After suffering a leg break after scoring a goal against Everton in August, French striker Olivier Giroud broke his leg which rumored to keep him out until Christmas. However, Giroud return will be good for the Arsenal fans who would now see a proper battle for the striker support, the Frenchman is ages ahead of schedule as he would make a timely return to the team when Manchester United will visit the Emirates this weekend.

Last season, this fixture ended goal-less as Moyes’ Manchester United held Arsenal at their home-turf much to the annoyance of Arsenal fans who expected fire-works on Van Persie’s return to the Emirates.

They may have their chance now to serve revenge in a proper way as former Manchester United and current Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck is on song after his multi-million move.

Arsenal were lingering in the absence of Arteta who last made his appearance against Anderlecht away from home in a Champions League game. He was the missing factor in the Arsenal midfield when the Gunners lost the plot midway away to Swansea City. And now with his return, the Gunners might expect some good change.

Arsenal record against the top teams has been way from being impressive, with Tottenham the only team in the top 7 last year which they defeated last season. And now as a big fixture awaits them, Arsene Wenger would be hoping for a change of fortunes this season.
