Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Premier League fixture between Arsenal and Manchester United. I'll be your host today as we experience this fixture that has regained its relevance.
- Here is what people are saying about the game.
- Arsenal re-establish their five-point lead at the top of the Premier League, with a game in hand.
- The game is over!!! Arsenal have grabbed all three points in this pulsating encounter. Champions stuff, what a game.
- 3-2!!! 3-2!!! Nketiah has scored what looks like the winner for Arsenal.
- Goalllll Nketiah, right on the 90-minute mark.
- Leandro Trossard comes on for his debut. Martinelli is taken off from Wan Bissaka's pocket.
- 10 minutes of normal time to go, the next goal , if any feels like the match decider.
- Fred comes on for Anthony.
- What a strike from Bukayo Saka, similar angle to the first, and nearly a similar outcome too, as it clips the outside of the crossbar.
)
- Goallll Lisandro Martinez scores a header. You heard me right, Lisandro Martinez scores a header. 2-2!!! 2-2!!!
- Goallll, Bukayo Saka strikes to put Arsenal ahead. God's child scores again.
- What wizardry from Martin Odegaard, to think many Arsenal fans disrespected him because they would rather the club had signed Maddison.
- Manchester United's new boy has been invisible all game.
- Second-half starts
- Rashford rinsed Ben White so much Arteta decided to make a change at half-time
- Arsenal making a half-time substitution. Tomiyasu comes on for Ben White.
- Marcus Rashford has scored 10 goals in his last 10 games for Manchester United.
- Anthony Taylor blows for half-time. Both teams have shown why they are so high on the Premier League table. It has been a blow-for-blow affair, but Arsenal have landed more body shots. The home side have been the better side, but they have not been able to turn their dominance into goals.
- The quality of the football in this fixture compared to the Chelsea-Liverpool drab-fest yesterday is an interesting marker of where Arsenal and Manchester United are now.
)
- Nketiah's goal is his first against Manchester United, but it is his 12th goal in his last 13 games at the Emirates.
- Four times!!! four times!!! Arteta alerts the referee to the fouls suffered by his players. He gets a yellow card for his troubles.
- Oh, now Arteta be scared. Odegaard looks winded. Remains to be seen if the Arsenal captain can continue.
- Premier League be scared. What a team Mikel Arteta has built. Manchester United have been out-boxed so far.
- Nketiahhhhh!!! 1-1, game on I tell you, game on.
- For the Fantasy Premier League players, Bruno Fernandes got the assist.
- What a strike from Marcus Rashford, dances past Thomas Partey and hits the ball hard and true from just outside the box. MBE does it again for Manchester United.
- Rashfordddddd Goalllllllllll
- Wan Bissakaaaaa!!! What a strike, connecting with a Bukayo Saka cross to nearly score one of the own goals of the season.
- Odegaard is playing like a man on a mission, you would think Emirates is underbridge the way he is picking Bruno Fernandes' pocket.
- Arsenal threatened to run over Manchester United in the opening minutes, but the away side have gotten themselves into the game. That is if De Gea's distribution does not take them out of it again.
)
- We are underway!!!
)
- Major team news for Manchester United. Casemiro missing due to a suspension from card accumulation. New signing Wout Weghorst starts.
- Mikel Arteta names an unchanged line-up from the team that beat Tottenham in the North London Derby.
- Manchester United have emerged as a surprise title contender this season, and they would be looking to get back on track following the slip-up against Crystal Palace last game week.
- A game in hand is not worth much if you do not win it. Arsenal would be well aware of Manchester City's win against Wolves and would be looking to reestablish their margin on the chasing pack, which is now down to two points. They would be trying to do it against the only team that has managed to beat them this season.
