Events
Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Old Trafford will turn into a battlefield for Manchester United FC and Arsenal FC.
- 5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 10' The 25-year-old William Saliba has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 15' Manchester United FC is showing some good football. However, Manchester United FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Manchester United FC that had 412 games and scored 680 goals.
- 21' Goal! Leandro Trossard scores his 92 goal in 321 matches.
- 26' It looks surprising Arsenal FC does not make any changes. Scott McTominay has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.

- 36' The travelling Arsenal FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 41' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 46' With 0 assists to his name this season, Jakub Kiwior is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Arsenal FC.
- 51' Sofyan Amrabat is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Manchester United FC so far.
- 56' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 61' Bukayo Saka has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 34 cards already picked up this season.
- 66' A change in the Arsenal FC ranks — Leandro Trossard exits the field as Martinelli enters on 66.
- 70' Another change for Manchester United FC made on 70 minute. Amad Diallo leaves to be changed by Antony.
- 71' That looks like a foul for a card for Bukayo Saka.
- 75' Jonny Evans makes way for Willy Kambwala at the 75 minute mark. A tactical switch from Manchester United FC.
- 80' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 82' The Arsenal FC manager makes a substitution. Bukayo Saka departs to be replaced by Gabriel Jesus.
- 87' Christian Eriksen gets the nod from Manchester United FC. He replaces Sofyan Amrabat and will look to change the dynamic.
- 88' Another change for Manchester United FC made on 88 minute. Rasmus Hojlund leaves to be changed by Ethan Wheatley.
- 90' That looks like a foul for a card for David Raya.
- 90' The Arsenal FC manager makes a substitution. Thomas Partey departs to be replaced by Jorginho.
- That’s it! Another goalless match for Manchester United FC and Arsenal FC (для сухой ничьи).
