Follow live updates as Manchester United host Arsenal in the biggest Premier League game of the weekend. The Gunners head to Old Trafford top of the table and with five wins from their first five games under Mikel Arteta. However, they face their biggest test of the season so far as they take on Erik ten Hag’s United – who appear to have turned a corner with three consecutive wins. Thursday’s win over Leicester came as United confirmed the €100m signing of Brazilian striker Anthony, who will make his full debut at Old Trafford today. Arsenal, meanwhile, were frustrated in their pursuit of Douglas Luiz and suddenly looked a little light in midfield – but Arteta was boosted by the availability of both Oleksandr Zinchenko and Martin Odegaard. Should Arsenal win, it would be only their second at Old Trafford since 2006 and would increase excitement around the Emirates for a potential title challenge.

Anthony’s debut goal for Manchester United. A moment he will never forget. Dylan Terry September 4, 2022 5:13 p.m 1662307963
Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal
43′: White’s cross finds Martinelli at the back post. It’s headed towards Odegaard, but it’s a couple of meters in front of the Arsenal captain and United clear it away. This relentless tension pauses for a moment as Rashford is treated to join Gabriel. A moment for Ten Haag and Arteta to reflect on this first half. It was exciting.

Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal
41 mins: Rashford drives into the Arsenal backline but fumbles at the crucial moment and White is able to clear him. Martinelli is then at the other end and suffers a similar mix up to Rashford, as clearly United. End to end stuff. Excellent intensity. Dylan Terry September 4, 2022 5:10 p.m 1662307737
Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal
39 mins: It was a very good advantage played by Paul Tierney to set up the goal. Fernandez was cleared by Gabriel but the referee allowed the move to continue as the ball found Sancho. And the rest is history. Meanwhile, Arsenal win the ball back and Saka shoots from the edge of the box. It takes two deflections but ends up in De Gea’s arms.

TARGET! Manchester United 1-0 Arsenal (Anthony, 35)
36 minutes: DEBUT GOAL FOR ANTONI! It’s a brilliant goal from Manchester United, who were under the water for the better part of 20 minutes. Eriksen plays a lovely pass to Fernandes, who takes it past Gabriel and finds Sancho. He feeds it to Antony who is in acres of space on the right side of the box and the former Ajax man sweeps it into the corner. Nice goal. Totally against the flow of the game.

Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal
33 mins: SAVE! Arsenal briefly probe the United penalty area before Odegard curls a superb cross at the back post for Martinelli. The Brazilian heads back towards De Gea, but the Spaniard equalises and acrobatically clears to deny Arsenal an early goal. Arsenal are playing United right now. Some great football being played by the visitors. They just need the goal as a reward for their efforts. Dylan Terry September 4, 2022 5:03 p.m 1662307305
Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal
31 mins: Great move from Arsenal as they work it all the way from Ramsdale to Jesus, to Odegaard and finally to Martinelli again. The Arsenal man stands up to Dalot and beats him before sending in a low cross that De Gea has to deflect at his near post for a corner. The corner is flicked on and ultimately fails, but there are some disappointing grumbles inside Old Trafford now. Everything is Arsenal. Manchester United just can’t get out of their own half.

Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal
28 mins: Lokonga goes hard on Fernandes. She is not the smartest of challenges as she scratches Fernandes’ calf. Almost certainly a yellow card, but it wasn’t spotted by the referee. Fernandez is fuming. When isn’t it? The rhythm goes out of play for a few moments. Dylan Terry September 4, 2022 4:59 p.m 1662306967
Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal
26 mins: Penalty appeal for Arsenal. Saka cuts inside and tries to beat the ball past Martinez. The Arsenal player goes down under pressure from the Argentine centre-back and there wasn’t enough contact to warrant a kick. YELLOW CARD. United make a breakthrough and Martinelli is cut down by Saliba. He becomes the first player to enter Paul Tierney’s book. Dylan Terry September 4, 2022 4:56 p.m 1662306846
Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal
Here is the disallowed goal. Right decision; Dylan Terry September 4, 2022 4:54 p.m
