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.

Fan #1: "What do you think will happen at the game today?"
Fan #2: "I have absolutely no idea, anything could happen it's an open game. But obviously Granit Xhaka will get booked."
Yep it's happened, Granit Xhaka picks up his tenth yellow card of the season as he brings down Jesse Lingard.
26: The Arsenal youngsters are playing with good character and Ainsley Maitland-Niles is picking out some particularly good passes. His latest pass to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gives the forward a chance to shoot but he dwells on the ball in the box and gets dispossessed.
30: Henrikh Mkhitaryan plays himself into trouble and has Ashley Young for company in his own box. The Arsenal man's luck is in and he wins a foul, much to Young's bemusement.
35: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang goes close!
Hector Bellerin drives forward on the right and lifts a cross to Aubameyang in the middle. The forward is unmarked and tries to cushion the ball in from close range but his effort is straight at David De Gea.
37: Manchester United's build up play is so slow, "United not overly bothered about searching for the second, it seem," says former Arsenal forward Alan Smith on Sky Sports.
The home side have a chance to break forward and drive at Arsenal who had committed players forward, but a slower build up play is what they opt for. Old Trafford collectively groans.
Pogba's goal
Paul Pogba is on hand to turn the ball in after Alexis Sanchez hits the post
41: Post!
Ashley Young appears to mis-hit a cross which clips the front post. I'm not sure David Ospina had all his angles covered there.
"Maybe with a new era that lack of accountability will stop." Former Arsenal man Alan Smith is very critical of Granit Xhaka who failed to track Paul Pogba when he opened the scoring.
