Harry Maguire and Alexandre Lacazette are both down injured after clashing when going for a ball.

We're into injury time now and it looks like this one is going to end in a stalemate.

Gareth Southgate is in attendance and looks to be contemplating his life choices as he shivers away in the freezing cold.

Massive chance for Manchester United to snatch it late on as Edinson Cavani volleys a cross just wide from close range. So, so close.

Max J: Can we really say any of these players are passionate for their club. No urgency at all. Just having a friendly kickabout. Disappointing and hard to watch.

Phil, Andover: There is no plan B neither alternative of playing style for Man Utd, 4-2-3-1 all the way no matter who plays, predictable and boring.

... Cedric has a pop from the free kick but it fizzes over the bar.

A risky challenge by Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who is on a yellow, as he catches Willian right on the edge of the area and Arsenal have another free kick...

Nicolas Pepe tries to roll the ball into the far corner as the ball is worked to him on the right side of the box. Right idea but the effort is just wide.

Thomas Partey squanders possession and Marcus Rashford spots an opportunity but he hammers a shot into the sidenetting.

That's it for Rashford, too, as he is replaced by Mason Greenwood.

Tom, Stockport: Given up on a high scoring thriller. Let's just have one spectacular goal.

Tom Sharpe: Teams seem to be so slow at moving the ball in the final 3rd this season, with a couple of exceptions. It's really weird and makes for underwhelming games...like this.

Tony, Manchester: Can't understand reluctance of OGS to bring James on

... but David Luiz's effort from the free kick crashes into the wall.

Willian is wiped out by Paul Pogba as the Arsenal winger tried to cut inside. That was very late and Pogba is booked as a result.

The free kick is a poor one, though, and the opportunity is gone for Arsenal.

Andrew Morris: United have Chelsea's and Liverpool's curse. Just when they look like title challengers go completely off the boil and have a drop in form that's as sudden as it is inexplicable.

Dan, London: Considering they're playing against Ole's one and only tactic of throw all the attacking players on and hope for the best, Arsenal are starting to boss this.

CH, Warwick: Not the most exciting game, it has to be said. It's hard to see either of these two teams mounting a really convincing challenge to the likes of City any time soon.

Fred's shot deflects kindly to Anthony Martial inside the box and Arsenal look in a spot of bother before they are saved by the official's flag for offside.

This hasn't been a classic but there's been pockets of dominance for either side and Manchester United are enjoying their spell at the moment.
