52'
Wilshere deemed to be late on Cleverley. Wishere none too happy with that call. Might had had a case.
51'
Ferdinand lifts the ball straight out of play. Taking no chances. Arsenal continue to push and probe without too much joy.
50'
Sagna again aiming for head of Giroud. But Smalling is well positioned to clear the danger for the visiting team.
49'
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 32 Premier League matches where they have not conceded in the first-half (29 wins) – since their 2-0 home defeat v Swansea in December 2012.
48'
Mata throws a free-kick in at some pace. Nodded on by Carrick, but the ball drifts a few yards wide of goal. Not the worst effort by Carrick.
47'
Rafael has departed the scene with Rio Ferdinand introduced for the visitors.
46'
Off we go then for this second half with the scoreline at 0-0.
45+2'
There goes the whistle for the break. It is 0-0 in this one. No goals. Which is just about right. Not overloaded with chances this one.
44'
We are into two minutes of time added on with Cazorla's corner failing to find Laurent Koscielny on the run.
43'
Cazorla dinks the cross into the path of Giroud, but his header deflects off a United player for a corner.
42'
Arteta back to head clear the Van Persie corner before Mertesacker does likewise with a cross seconds later. All a bit too predictable.
41'
Rafael then sends a cross straight out of play seconds later. That is a disappointing delivery, it must be said.
40'
Mata tries to link up with Rooney on the edge of the home area, but Arsenal have enough bodies back to deal with the danger.
39'
Play being held up to give Rafael the chance to recover. Giroud looks to be fine as Rafael continues to be treated.
38'
Giroud and Rafael suddenly on the deck needing some treatment. Rafael with a bad blow to the back or neck as he came down. A shuddering crash landing.
37'
Arsenal with the greater possession stats, but yet to really cut through United. Both teams putting a lot into this midfield battle.
36'
Wilshere the latest man on the ground in need of some help after the challenge by Valencia. But he is also back on his feet seconds later.
35'
Gibbs down on the ground needing a spot of treatment. Bit of a head knock and the play is called back.
34'
Cazorla looks for the run of Gibbs. He manages to get the header on target, but straight into the arms of De Gea.
33'
Gibbs with a powerful run down a flank. Sees the delivery blocked, but Arsenal have a corner. Van Persie helping out his defence from the corner.
32'
Clattenburg calling Rooney over for a bit of a lecture. Vidic also in attendance in his role as the United captain.
