Patrice Evra shares nickname he gives Arsenal as Manchester United 'always beat them'

Patrice Evra has joked that he used to call Arsenal his 'babies' while playing for Manchester United as they were so easy to beat.

United travel to the Emirates on Sunday afternoon in another huge Premier League clash. Should Erik Ten Hag's side do what no other team has done this season and leave North London with a win, then the Reds will close the gap among the three leading horses to just five points.

Arsenal have picked up a reputation for being somewhat confrontational this season, typified by a number of FA fines the club have received for failing to control their players during games. That, plus the quality of both sides going into Sunday, has given the meeting a feel of past times when both would consistently challenge for titles.
