Manchester United host Arsenal in their Premier League clash at Old Trafford with Arsene Wenger already under real pressure at the start of an already faltering campaign.

Arsenal indulge in some intricate passing in and around the United box that results in Walcott dragging a poor shot wide of the post. Robin van Persie should have shot earlier in the move but took a touch too many.

Cleverley gets a talking to from referee Howard Webb after a clumsy challenge on Aaron Ramsey in the centre of the pitch.

Walcott concedes possession to Evra on the right and United find Welbeck, who tries to square for Young. His run into the box is blocked off by Francis Coquelin and Rooney goes to ground, but it was a good piece of work by the Arsenal man.

Andrei Arshavin attempts to play in Theo Walcott through the centre but his pass has too much on it, even for the lightning-quick winger.

The first good opening of the game. Welbeck runs off Laurent Koscielny to meet a through-ball from Ashley Young and fires his shot across goal and wide.

Nani jinks inside Traore all too easily but his cross for Rooney is too high for the striker, despite his quite prodigious leap near the penalty spot.

Carl Jenkinson tries an effort from 30 yards which is blocked. It's a big game for the man signed from Charlton this summer. He looked decent against Udinese in midweek.

Now Rooney has hit first shot of the afternoon but Szczesny is equal to his drive from 25 yards. Arsenal are already under pressure, as expected.

Phil Jones comes marauding forward, as is his wont, and finds Rooney. United turn back and buld from the back again and threaten to open up Arsenal for a second before Johan Djourou clears.

Wayne Rooney muscles his way past Armand Traore on the right and pulls the ball back for Tom Cleverley, who sends a curling effort wide of the post.

Well they haven't conceded yet, so it's not too bad for Arsenal.

Inside 30 seconds and Wojciech Szczesny is closed down by Danny Welbeck when trying to clear. Luckily it's only a goal kick as it comes off the United forward last.

KICK OFF!

Right then, a repeat of that famous 6-1 in 2001, or perhaps Arsenal's most defiant performance in recent memory? Either way, this should be pretty special...

Pre-match odds: Manchester United (1.50), Arsenal (6.00) and the draw (4.33)... Stat: Arsenal have taken 13 points from their last 13 games - the worst run under Wenger. The last time the Gunners had a worse run was in 1995.

What do you make of the two teams? Injuries to Abou Diaby and Jack Wilshere and the departure of Denilson on loan have seen options in central midfield diminish sharply. This has not been helped by the recklessness of Arsenal's only two defensive midfielders, Alex Song and Emmanuel Frimpong, who have both picked up suspensions that rule them out of the trip.

TEAMS: Man Utd: De Gea, Smalling, Jones, Evans, Evra, Nani, Cleverley, Anderson, Young, Rooney, Welbeck. Subs: Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Berbatov, Giggs, Park, Hernandez, Fabio Da Silva /// Arsenal: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Djourou, Koscielny, Traore, Ramsey, Coquelin, Rosicky, Walcott, van Persie, Arshavin. Subs: Fabianski, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chamakh, Lansbury, Miquel, Ozyakup, Sunu

While United spent £50 million to bring in David de Gea, Phil Jones and Ashley Young, Arsenal lost two of their star names - Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri - and are now left in a situation that sees them short of players just a few days before the transfer window slams shut. It looks set to be a very depleted side which Wenger names to run out today...

For fans of video previews for huge Premier League matches, you are in for a treat...

But aside from questioning Arsenal's trophy drought, Sir Alex Ferguson has also savaged Arsene Wenger's critics: "I would like to know who is going to replace him. The work he has done in the 15 years he has been at the club is the best in Arsenal's history. Yes, he has not won a trophy for six years but what does that mean? The quality of his side has not been reduced."
