Arsenal Vs. Manchester United: Game Underway At the Emirates

The game is underway at the Emirates, with Manchester United in black against the white and red of Arsenal. United, of course, are in fairly good form, having comfortably dispatched Schalke 04 in the Champions League semi-finals in midweek, while Arsenal are less so. They're also having to go without captain Cesc Fabregas, which is going to put a major crimp on their usual midfield dominance. Not that that's stopped them in the early going, with the hosts well and truly ascendent so far.

Jack Wilshere started a lovely incisive move and and very nearly finished it too after the ball was worked to Theo Walcott on the right, and even though the winger's cross was cut out by Nemanja Vidic the Serbian's clearance was scuffed to Wilshere on the edge of the box. The Premier League Young Player of the Year took a touch and then contrived to shoot well wide, wasting an immensely promising opportunity.
