Minute-by-minute report: Can the Gunners breathe new life into their fading title bid at Old Trafford? Find out with Barry Glendenning from 4pm
Pre-match reading

"Anything might still be possibly mathematically, but were Arsenal to lift themselves after the drama and despair of Europe to take three points at old Trafford this afternoon it would count as their most miraculous achievement of the season. Actually never mind this season,. It would be a miracle of biblical proportions. And Arsene Wenger would be the new Charlton Heston," wrote Paul Wilson in this morning's Observer, saving me the job of having to say much the same thing in this afternoon's minute-by-minute report.

Meanwhile last Friday, Mr Rob Smyth took guardian.co.uk/football readers on a trip down memory lane, recalling half-a-dozen of the more exciting Arsenal v Manchester United encounters in The Joy of Six. If searing, insightful comment and nostalgia aren't your particular cup of tea, you can always sign up for the Fiver, our free, unfunny and habitually tardy football email and/or listen to our Sony Award-nominated (no, really) podcast Football Weekly instead.

Barry will be back at around 3.30pm.
