Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas enjoys facing Manchester United more than any other Premier League team.

The Gunners face United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, one point behind the champions in the race for the Premier League title.

"Manchester United surpasses all the other matches for me," Fabregas told The Sun.

"As a player it is the one game I really look forward to playing in every season.

"Chelsea is really good, Liverpool too and Tottenham is special, particularly for the fans who get really excited.

"But if you have to pick one game from 38 then playing against Man U is the game.

"For me it is definitely the most special game to play in the Premier League."

Fabregas has been delighted to prove wrong the critics, who wrote off Arsenal's title chances after they were beaten 3-0 by Chelsea in November.

"They had already written us off, even before the season had started," he said.

"But we didn't care. We knew we had to react.

"We haven't lost in the league since, so it has been a very positive reaction."
