Sir Alex Ferguson: "Arsenal have had injuries,"
"You can't win games consistently without your best team.
"You just can't do it, not at the level we're at. You can't get the best results without your best players.
"I think it is Arsenal's injuries in the second half of the season that has made it difficult to rest players."
"It's hard to recover from these things," said Ferguson of Arsenal's defeat to Liverpool.
"If we beat them, it makes it difficult for them, no question. It's difficult anyway because they're six points behind us and three points behind Chelsea.
"With five games to go there's not a lot of leeway and they can't afford to drop anything really.
"But we have got to look at ourselves and make sure we keep motoring.
"Every game is a must-win now. We dropped two points last week and we need to win our games, it's as simple as that."
"They've got a good rest for Monday and then three days later they've got Everton away and then they've got a five-day break before they play Liverpool (in the Champions League).
"Then they've got a four-day break before they play us in the league game. Our schedule is a bit more congested."
Birthday's: It is Anderson's birthday tomorrow so if he does play he will be playing for Manchester United on his 20th birthday

Arsenal:
Squad: Almunia, Toure, Gallas, Senderos, Clichy, Eboue, Fabregas, Hleb, Van Persie, Adebayor, Lehmann, Song, Gilberto, Hoyte, Bendtner, Walcott, Diaby.
Injuries: Arsenal are without Flamini who will be out for three weeks.

Wenger:
"It will be the greatest achievement of my career to win the Premier League now because we are swimming against the stream at the moment,"
"For us the game on Sunday is the game of the season. If we do not win this game we have no chance.
"We will fight until the last second of the championship."
"It depends on what happens on Sunday,"
"If we win then we can win the title and that's what is important for us to focus on.
If we win on Sunday then realistically we can win the title
"What is at stake on Sunday is the work of a whole year. If we go there and don't believe in ourselves then it is over.
"But do you really think that we will go to Manchester United thinking that our season is over? That would be ridiculous."
"We have worked extremely hard since the first day of the season against all the odds," "We will fight until the last second of the championship, especially on Sunday. If we win on Sunday then realistically we can win the title."
"You just can't do it, not at the level we're at. You can't get the best results without your best players.
"I think it is Arsenal's injuries in the second half of the season that has made it difficult to rest players."
