First a word about parking: Don't even attempt to park near the ground.
As the stadium is in such a heavily-populated residential area, there are severe parking restrictions and, in any case, the surrounding roads are closed to traffic from, in Saturday's case 11.45pm until 3.30pm.
It's far better to park for free outside one of the tube stations on the Piccadilly Line, like Wood Green, and then get the Tube four stops south to Arsenal station.
If you're using a sat-nav or routeplanner, use the postcode N22 6UX to get near Wood Green station.
The journey takes three hours and 29 minutes, is 207 miles and will cost £52.32 in petrol, unless you go on the M6 Toll roll, which is £4.50 either way.
Train - £57.30
Get a Virgin Trains service from Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston, taking about three hours 20 minutes.
Then take the Tube north on the Victoria Line towards Walthamstow and get off at Finsbury Park, taking about 30 minutes.

Public Coach - £22
Megabus has one coach there and two coaches back on the day of the game, going from Chorlton Street to Victoria Coach Station.
On the way there, leave Chorlton Street at 06.30, arrive Victoria Coach Station at 11am, £12 one way.On the way back, leave Victoria Coach Station at 16:30, or 18:30, arrive Chorlton Street at 21:10 or 22:55, £10 one way.
National Express has one coach there and four coaches back, but due to long waits, changes and inconvenience, there's only really one that you'd take.
On the way there, leave Chorlton Street at 06.45, arrive Victoria Coach Station at 11.35am, £12 one way.
On the way back, leave Victoria Coach Station at 15:30, arrive Chorlton Street at 20:50, £12 one way.
Once you've arrived at Victoria Coach Station, turn right and walk the short journey up Buckingham Palace Road to Victoria Tube. (see map above)
Then get the Victoria Line north to Finsbury Park, with a £5.30 two-zone off-peak one-day railcard.
Plane - £261.80
A non-starter. If you'd've booked flights three weeks ago, it would've been much, much cheaper, but you'd be mad to shell out this much now.
