This week saw the release of the BBC's annual Price of Football study, looking at the cost of attending games across the Premier and Football League.

The headline from this year was undoubtedly that Forfar Athletic, in Scottish League Two, charge only £1.20 for a pie and 80p for a cup of tea.

Either that or the cost of attending Premier League football has come down in the first season of a record £8bn global TV rights deal.

Not my words - the words of Pep Guardiola. 

Former Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri may have claimed that Guardiola had imposed a ban on sex after midnight so players get "a good night's sleep" but the man himself has denied that. And had a right good laugh in the process.

Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has recovered from the knee injury that prompted his substitution at Liverpool. 

Sebastian Prodl is fit and Stefano Okaka should be available after a hamstring problem, but Jose Holebas will serve a one-match suspension. 

Leicester midfielder Danny Drinkwater pulled out of the England squad with a rib injury and will be assessed. 

Demarai Gray is a doubt because of a calf strain, while Kasper Schmeichel and Nampalys Mendy remain sidelined.

We should have team news in soon. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is banned for Manchester United so will we see Marcus Rashford up front? 

Sunderland forward Victor Anichebe is available to play despite suffering a cracked rib in the win at Bournemouth. 

Steven Pienaar serves a ban and Lee Cattermole is out for four months after surgery, while the game comes too soon for Jan Kirchhoff and Jack Rodwell. 

Hull will be without injured strikers Will Keane, Abel Hernandez and the suspended Adama Diomande. 

Shaun Maloney is out with a back problem, so teenage forward Jarrod Bowen could be involved.

Glenn Whelan is doubtful for Stoke after injuring his hamstring on international duty, while Geoff Cameron remains out with a knee problem. 

However, Marko Arnautovic and Xherdan Shaqiri return after missing the draw with West Ham because of suspension and injury respectively. 

Bournemouth may make late decisions on Callum Wilson and Andrew Surman, who are recovering from hamstring problems. 

Adam Smith serves a one-game ban after accumulating five yellow cards.

Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic is available to play despite breaking his nose while on international duty. 

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Fraser Forster are fit after knocks, but Cedric Soares, James Ward-Prowse, Ryan Bertrand and Shane Long are doubtful. 

Liverpool are assessing the fitness of Adam Lallana after he sustained an injury while playing for England. 

Philippe Coutinho is also a doubt with a hamstring problem but Dejan Lovren returns after recovering from a virus.

Arsene Wenger has lost on each previous occasion that he has faced a Manchester United manager for the first time in the Premier League (Ferguson in November 1996, Moyes in November 2013 and Van Gaal in November 2014).

Arsene Wenger has collected 1.58 points per Premier League game in November, his lowest rate in a month as a manager.

Full-back Leighton Baines is in the Everton squad for the first time since September after recovering from a hamstring injury. 

James McCarthy has also overcome a similar problem, while Idrissa Gueye is available after serving a one-match ban during the 5-0 defeat at Chelsea. 

Swansea winger Jefferson Montero could play with a protective cast on the hand he fractured against Manchester United.

Nathan Dyer is fit after ankle surgery and may be involved.

Crystal Palace goalkeeper Steve Mandanda will be out for a couple of weeks with a knee injury so Wayne Hennessey will be recalled on Saturday. 

Joe Ledley and Lee Chung-yong both face late fitness tests. 

Manchester City could welcome back Bacary Sagna, who has recovered from a hamstring problem, but Fabian Delph remains out with a groin injury. 

Vincent Kompany is available, with his withdrawal from international duty purely precautionary.

Leaders Liverpool face Southampton this afternoon, while a win for Arsenal will put the Gunners top. For the time being at least.

Arsenal fell out of the race with United and got less physical. I think Wenger feels he does have a team to wipe the smile off Mourinho's face. There is a sideshow between these two managers.

When United play at home they are a different team. They attack you down the middle. It will be a tight cagey affair.

Wayne Rooney has not had a great week.

But, he has scored 14 times in all competitions versus Arsenal during his career; only against Aston Villa (15) has he scored more often (also 14 vs Newcastle United).

Rooney scored his first ever Premier League goal (Oct 2002), his first Premier League goal for Man United (Oct 2004) and his 100th Premier League goal (Jan 2010) against the Gunners. He needs two goals to go level with Sir Bobby Charlton (249) as Manchester United's all-time top scorer (all competitions).

Or out late?

Get involved with the 5 live team at Old Trafford.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho says captain Wayne Rooney is likely to have found the criticism of him this week tough to deal with.

Rooney apologised over "inappropriate" pictures that emerged of him at a wedding at the England team hotel.

Mourinho said: "Even if you build a wall around you to protect you from what people write or think, it always has points of fragility.

"We are flesh and blood, so I think it has an effect."
