Arsenal looking for their first win at Old Trafford in nearly a decade.
Arsenal take-on Man United in the FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford in what is undoubtedly the tie of the round which pits the two teams who have won this competition the most against each other.
For the Gunners, it is all about getting over the psychological barrier which is a factor when going to Old Trafford and the north London side will certainly be wanting revenge for somehow losing the league encounter between the two sides earlier on in the season.

Arsenal Boss Arsene Wenger Reveals He Was Spat On During His Playing Days In France
Here is how the Gunners are expected to line-up.
GK) Wojciech Szczesny
Trained ahead of the encounter after being a doubt heading into the game and will no doubt be hoping to impress and get back in the starting XI on a regular basis.
RB) Hector Bellerin
Continues to impress and grow on a weekly basis and is one of the first names on the team sheet – Mathieu Debuchy has a fight on his hands when he returns.
CB) Per Mertesacker
Returned to the side in midweek with a commanding performance after being given a rest against Everton last week, Mertesacker will be key for the defensive side of Arsenal’s game.
CB) Laurent Koscielny
Gabriel’s hamstring injury mean Koscielny will come a back in and partner Mertesacker hoping to replicate the defensive performance at the Etihad Stadium in January.
LB) Kieran Gibbs
Has returned to the team ahead of the perviously impressive Nacho Monreal and needs to do more to cement his place with Charlie Austin’s goal on Wednesday night partly his fault.
CDM) Francis Coquelin
Played with a mask due to a broken nose on Wednesday night and his performance showed why Wenger was desperate for the Frenchman to play, one of the most important players in the team.
CM) Santi Cazorla
The chief tormentor in the Arsenal team and Cazorla could be the deciding factor in the game with Man United not possessing a player of his ilk in their midfield.
CAM) Mesut Ozil
The German needs to finally produce in a big game and given that he will probably be granted a central role, Ozil can have no excuses and must also offer something when not in possession of the ball.
AMR) Danny Welbeck
Wenger can play Welbeck, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain or Theo Walcott on the right hand side but with an expansive midfield, the Arsenal boss may opt for the former Man United given his defensive qualities.
AML) Alexis Sanchez
Scored a virtuoso solo goal against QPR to remind many what he is capable after going seven games without scoring and Alexis will certainly be the most dangerous man on the pitch on Monday night.
CF) Olivier Giroud
Another goal to add to his record on Wednesday after being questioned, but Giroud must still prove that he can score goals in on the biggest stage and not need too many chances.
