Man Utd vs Arsenal: One MAJOR factor could make huge difference to Gunners tonight - Keown
ARSENAL boss Unai Emery will ensure that his players do not let their recent success go to their collective heads.

That’s according to Gunners hero Martin Keown, who thinks that’s a big change from recent times under Arsene Wenger.
Previous sides were criticised for going overboard after winning one-off games but then failing to capitalise.
Dressing room selfies and social media posts were all too frequent during the previous regime despite relatively regular disastrous results.
Emery has overseen a culture shift at Arsenal which has seen the club go 19 games unbeaten.
And ahead of their huge clash with Man Utd tonight, Keown thinks his former team will keep the momentum going.
"In the past, the praise the players are receiving might have gone to their heads,” he wrote in the Daily Mail.
"Emery will want to ensure this group don’t get ahead of themselves.
"There is no point going to Old Trafford and allowing all that good work to be thrown out of the window.

"You can’t live off one win. You must build on it.
"There was a good spirit against Tottenham. Arsenal’s players played like street-fighters.
"They cannot lose that hunger or desire just because they are receiving pats on the back.
"I am certain Emery will remind the team of their targets and emphasise that they have not actually achieved anything yet.”

Arsenal have not won at Old Trafford since 2006 and could make a big statement with a win over Jose Mourinho’s team tonight.
"They are unbeaten in 19 games but Arsenal want to be in the top four and the Champions League,” Keown continued.
"Yes, they are producing fantastic football and they can beat United.
"I think the penny dropped for the fans and the players that they were on the right track when they faced Liverpool at the Emirates early last month.”
