There are just five minutes until we kick-off at Old Trafford and White Hart Lane...Giant foam fingers at the ready!

A worry for Tottenham ahead of kick-off as Dele Alli pulls up injured after taking a shot in the warm-up at White Hart Lane. After a lengthy spell of treatment, however, the midfielder is ruled fit to start. That could well be a situation to monitor.

KICK-OFF: Arsenal, in their changed strip of yellow and blue, colours won in some famous fixtures against Manchester United at Old Trafford, get the afternoon off and running by attacking the Stretford End. The Gunners may never have a better opportunity of defeating their old foes on their own turf, they may never have a better opportunity of claiming another Premier League title.They are also up and away at White Hart Lane.

3 mins: Tottenham 0 Swansea 0: It's goalless at White Hart Lane, but only due to an incredible save from Hugo Lloris! Alberto Paloschi burst down the right wing in the opening seconds, eventually pulling a square ball back for the arriving Gylfi Sigurdsson. Ten yards out, the Icelandic international thought he had opened the scoring against his former club as he blasted high towards the roof of the net, but somehow the Spurs captain and keeper managed to divert over at point blank range.

5 mins: Tottenham 0 Swansea 0: And now a big moment at the other end for Erik Lamela! Harry Kane, closely-monitored by four Swansea defenders in the penalty box, worked the ball left to Danny Rose. The defender, in turn, played a first-time delivery low towards the six-yard box where the Argentine flicked a half-volley over the bar.

8 mins: Manchester United 0 Arsenal 0: A point blank save at Old Trafford now as David de Gea blocks a shot from an unmarked Nacho Monreal, yes, Nacho Monreal in the area. The defender had burst forward to control Mesut Ozil's brilliant pass, but the United goalkeeper was out so quickly to deny what would have been a surprise goalscorer if not a surprise goal. Arsenal have been well on top since the start.

9 mins: Manchester United 0 Arsenal 0: This fixture is no strange to a card, and it has taken just nine minutes for referee Craig Pawson to flash yellow. The official has booked United defender Guillermo Varela for hauling down Alexis Sanchez on the near touchline.

13 mins: Manchester United 0 Arsenal 0: A first burst from Marcus Rashford as the forward bursts in from the left between Gabriel and Hector Bellerin, only for the former to bring the youngster down. Rashford ends up flat on the turf inside the area, but Craig Pawson correctly awards the foul outside the box, and from the free-kick, Memphis Depay swings in a low shot that Petr Cech does well to hold on too.

19 mins: GOAL! TOTTENHAM 0 SWANSEA 1:

Swansea lead at White Hart Lane! A combination of neat football and a slice of luck has brought a goal for Alberto Paloschi that will be celebrated as loudly in Leicester and at Old Trafford and Wembley as it is by the visiting fans in North London. Gylfi Sigurdsson worked a short corner on the right to Angel Rangel, the full-back exchanged passes with Leon Britton, and lined up a shot from the edge of the box. Rangel only succeeded, however, in thumping his effort against the ankles of teammate Jack Cork, but that allowed the ball to sit up nicely for the alert Paloschi, who steered a first time drive into the roof of Hugo Lloris' net. 

Swansea shock Spurs.

22 mins: Manchester United 0 Arsenal 0: News of that goal has Arsenal fans cheering momentarily, but such smiles have faded back to nervous grins. They're watching their side dominate possession of the football but, save for that early opening for Monreal, have yet to find a way beyond a very deep makeshift Manchester United backline. Alexis Sanchez and Ozil have attempted to work crosses into the box, but Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind have so far stood up to the task at hand.
