BIG-MATCH FACTS
Manchester United will be crowned 2008-09 Premier League champions, if they avoid defeat in this Saturday lunchtime fixture with Arsenal.
They will become the first club to claim two hat-tricks of English top-flight titles; their first was also in the Premier League (1999, 2000 and 2001). Only four clubs have done the hat-trick; the others were Huddersfield (1924, 25 and 26), Arsenal (1933, 34 and 35) and Liverpool (1982, 83 and 84).
It will also be Sir Alex Ferguson's 11th English league title and the 14th domestic league championship of his managerial career. The 67-year-old Scot will become the most decorated manager in English and Scottish football with 31 major titles (excluding the World Club Championship), passing the 30 accumulated by Bill Struth for Rangers between 1920 and 1954 and by Willie Maley for Celtic between 1897 and 1940.
The only home points dropped this season have been a defeat by Liverpool (1-4, 14th March), and an early draw with Newcastle (1-1, last August).
The Premier League campaign ends a week today, away to Hull on 24 May, three days before the Champions League final with Barcelona in Rome.
