What time is it?
The game kicks off at 4:30pm on Sunday.
Where can I watch it?
The match is available to watch on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event. Coverage is set to get underway at 4:15pm.
It’s a big game for…
Arsene Wenger. The Frenchman is coming up against his long-term rivals Manchester United and Jose Mourinho so will be keen for a positive result in his swansong.
He has not won at Old Trafford in the Premier League for a run of ten consecutive games so a victory this weekend would be the perfect parting shot as he departs the Emirates Stadium.
The best stat…
The game between the two sides will see Wenger go up against the Red Devils for the 60th time in his career.
Throughout his time in the game, he has managed against no other side more than United. The next highest amount of games he has contested against a certain club is 59 with Chelsea.
Player to watch?
Alexis Sanchez. Who else would it be? The Chilean comes up against his former club for the first time since departing in January, and considering the circumstances that he departed the Emirates, he is sure to get a hostile reaction.
As a result, the former Barcelona man could well be more motivated to find the net. He has found a bit of form too, and just at the right time. He has had a hand in five goals in his last four games in all competitions with two strikes of his own and three assists.

Draw: 4/1
87: Chris Smalling needed all of his speed
Joe Willock slips the ball in behind the defence and sets up a chase between Danny Welbeck and Smalling. The Arsenal forward looks to be leading the charge but Smalling makes a good sliding tackle on the edge of the area.
89: Goal....offside
Anthony Martial cuts onto his right foot and delivers a ball to Marouane Fellaini who heads onto the post. Marcus Rashford then converts the rebound but did so from an offside position, which was the correct call. Fellaini should really have scored his header.
Manchester 2-1 Arsenal
Marouane Fellaini!!!
90+2: It's been coming. So many crosses from the left has been causing Arsenal problems and this time United finally find the net.
Ashley Young crosses from the left and Fellaini rises high in along with a group of Arsenal defenders and heads the ball off the back of his head and beyond David Ospina.
Manchester United clinch top-four finish
Marouane Fellaini's 92nd minute goal means that Manchester United will be competing with Europe's elite next season.
The result also confirms that Arsenal will finish outside the top four for just the second time during Arsene Wenger's 500 year reign at Arsenal. Oh, they're finishing below Tottenham too.
