Unai Emery not taking anything for granted after Arsenal beat Valencia

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Follow latest live coverage as Arsenal host Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League.

The Gunners need a response after defeat to Crystal Palace a week ago but will be boosted by Tottenham's loss to Bournemouth on Saturday as well as their own victory over Valencia in the Europa League semi-finals on Thursday. They got the perfect start as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored from the spot after Nacho Monreal was fouled in the box.

Solly March's fine run down the left sees him dash into the box and Granit Xhaka tugs him back to concede a penalty. Glenn Murray calmly slots home to draw Brighton level.

With a three-point gap between themselves and Tottenham in fourth, who hold a superior goal difference, their route to the Champions League looks to be purely down to winning the Europa League.

We'll have all the latest throughout the afternoon here.

Righty-ho, then. Ten minutes until kick-off.

We are inside the last fifteen games of the Premier League season. Where has the time gone?

Just about ready to go at the John Smith's Stadium and Stamford Bridge.

Wins for Manchester United and Chelsea?

An emotional day for outgoing Huddersfield owner Dean Hoyle with the news of his sale of the club confirmed this week.

He'll be maintaining a minority stake in the club, but this will mark the final home game of his tenure of owner. And it has been quite the tenure, taking the club into the Premier League for the first time.

He'll be looking on proudly today from the posh seats.

Huddersfield 0-0 Manchester United, 2 minutes

Manchester United have begun with a front three, Juan Mata and Alexis Sanchez up alongside Marcus Rashford on the right and left respectively.

Huddersfield have matched them with Alex Pritchard and Isaac Mbenza providing the width. 

The home fans chant Dean Hoyle's name.

A relatively quiet start at Stamford Bridge, with a bit of an end of season feel to this fixture.
