Man Utd will face one of their toughest test on retaining their Premiership title as well as the much coveted FA Cup and Champions League ambition.

Starting tonight FA Cup mouthwatering clash with fierce rival Arsenal, Arsene Wenger will feel that a win for them at Old Trafford with land a psychological blow to the Red Devils’ Premier League title race.

While Sir Alex Ferguson will have one eye on the Champions League away match against Lyon, the boss knows better how anything less than a victory against the Gunners tonight may damage United’s confidence in the title race and more importantly against the unpredictable Lyon.

Worst still, Man Utd will then go to Newcastle next week where Kevin Keegan’s men would take every opportunity against a tired United back four, back from a grueling Champions League campaign.

While United’s midfield may have the likes of Scholes, Anderson, Giggs, Nani, Carrick and Hargreaves, it is in attack where they have only Rooney and Tevez while the defence relied heavily on Ferdinand and Vidic, which would worry Sir Alex.

Still, for a big club like Man Utd, and to emulate 1999 treble, they just have to win everything.
