With Arsenal beaten, Chelsea struggling, City divided and Spurs not the finished article, this could be a huge win in United's quest to regain the title. They are now 2 points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game (vs Blackpool) in hand.
- 94'
Far from a classic, but a crucial win for Man United who now have the exact number of points they had at this stage last season.

<b>Indeed, it is. The full-time whistle blows and Man United have beaten Arsenal 1-0 tonight.</b>
- 94'
Evra gets the ball away for United and that could be that.
- 93'
You get the impression Arsenal wouldn't score if we played for another hour.
- 92'
A deep cross by Van Persie is flicked on to Walcott, who volleys just over at the far post.
- 91'
We will have another 3 additional injury time minutes here...
- 90'
Arsenal trying to craft an opening but's not going to happen for them tonight. United have looked resolute and are squeezing any urgency out of Arsenal's approach play in the closing stages.
- 88'
Walcott, who has been bright since coming on, whips in an early Beckham-esque cross but Ferdinand does very well to flick it out of play.
- 87'
Another long ball for Rooney, this time by Giggs, causes trouble for Arsenal - but Koscielny is alert to the danger this time and heads back to Szczesny.
- 86'
Long ball from Rafael finds Rooney, who was behind the Arsenal defence. Rooney tries an audacious chip from 20 yards but Szczesny does well to palm the ball away. A rare moment of class tonight.

- 82'
United have got all their players behind the ball at the moment and Arsenal are struggling to break them down. United have done a great job of nullifying their key players.
- 81'
Nani and Fletcher combine well and Clichy is momentarily behind the play, but he sprints back into position and does well to get the ball out of danger.
- 80'
Arsenal win a free kick halfway inside the United half. Fabregas lofts it into the box but Chamakh's on target header is tame.
- 79'
Walcott is involved straight away and sidesteps Carrick far too easily from a United perspective. Walcott lets fly with a low effort from 25 yards but Van der Sar wasn't worried by that.
- 78'
Arsenal running out of time here. Final throw of the dice as Walcott comes on. He will inject some much needed pace to Arsenal's attacks in the last 12 minutes.
- 77'
<i>Stat:</i> Arsenal have given away a penalty in five of their their last eight Premier League trips to Old Trafford.

Arsenal are preparing Theo Walcott for their final change...

- 73'
<b>Wayne Rooney blasted that high over the bar and justice is done. Nani kicked the ball straight into Clichy's hand as he was already on the ground. Should never have been a penalty in the first place.</b>
- 73'
<b>Rooney's missed!</b>
