Mikel Arteta is limping and he has to come off, Mathieu Flamini replaces the Arsenal midfielder.

Erik Lamela is the first player booked for Tottenham after bringing down Kieran Gibbs. That's three players now on a yellow with just under 30 minutes gone.

"Lovely football from Arsenal at the moment. Really slick interchanges. Danny Welbeck had a really decent, clean effort on target, but it was straight at the keeper.

"You just feel that Arsenal think this is their moment. They are right on top of Spurs, they have control, and I think it's only a matter of time. It's all about their speed of thought, the quality of their play and the speed of movement of the ball."

There is some lovely one-touch passing on show from Arsenal, but they've been lacking that bite in attack. That is until Jack Wilshere strikes a dipping effort from outside the box after being teed up by Danny Welbeck, but Hugo Lloris is behind the shot.

Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock: "We said at half-time we were a bit nervous in the first half. I thought the wide men could win it for us and that proved the case.

"We keep our feet on the floor. There is nobody getting carried away. Three points in the Premier League is very important.

"We have come on a long way in the last few weeks."

Leicester manager Nigel Pearson: "It is disappointing to lose to two set-plays. The fashion in which we conceded the momentum was disappointing. I thought we started well and created chances but were unable to make anything of them.

"We were under par in the second half. You have to give them credit, though. They defended with intelligence. But ultimately we had to come up with ways to break them down and couldn't find that edge."

Another yellow card for Arsenal, this time going to Jack Wilshere after his late challenge on Ryan Mason. From the resulting free-kick, Emmanuel Adebayor just fails to make a telling connection, as his header is straight at Wojciech Szczesny.

Swansea manager Garry Monk: "It was definitely a good point the way the game panned out and going down to 10 men.

"We showed character in adversity and I thought the boys defended admirably and we deserved a point. They had a couple of headers and when we were down to 10 men threw a lot forward but apart from that we limited them to hardly anything.

"We weren't as fluid as we have been but there will be games like that and then you have to do the basics right."

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's pace sees him get the better of Danny Rose and he sends a deep cross into the area from the right which is picked up by Danny Welbeck, who works himself a bit of an opening and shoots low from the edge of the area, but Hugo Lloris is behind the shot and scoops up the ball.

Wale Ibraheem:, external Spurs need to be more clinical in the final third. They could have hit Arsenal on the counter with the right passes.

Arsenal are seeing plenty of the ball but not really making it count, highlighted by a Mesut Ozil corner into the area failing to find a red and white shirt and Tottenham clear easily. Spurs are defending quite well and have shown glimpses of being dangerous on the break. Tense affair.

"Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino is fired up for this. Stalking the touchline constantly and has already been involved in a couple of heated exchanges with the fourth official. The message to his own team seems to be not to drop too deep and invite Arsenal pressure - seems reasonable."

Great stuff from Danny Welbeck as he flicks the ball past Jan Vertonghen and drives towards goal. He has no support, though, and has to have a crack at goal, but Younes Kaboul is back to make the crucial block.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is the first player to go into the referee's book after bringing down Etienne Capoue after Spurs had broken away. Nothing malicious, but a definite yellow.

Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany:, external Great game of football ... again. We're on track now. AS Roma on Tuesday!

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw:, external What an unbelievable experience making my debut for the club and more importantly getting all three points.

Boos ring out as Emmanuel Adebayor gets the ball for the first time in the game but he is quickly crowded out before Kieran Gibbs is fouled by Erik Lamela.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal on Wayne Rooney's red card: "It was a break-out of a set-play of ours and he makes a professional foul I think you can call it like that. I don't think Wayne wanted to do it that way but he did it and you can give a red card.

"Luke Shaw was always injured but now I could play with him for 90 minutes. He had a little cramp and it was amazing he lasted 90 minutes. Also, Paddy McNair played a very good match and I'm very pleased for him that we won.

"The rhythm of the game is very high. You cannot compare it with Germany and Spain. There is always pressure on the ball. Most of the English teams play physically. We have to keep the ball more easily and then we can improve our play."

"On my walk up here to the stadium this afternoon, a lot of Arsenal fans were already out in force, filling the pubs and getting ready to support their team, in the hope that once again they will leave this north London derby with the bragging rights."

Danger for Tottenham as Danny Welbeck steals possession midway inside the away team's half, Jack Wilshere then races away with the ball before feeding a pass to Aaron Ramsey on the right side of the area, but the midfielder drives a low effort straight at Hugo Lloris.
