Arsenal, Man United to the test
The Premier League has been typically unpredictable thus far, just as it was starting to look like a one-horse race, Manchester City's sharp fall in form has seen the Premier League standings blown wide open as bitter rivals Manchester United took their place atop the English perch.

Week 8 presents another chance to look forward in anticipation of the drama to come, with the match between Arsenal and Manchester Unitedat the Emirates anticipated to be a big test of each club's title credentials.
Man Utd travel to north London having won three Premier League games in a row and currently sit top of the table, while Arsenal got back to winning ways in the league with an impressive 5-2 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium last Saturday afternoon.
That sets up the Super Sunday clash between the two rivals, one Neville believes could be an indicator as to which club is best prepared for a sustained title challenge this season.
It almost seems a fate-like coincidence that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger would speak of how aware he was of Anthony Martial's great potential only for the player to come back and hurt him on behalf of another club.
Martial is a true modern centre forward. When he gets free and leaves the centre, it's actually to speed up and get away from the central defenders.
The French youngster is proving to be not only a star scorer himself, though, after re-igniting team-mate Wayne Rooney's scoring form against Sunderland this weekend.
The Gunners haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last four outings and face a United team out to claim their fourth win in succession, with Martial standing out as their man of the moment.
