Manchester United defender Denis Irwin claims United will give everything to stop Arsenal winning the Premiership title at Old Trafford on Wednesday, the Evening Standard reported.

The Gunners need just a point to relieve United of the Premiership

trophy, which has taken up almost permanent residence at Old Trafford.

The 36-year-old Irishman said: "We have Arsenal coming next Wednesday so we will be ready for that. Arsenal here is a big, big game for us. We want to win that and make them have to win their last game at home. That's all we can do. We don't want them to win the title at Old Trafford.

"They will be hoping to do that and they'll be thinking the sooner

they do it the better, but we'll have a go. We'll have to pick ourselves up and there's no doubt that we are down and disappointed about what's happened."

The English title-holders are destined to end the season empty-handed for only the third time in 13 campaigns, but Irwin remains defiant.

He recalled the 1997-98 season when United last won nothing and responded by winning the Treble the following campaign.
