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.

Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United, 23 minutes

That's a little better, but the option taking is poor again.

Juninho Bacuna capitalises on a Juan Mata error and goes past two, in the process eschewing two opportunities to play teammates in and eventually releasing a speculative effort that trickles wide of David de Gea's left-hand post.

Chelsea 0-0 Watford, 22 minutes

Uncharacteristic from Eden Hazard, and that is a good chance gone.

Jorginho frees him with a lovely pass but the Belgian miscontrols, failing to even release a shot and letting the chance dissipate.

Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United, 26 minutes

Alexis Sanchez looks a little more lively than in some of his recent outings, trying to threaten in behind and finding some success so far.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 May 2019 14:27

Scott McTominay gave Manchester United an early lead at the John Smith's Stadium.

Chelsea 0-0 Watford, 25 minutes

Watford continue to look dangerous at Stamford Bridge.

Abdoulaye Doucoure could perhaps do better with his effort after Troy Deeney and Roberto Pereyra combine well.

Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United, 29 minutes

There are spaces in the Manchester United defence, but Huddersfield have so far been largely unable to exploit them.

Paul Pogba concedes a free kick for a high boot in shooting position.

​Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United, 30 minutes

Deflected behind.

First Huddersfield corner. 50% of their goals have come from set pieces this season...

Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United, 31 minutes

But this one is safely headed away.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 May 2019 14:31

A stunning save from Kepa Arrizabalaga, displaying his athleticism to keep Chelsea on level terms.

Harry Latham-Coyle5 May 2019 14:32

Huddersfield 0-1 Manchester United, 33 minutes

Into Lee Mason's book goes Phil Jones as he slides in foolishly on the left.

Another chance for Huddersfield to deliver.
