Arsenal host Manchester United on Sunday in what could prove to be a significant game in their Premier League title push.

The Gunners started the weekend with a seven-point lead at the top of the standings, although consecutive goalless draws in the league has at least allowed the chasing pack to retain hope of hauling them in.

United convincingly beat Manchester City in the derby last week in Michael Carrick's first game as interim boss. He managed a home win over Arsenal the last time he held such a role, but replicating that result against a team who have not lost at home all season is a big ask.

5 mins before kickoff: There's some lights show going on at Emirates Stadium right now, with the players waiting in the tunnel. United wearing drill tops that pay tribute to Gary 'Mani' Mounfield, the much-loved bass player from the Stone Roses and Primal Scream, who sadly died last Novermber. Here they come.

40 mins before kickoff: Arsenal have failed to fully capitalise on Manchester City dropping points recently with back-to-back goalless draws against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. Saturday's win over bottom-of-the-table Wolves saw City cut the gap to four points and Aston Villa have done likewise with a 2-0 win at Newcastle. It would be good to see some of the attacking freedom Arsenal showed in their respective recent wins over Chelsea and Inter Milan in the Carabao Cup and UEFA Champions League. Gabriel Jesus could be an important figure in terms of shifting them in that direction, having scored a brace at San Siro.

1 hour before kickoff: Somewhat unsurprisingly, Michael Carrick has decided to stick with the United side that did such a fine job against Manchester City. Nevertheless, they can expect a far more robust challenge from this Arsenal team.

1 hour 40 mins before kickoff: United are understandably riding high after raking Manchester City apart in last weekend's derby, a result that leaves City fans in the unusual position of rooting for a United victory here. But their record at Emirates Stadium is dismal of late. United are winless in this corner of north London since December 2017 in and have lost their past four visits in the Premier League. They did manage to prevail on penalties in the FA Cup last season, however.
