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

Alex Oxlade Chamberlain made his Premier League debut against United, in Arsenal’s 8-2 loss on 28 August 2011.

BIRTHDAY: Chris Smalling and Marouane Fellaini both celebrate birthdays today – Smalling turns 25 and Fellaini 27.

Star-spotters may be interested to note that Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are at the match tonight. Insert your own joke here...

As you might expect, there's already been some, shall we say, fiery reaction on social media to that United backline. Should be an interesting evening either way.
