Man Utd know that if they are to keep up the pace on Arsenal they must win at St. James Park. If Arsenal win earlier in the day United may even be eight points behind the Gunners, but Kevin Keegan would just 'love it' if his Toon side pick up a shock result against old rival Sir Alex Ferguson.
Overview
Man Utd are five points off the pace with Arsenal at the top and Kevin Keegan still awaits his first victory as boss of the Toon. Manchester United may find themselves eight points behind leaders Arsenal at this stage.
