17:15 GMT: Manchester United vs Arsenal preview
On Thursday, Manchester United host Arsenal in the Premier League in a game in which both teams will be desperate to get the points. Arsenal are on a good run of form and making an assault on the top four, while United's players will be keen to impress Ralf Rangnick, who will be watching on while he awaits his visa confirmation.
The hosts have just one win in their last five Premier League games and sit in eighth place, with only three points more than Leeds United in 15th. Caretaker boss Michael Carrick did manage to achieve good results at the Estadio de la Ceramica and Stamford Bridge, though, so, together with Rangnick's impending arrival, there is a renewed feelgood factor about the club.
Arsenal, meanwhile, are definitely on the up with four wins in their last five league fixtures and are only five points behind third-placed Liverpool and seven off top-of-the table Chelsea.
