A nervous Maguire defense sees him knock Lacazette down on the edge of the area.

From the ensuing free kick, Lacazette hits the crossbar.

Moments later, Maguire can only direct a cross in the way of Smith-Rowe, who puts De Gea to the test with a powerful blow.

Close again for United!

Shaw bursts from the left and fires at Cavani, who deflects him widely from close range under pressure from Cedric.

He got to the Uruguayan pretty fast there, so he couldn’t adjust his feet to turn towards goal.

21 minutes ago

Willian has a low Bellerin cross.

However, the midfielder hesitates, allowing Wan-Bissaka to cross at full speed and make one last block.

Moments later, Willian finds Pepe with a setback, but Maguire does very well to block the first goal attempt.

So halftime, and it’s been a pretty disappointing 45 start.

Both sides have been cautious, although United seem a bit more dangerous.

Arsenal have had a couple of encouraging moments on counterattack, but defenses have been on top overall.

Moments later, Fernades is fouled on the edge of the area by Partey.

47 minutes ago

Very close to United!

Pogba plays through Fernandes, who beats David Luiz, before launching a wide-range shot from the edge of the area.

58 minutes ago

Pogba tries to play at Rashford with a high pass, but Martinelli recovers well to make an interception and head the ball for a corner.

At the other end, Smith-Rowe plays through Pepe, whose curly low shot goes wide.

5:58P.M

Xhaka gets a free header from a corner that forces De Gea to save.

Moments later, Pepe is shot down by Luke Shaw.

After a decent run from United, Arsenal are getting more into this game now.

5:54P.M

He starts and cuts across midfield too easily before shooting wide.

Meanwhile, McTominay moves cautiously after taking a hit and may have to let go.

5:51P.M

This game is coming alive now.

A corner fell into the hands of Fred, whose shot from the edge of the area was deflected thanks to a good save from Leno.

5:48P.M

Arsenal’s counterattack and Lacazette suddenly finds himself with a lot of space ahead.

However, the forward’s shot from the edge of the area is direct to De Gea.

5:45P.M

Cedric just got booked for a flying elbow while jumping for a header with Fernandes.

It’s still a pretty tepid start, with neither side looking particularly threatening.

5:38P.M

It’s been a pretty rough and low-key start to this game.

Neither party has created an opportunity yet.

With the exception of Tottenham’s win, United’s Premier League matches against the big Premier League teams this season have been generally quite tight and cautious.

4:50P.M

Confirmation of today’s teams …

4:44P.M

Hello and welcome to today’s live blog.

Both teams have certainly had turbulent times in their respective seasons, but they have similarly seen themselves somewhat rejuvenated of late.

United currently ranks second with 40 points, with the Gunners 10 points behind them in ninth.

Mikel Arteta’s team, which won the reverse game earlier in the season, will be determined to repeat that feat as they look to boost their top-four hopes.

And with the leaders at the table, Man City looking formidable as of late, it’s also vital for United to score three points to keep the pressure on their neighbors.
