Three changes for Utd

Carlos Tevez was handed a starting berth but £30.75m record signing Dimitar Berbatov was only on the bench as Manchester United looked to avoid defeat to Arsenal at Old Trafford and lift the Premier League title.

Alex Ferguson made three changes to the side that came from behind to beat Wigan on Wednesday, Darren Fletcher and Ryan Giggs replacing Anderson and Paul Scholes.

The Gunners were without injured duo Manuel Almunia and Emmanuel Adebayor. However, they did have Andrey Arshavin available, the Russia striker now recovered from flu. He missed the recent Champions League mauling by the Red Devils because he was cup-tied.
