Manchester United vs Arsenal live early team news, how to watch and goal and score updates

Following Chelsea’s dramatic win over Nottingham Forest last night and Newcastle United’s 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion earlier in the day, United are now three points behind both clubs in the race for European qualification.

Chelsea have capitalized on United’s woes in recent weeks, winning each of their last three games, scoring 10 goals in the process. Nobody would have predicted that Chelsea would finish above the Reds just a few weeks ago.
