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.

"You fool!"
There's not many kind words for the Sky Sports studio for Granit Xhaka. The Arsenal forward dived in as Paul Pogba skipped past him then failed to track his run as he scored.
Thierry Henry: "It's just not good enough for me. Come back and do something, follow him. That reaction I don't understand."
Graeme Souness: "What you try to do is not commit. Don't sell yourself as simple as that. It's kid on football, that guys 25 years old.
"He's cost them that goal, they've been neat and tidy. Nobody's pointing they're finger saying 'don't you do that, you fool!'"
49: Konstantinos Mavropanos leaves a late tackle on Romelu Lukaku and he has to come off. Marcus Rashford comes on as Lukaku limps down the tunnel.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan scores!
Arsenal win the ball high up the pitch and Henrikh Mkhitaryan has a bit of space on the edge of the area. The ball sets nicely for the former Manchester United player and he guides the it into the bottom corner with expert precision that leaves no chance for David De Gea.
52: Quick response
Antonio Valencia's cross is at the back post by Ashley Young who volleys a goal-bound effort which is deflected for a corner. Manchester United have upped the tempo, where have they been hiding this intensity?
