Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata is looking forward to their clash with Arsenal this weekend.
Mata wrote on his personal blog:
"There were no fixtures in the Premier League and that's why I'm already looking forward to our next match on Saturday.
"I have good memories of my previous games against Arsenal; obviously they are a tough opponent, as they play very good football and they also leave you to play. The Emirates is a great stadium and I hope we have a nice game and bring back three points to keep moving up the table.
"We've just had a few days off that help you to switch off both physically and mentally with a view to Christmas, the busiest period of the season when we play many games in a short time. "
