Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of Saturday's Premier League action, starting with Manchester United vs Arsenal.
Jose Mourinho and Arsène Wenger renew hostilities at Old Trafford today, with sparks expected to fly in one of the top-flight's most iconic fixtures.
Kick-off is at 12.30pm. Stay with us for build-up and team news...
It's been a difficult month for Luke Shaw but could he return to the side today?
Arsenal have made Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus their ‘plan B’ should winger Alexis Sanchez fail to agree a new deal with the club.
United will be desperate to win on home turf today to cut the deficit to Arsenal to three points. Nonetheless, the visitors will be hoping to continue their fine run of form and leave today's early kick off with not just the points, but bragging rights too.
The home side enter the bout with their top scorer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, serving a ban which will be music to the ears of the travelling fans. Rooney is set to return after missing the mid-week international fixture with a knee injury, so there's hope United's attacking force, yet.
This uncontested rivalry is the perfect way to start a Saturday that is packed with fixtures.
I don't think I need to tell you to stay tuned for this one, i think it goes without say...
Man United began the battle earlier this week with this Twitter post to remind the Arsenal side of a recent result. Will this be repeated today? We'll see.
With just two points between the top four, it's all to play for at the top of the table. With United only securing one win in their last five, they enter the bout with a reputation to redeem and a rivalry to risk.
Arsenal, however, have seven wins in their last nine and they will be hoping to close the gap at the top, as they currently sit in fourth. But, it's renowned that Arsenal usually bring out the best in United and the best in Mourinho. It's anyone's game.
There's just under an hour until kick-off now.
Team news coming...
Mourinho v Wenger...
Played: 11

Will Wenger's curse against Mourinho continue, or is today is the day that the Arsenal boss redeems boasting rights against his arch nemesis? We'll see.
