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.

Fernandinho

Fernandinho wins the ball from Manuel Lanzini and moves the ball to Raheem Sterling on the right wing. The Brazilian continues his run to the edge of the box where he receives the ball from Sterling and curls in with great conviction.

71: Yaya Toure comes on for Ilkay Gundogan. He's scored on his last two appearances at the London Stadium.

Man City are enjoying so much space on the right wing.

76: Off the line

Fernandinho gets in on the right hand side, Adrian comes to meet him but he lifts the ball to Gabriel Jesus. Meeting the ball in the air, Jesus diverts the ball to goal but Pablo Zabaleta is well placed to clear off the line.

78: It's a Premier League debut for 19 year old for German born Lukas Nmecha who joined Manchester City as a nine year old. He played against Leicester in the quarter final of the League Cup and scored a penalty in the shoot-out at the end. He replaced Gabriel Jesus.

Smithy's not happy

83: It's very weird at the London Stadium. West Ham have had around 25% of the ball this game, even less in the last 20 minutes, and the fans have seen enough. The empty seats are very clear to see and it's strangely quiet. If this was a boxing match the referee would have stopped it ages ago.

87: Leroy Sane draws a foul from Cheikhou Kouyate right on the edge of the area in a central position. Yaya Toure makes his case to take it and convinces Sane it's his. Toure shoots and the ball deflects off the wall and out for a corner.
