Is it just Rooney vs RVP now?

Its back folks. What was once considered the biggest and most important fixture in the English Premier League, but has been reduced to nothing but a game between a team which resembles a sinking ship and a team struggling to cope with the financial muscle of their "noisy neighbors". The sinking ship is Arsenal FC and the struggling team is Manchester United FC. With all the shine taken away from this fixture off late, partly due to Arsenal FC not being considered title contenders anymore, is this fixture still the biggest in the BPL calendar?or is it just a match up between the man many consider to be one of the 3 best players in the planet now, Robin Van Persie, and mercurial Wayne Rooney.
With the wounds of the 8-2 defeat at the beginning of the season fresh in the minds of gooners and the current worrying form, Arsenal are definitely not the favorites for this game. But I am very sure that all gooners, like me, would be more than happy with a scoreless or a scoring draw with RVP scoring. :)
Weekend review will be posted by end of day tomorrow!
