Arsenal and Manchester United are currently locked in Premier League action at the Emirates.
Arsenal headed into the game knowing that a win on the day would see them climb above Tottenham into 4th for the time being, piling pressure on Spurs ahead of their late kick-off versus Brentford.
Man United, on the other hand, were aware that a loss to Arsenal would effectively end their chances of securing Champions League football for next term.
And, at the time of writing, it is Arsenal who are leading in the game thanks to an early strike from Nuno Tavares.
