Utd vs Arsenal - 5 Reasons Why Gunners' Undefeated Streak Will End

3. Man Utd Have A Knack Of Ending Arsenal Runs

During the years under Sir Alex Ferguson, United pulled off a superb double in 2004, not only managing to beat the reining champions at Old Trafford, but also ending their unprecedented unbeaten run. The Gunners had not lost in their previous 49 games in the Premier League, and were keen to reach a nice round figure in 50, with that game coming against United in Manchester. This was sure to be a true test of the Gunners' strength and character, with pundits suggesting they wouldn't be beaten for a long time to come. Naturally they lost, with the 2-0 defeat littered in controversy, first to a debatable penalty decision, which Ruud van Nisterooy took great delight in netting, and a later in an incident that could have seen Rio Ferdinand sent off for a last man foul on Freddie Ljungberg. Rooney rounded off the win late on to confirm Arsenal stopped at 49. Arsenal go into the game on Sunday having not lost in the league since that opening day defeat to Villa, where we'll see if David Moyes has inherited his predecessor's abilities to stop the Gunners in their tracks.
