Arsenal's goalless draw at Fratton Park mean Manchester United stay top of the Premier League. Harry Redknapp's men pushed Arsene Wenger's side all the way and looked the more likely winners throughout the game. The result means Arsenal remain behind the Red Devils as we enter the final game of the 2007 fixture programme.

Sir Alex Ferguson's men are a point clear of the Gunners after they drew a blank on the south coast against a determined Portsmouth side.

United went two points clear of their North London rivals after their crusihing win at Sunderland and have Pompey to thank for remaining top of the Boxing Day tree.

Victory at Upton Park on Saturday will secure United's place as league leaders as we head into 2008.
