On Sunday, Manchester United face Arsenal in the Premier League. Though Erik ten Hag's side has recovered since their poor start against Brentford and Brighton they face a North London side who has won every single game so far this season.
Gabriel Jesus has been at the forefront of their revolution, driving the team forward but the likes of Martin Odegaard and Aaron Ramsdale have been key. The latter duo were expected to miss the game through injury but the Manchester Evening News understands that both have travelled with the squad to Manchester.
But this isn't the first time that United have faced Arsenal in a rich vein of form and if they were to win it wouldn't be the first time they've ended an unbeaten run. Most United fans will remember or at least have heard of the famous Pizzagate incident which came after the team stopped Arsene Wenger's side from hitting 50 unbeaten games in a row.

The 'Battle of the Buffet' as it also came to be known was immortalised due to the fact a slice of pizza was thrown at Sir Alex Ferguson's head. For years it was unknown who the culprit was but Cesc Fabregas would own up to the act many years later on Sky TV show 'A League of their Own'.
But that game was also known for how combative it was on the pitch. The game was punctuated with a number of strong and in some cases dangerous fouls; Arsenal fans to this day complain about how Gary Neville should have been sent off in their eyes.
But one event that still causes controversy is the penalty won by Wayne Rooney in the 2-0 win. And on the eve of the next clash between the two giants of the Premier League past, the English striker has referred to it in his column in The Times.
He said: "Even now, people ask if it was a penalty. Well, I think so. There wasn’t massive contact but if you get turned in the box and the defender leaves their leg out, there’s an opportunity."
Now with VAR, there should be no argument over a call like Rooney's penalty in Sunday's match. However, fans can expect it to be a fiery affair with a lot of cards, but hopefully, a game in which United put an end to yet another Arsenal unbeaten run.
