At the minute I’d rather play against Lukaku because of the form of Rashford. They both have pace and power, but Marcus has more electrifying pace which is terrifying for defenders the older you get! You look at United now and Solskjaer might think ‘if I can get Rashford and Lukaku in the team and find the balance, could they work together?’ I think they could.

This has been a scrappy affair so far. Not much composure on the ball from either side and no opportunities...things can only get better?

Arsenal work a smart corner to the edge of the box but as Sead Kolasinac gets a shot away the referee spots some blocking in the area which prevented a United man from tracking him.

It's almost very quickly three for the hosts.

Famara Diedhou puts the ball in the back of the net after receiving Callum O'Dowda's pass but it's ruled out for offside.

Bristol City have their tails up and Bolton's early momentum has vanished.

More good play in the penalty area from the Arsenal attackers but again it falls apart with the final pass as this time Alexandre Lacazette passes straight to Sergio Romero in the United goal.

The intensity just needs to go up 10%...

What a ball from Jesse Lingard. I'm not sure Romelu Lukaku goes for it with any belief. Maybe it was just too far ahead of him.

And now a real chance at the other end! Jesse Lingard whips in a brilliant cross on the run from the right, it is just ahead of Romelu Lukaku, and just too high for Paul Pogba behind him!

Great, great ball in...

He could have squared that to Aubameyang. It was a great move, a burst of pace. Aubameyang had got himself into a great position.

That lengthy injury interruption has rather stemmed the momentum of the game. But here we go, a proper shot! Alexandre Lacazette sends Alex Iwobi in behind the defence witha fine early ball, Iwobi decides to shoot from a tight angle and it's comfortable for Sergio Romero.

Should he have passed that?

Raining goals in Bristol. We haven't even had a shot on target yet.

Sokratis looks really gutted to have to come off but he can hardly walk, never mind cover Romelu Lukaku.

Shkodran Mustafi is on in his place. World Cup winner but still somehow feels like a liability at times...

Who has impressed you in the first half so far? You can rate the players at any point during the match here.

Sokratis limps off, comes back on, and then signals to the bench that he'll have to come off.

It's the last thing they need. The partnership with Sokratis and Koscielny could be something great to work on. When there's not many people around you and this kind of thing happens it tends to be bad.

I'm no physio but Sokratis looks in a bit of strife here. There was a lot of man going through one joint when he landed there.

Shkodran Mustafi is sent out to warm up.

Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd

The Emirates looks pretty full now, and it's in decent voice too. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang plays a cracking ball down the right but Ainsley Maitland-Nils can't find a cross.

Worrying as Sokratis goes down holding his ankle after an awkward landing.

In my opinion Unai Emery is doing a fantastic job, he has got things moving in the right direction. This window looks uncertain but if he can get a couple of windows to do some business then he can get Arsenal heading in the right direction again

After a breathless opening period, the game is settling down at Ashton gate.

Bolton forward Josh Magennis tries his luck from the edge of the area but Robins goalkeeper Frank Fielding dives low to his right to stop that one.

It's a very open game!
