It had only taken just over a year for Arsene Wenger’s revolution to really start taking shape. The north Londoners had started the 1997/98 season strongly, losing only one of their first 13 matches, but the welcoming of champs and table-toppers Manchester United to Highbury was easily their toughest test yet. And yet Wenger's side took the lead when 18-year-old Nicolas Anelka brilliantly fired beyond Peter Schmeichel his first Premier League goal. They were two up before the break when Patrick Vieira brilliantly swept a loose ball back across the Dane and into the net. Typically, United fought back and ex-Spurs striker Teddy Sheringham netted a speedy double to enrage the locals. But Arsenal would have had the last laugh courtesy of David Platt's late header. The win moved Arsenal to within a point of top spot, and by May they were champions for the first time under Wenger era. A great rivalry was well under way.
Fisticuffs, fines, penalty shootouts, extra-time winners: fixtures between Arsenal and Manchester United have been heavy on needle for nearly 30 years. The Premier League hasn’t seen a rivalry as fierce or competitive as the one these two clubs shared in the late-1990s and early-2000s and, in truth, the English top flight is a poorer place for it. Games from that era inevitably dominate our slideshow, but there were some humdingers both before and after too. Here are the most memorable meetings between the Gunners and the Red Devils.
