Good afternoon, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Arsenal v Manchester United. Team news is just in...

Appeals for a penalty after Wilshere goes to ground under pressure from Shaw, but referee waves play on. Got that call right.

De Gea with a superb stop to deny Wilshere. Wilshere should really have scored there. Had all the goal to go at, but De Gea guessed right.

More impressive play by Arsenal as Welbeck this time comes up with the shot, but De Gea again reacts well to come up with the stop.

Wilshere with a superb surging run at the United defence, but De Gea is well placed to make a solid stop.

Shaw back on the park for the moment. Welbeck doing well to press up the park in closing down De Gea in the United goal.

Shaw is limping at the side of the park. Will he be able to return? Welbeck nods over the bar from the Oxlade-Chamberlain cross. Too much on that header from the England forward.

Shaw has went over on his ankle, and this doesn't look like good news. Could be a soft issue injury. Looks like ligament damage.

Ramsey on the run for the home side, but this time Smalling comes up with the block to prevent the cross from coming in.

McNair does well to prevent Welbeck from coming up with the cross. Mertesacker meets the corner, but heads wide of goal. Fellaini doing well to mark the big German.

Arsenal and Manchester United have met 190 times in the league (all divisions). Arsenal have won 67, Manchester United have won 79, with 44 draws.

Sanchez almost profits from hesitancy between Valencia and De Gea before the United goalkeeper drills clear the loose ball.

Shaw picks out Van Persie after a surging run, but the Dutch forward is just offside.

Neither of these teams are blessed with great defences today it must be said. Arsenal unbeaten at home in the Premier League for 15 months.

Danny Welbeck faces his former club for the first time since leaving for Arsenal in the summer. He played 92 Premier League matches for them scoring 20 goals.

United with three men at the back due to injuries. McNair, Smalling and Blackett at the back for the visiting side.

Almost ready to go in this contest. United to get the match off and running.
