Just the three live games on the 'Super Sunday hat-trick' this weekend. I'll be based at Old Trafford alongside two Jamies - Carragher and Redknapp - and we kick off early at 11.30am on Sky Sports 1 with Tottenham against Newcastle.

Arsenal have also lost more Premier League games at Old Trafford than at any other ground. They have won one of last 11 League visits to Old Trafford (L8 D2) scoring six and conceding 21 in that time. Sunday will also tell is where we stand with David Moyes's Manchester United. There have been signs of them finding their usual rhythm but we'll find out a lot more on Sunday. Arsenal go into the weekend's fixtures with a five point lead at the top of the table and they lead Man Utd by eight points - it's their biggest lead at the top of the Premier League table since February 11 2008. Arsenal have had superb week with wins over Liverpool in the Premier League and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League; the kind of big games they've struggled to win in previous seasons. The win in Dortmund was particularly impressive. Arsenal became the first English club to win away at Dortmund since Manchester United in the Fairs Cup in November 1964. A famous win. A win characterised by good defending, character, control and organisation. All attributes critics have accused them of lacking in the past few seasons. Win at Old Trafford on Sunday and the doubters will be well and truly silenced.
