What time is it?
The game kicks off at 4:30pm on Sunday.
Where can I watch it?
The match is available to watch on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event. Coverage is set to get underway at 4:15pm.
It’s a big game for…
Arsene Wenger. The Frenchman is coming up against his long-term rivals Manchester United and Jose Mourinho so will be keen for a positive result in his swansong.
He has not won at Old Trafford in the Premier League for a run of ten consecutive games so a victory this weekend would be the perfect parting shot as he departs the Emirates Stadium.
The best stat…
The game between the two sides will see Wenger go up against the Red Devils for the 60th time in his career.
Throughout his time in the game, he has managed against no other side more than United. The next highest amount of games he has contested against a certain club is 59 with Chelsea.
Player to watch?
Alexis Sanchez. Who else would it be? The Chilean comes up against his former club for the first time since departing in January, and considering the circumstances that he departed the Emirates, he is sure to get a hostile reaction.
As a result, the former Barcelona man could well be more motivated to find the net. He has found a bit of form too, and just at the right time. He has had a hand in five goals in his last four games in all competitions with two strikes of his own and three assists.

Guard of honour
As 'I'm forever blowing bubbles' rings around the London Stadium, West Ham give the Champions a guard of honour as Fernandinho leads Manchester City onto the pitch.
3: As expected Manchester City have had the larger share of the ball in the opening minutes and West Ham are flirting with the idea of pressing high up the pitch. The crucial thing to see is whether West Ham's first pass after winning back the ball can break City's press.
10: City work their first opening and get the ball wide to Kyle Walker who squares a first time ball across goal but nobody in sky blue can get a touch on it.
West Ham 0-1 Manchester City
Leroy Sane
The ball is worked along the edge of the box and Sane gets the ball under control and fires a left footed shot at goal from the right corner of the area. His effort deflects off Patrice Evra and leaves Adrian helpless as the ball trundles into the net.
There was barely a ripple of applause as that one went in but it's goal number 99 for Manchester City, who are getting closer to their 100th Premier League goal.
15: West Ham respond
Straight away West Ham almost hit back. Manuel Lanzini receives a one-two from Marko Arnautovic then rolls the ball across goal. Waiting at the back post is Aaron Cresswell but Ederson gets across and collects.
20: Sterling goes close
Ilkay Gundogan and Raheem Sterling combine to give the English winger space in the box to shoot. On the half-turn, Sterling swivels and drags a left footed shot wide. "It should be 24 (goals)," says Gary Neville on Sky Sports.
Adrian is seen here with the sort of 'I should have saved that' look, but there was very little he could do about Leroy Sane's shot which deflected off Patrice Evra and into the net.
West Ham 0-2 Manchester City
Declan Rice (own goal)
What a disaster at the back!
City launch a long ball forward which Adrian rushes out of his box to deal with but leaves himself very exposed. Raheem Sterling's shot at an open goal is blocked and then Ilkay Gundogan manages to move the ball onto Kevin De Bruyne on the right. The Belgian flashes a ball across the face of goal and Adrian touches onto Declan Rice who clears it against Pablo Zabaleta and the ball ends up in the back of the net.
City score their 100th Premier League goal in the most bizarre of circumstances which Gary Neville neatly sums up on Sky Sports, "it's madness, it's mayhem, they're everywhere!"
