Arsene Wenger's Arsenal face Jose Mourinho's Man Utd on Sunday, live on Sky
It's 40 years since Arsenal and Manchester United played each other in the second half of a season with both teams outside of the top four.
That's the situation facing both clubs on Super Sunday, when fifth-placed United travel to sixth-placed Arsenal, live on Sky Sports.
Both teams will be desperate for three points to boost their hopes of securing a Champions League qualifying spot.

It's an unusual situation for both giants to be in, with 1977 the last time they were in a similar situation this late on in a season.
On May 14 that year, United were in sixth and Arsenal seventh.
Man Utd went on to lift the FA Cup in 1977
United, playing at home and managed by Tommy Docherty, came out on top, winning 3-2, thanks to goals from Lou Macari, Jimmy Greenhoff and Gordon Hill, while Liam Brady and Frank Stapleton responded for Terry Neill's visitors.
The fixture was United's penultimate of the 1976/77 league season, and Arsenal's final game. United went on to win the FA Cup 2-1, beating Liverpool in the final.
Current United boss Mourinho was just 14 at the time, while Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was 27 and playing for ASPV Strasbourg. As for the current Arsenal and United players, none were born when the 1977 fixture took place.
Also in 1977...
- The first Star Wars film opens in cinemas
- Red Rum wins a record third Grand National
- The Clash release their debut album
- Virginia Wade wins Wimbledon
- Elvis Presley dies
- Liverpool beat Ipswich Town to the league title and lift the European Cup
Shay Given is the only player to have made a Premier League appearance this season who was alive at the time, while 'I don't want to talk about it' by Rod Stewart was No 1.
The focus will be firmly on the current Arsenal and Manchester Untied crop on Sunday, though, as the two teams compete for much-needed points at the Emirates.
Once the Premier League's most competitive rivals, these two clubs are facing an uphill struggle to qualify for the Champions League this season
Arsenal and Manchester United meet with their hopes of finishing in the Premier League's top four on the line at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
The Red Devils and Gunners currently sit fifth and sixth respectively in the English top flight and neither can afford to drop points again after doing so last weekend.
Wenger: United dangerous despite injuries
Arsenal suffered defeat in the north London derby against Tottenham while United were held by relegation-threatened Swansea City, and if this match produces a loser they can likely forget about catching Manchester City or Liverpool.
