Arsene Wenger will manage what is likely to be his last game against Manchester United as Arsenal manager on Sunday afternoon.

The Frenchman will make his final trip to Old Trafford as Gunners boss so will be keen to claim the victory against his old nemesis.

Jose Mourinho however will also be looking for United to snatch the three points as they look to secure second-place in the table.

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.

Form guide…

Manchester United: WWWLWW (all comps)

Arsenal: WWDLWD (all comps)

Odds…

Manchester United: 47/100

Arsenal: 8/1

Draw: 4/1

32: There's a concern for Cheikhou Kouyate who clashes heads with Aymeric Laporte then hits the ground in worrying fashion. After a long spell with the physios he is helped back onto this feet and then returns to the game. I must say, I'm a little surprised he's carrying on.

34: It should be 3-0

Declan Rice has the ball pinched off him by Gabriel Jesus who is racing away from Patrice Evra but the veteran full back does really well to match him and dispossess the forward. The ball breaks to Leroy Sane who then tries to go round Adrian but can't get the ball out of his feet, and West Ham survive.

37: Manuel Lanzini takes advantage of some rare space in the City half and is racing towards goal but it abruptly stopped in his tracks by Nicolas Otamendi who fouls the forward and picks up the game's first yellow card.

39: West Ham have the ball in the net

Ederson receives a back pass then tries to shift the ball past Marko Arnautovic and get dispossessed! Arnautovic nudges the goalkeeper to the ground then puts the ball into an empty net but a foul is given on the goalkeeper, harsh that.

West Ham 1-2 Manchester City

Aaron Cresswell

West Ham should have had a penalty when Ilkay Gundogan fouls Edimilson Fernandes inside the box, but the referee judges that contact was made outside the area. Anyway, after complaining about the decision, Aaron Cresswell lines up a free kick on the right corner of the area and curls the ball into the back of the net. Great finish and the London Stadium has woken up.

Gary Neville on Sky Sports: "they're a lot happier, the game was drifting away from David Moyes and his men."

45+2: Adrian beats away Raheem Sterling's effort from range and West Ham clear. It's getting very frantic as we head into four minutes of added time.

45+3: City should really be down to ten men

Manuel Lanzini embarks on another of his runs and draws another foul from Nicolas Otamendi. The referee gives a foul and is surrounded by West Ham protests as he opts to not show a second yellow.
