Save!

Fraser Forster is drawn into action, diving low to push away a curling shot from Gabriel Martinelli from the edge of the box.

The pull-back from Broja was better than I initially thought. Mohamed Elyounoussi actually made a bit of contact on it and could easily have scored.

The smell of flares from the protest outside Old Trafford are noticeable inside the ground as Anthony Elanga's ambitious attempts lands in the arms of Tim Krul. Then Cristiano Ronaldo lines up a shot from outside the box.

Chances at both ends in what has been a frantic start.

Arsenal have started pretty well, but they almost concede the first goal.

Armando Broja muscles his way in from the left and fires a low cross right across the face of goal. Just needed a touch.

Wow!

Norwich almost score from their first attack as Teemu Pukki races into the United box but David de Gea is off his line to block.

A huge scare for the hosts.

Granit Xhaka firmly back in that more familiar midfield role this afternoon. It really did not work with him at left-back.

Arsenal win the first corner of the game. They take it short and work it to Bukayo Saka on the edge of the box but his effort is blocked.

Ten Norwich players behind the ball as Manchester United make all the early running. This is a rare opportunity for Jesse Lingard and he is involved in the first move which Tim Krul gathers.

Tackles already flying in at Vicarage Road. At the very least, Watford need to show some serious commitment to the fight this afternoon.

This is the first of five away games Arsenal have left this season. It's a tough one too. The Saints have been on a stinking run of late, but they are a dangerous opponent.

There are plenty of empty plastic red seats inside Old Trafford at kick-off as fans continue to protest outside the ground.

Tottenham have left the door open for Arsenal and Man Utd. Can they take advantage? Meanwhile, at the bottom, Watford need a miracle.

The day's three 3pm games in the Premier League are under way.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte talking to BT Sport: A difffcult game, we knew this. I had seen them against Arsenal and we knew what could happen tactically. It was tactical game.

I think a draw would have been the more fair final result, but Brighton won the game, so they deserved to win.

We started very slowly and in this type of game you have to move the ball more quickly. Maybe the weather... I want to find an excuse, but it was not a good game for us.

Lawro's prediction: 1-2

Brentford are on a roll now, with four wins out of their past five games.

I don't know what is going to happen with Christian Eriksen because I am reading how all sorts of teams want to buy him in the summer, but he has arguably been the signing of the season and I'd love it if the Bees could find a way to keep him.

Watford, in contrast, have lost four of their previous five games. Usually, when you look at teams trying to stay up, you point to their home form being crucial but the Hornets have a dreadful record at Vicarage Road, and I don't think it will improve on Saturday.

Joe's prediction: Apologies to [Hornets fan] Elton John, but Watford are done this season. Brentford have got momentum, and they have got Eriksen too. 0-1.

• Watford have lost their past two league games against Brentford, as many as they had in their previous 16 (W9 D5). They last lost more consecutive matches against the Bees between 1929 and 1931 (5).
• Brentford are looking to complete their first league double over Watford since 1976-77 in the fourth tier. However, they’re winless in their past seven league visits to Vicarage Road (D2 L5).
• The Hornets have suffered 12 home Premier League defeats this season, with every other top-flight team to lose 12 or more such games in a single season going on to be relegated (20 previous occasions). Only 32% of their points this season have come at home (7/22), the lowest percentage by a team in an English top-flight season in history.
• Ivan Toney has been involved in 10 goals in his past eight Premier League appearances (eight goals, two assists), with only Spurs duo Harry Kane (15) and Son Heung-Min (13) involved in more goals in 2022 so far.

This wasn’t the sort of record-breaking season we wanted.

In losing to Leeds on Saturday, Watford equalled their record of nine straight home defeats, previously set in 1971-72.

The Hornets won at the 10th time of asking during that campaign, but there can be precious few Watford fans who don’t expect that record to be broken next week against Brentford.

Watford’s home form, particularly the performances against teams in and around the relegation battle, has been abject and these capitulations are the reason the Hornets will be playing Championship football again next season.

With a few exceptions, the campaign has provided little cause for optimism, and even the most hopeful of Hornets will have had their dreams of a miracle escape well and truly shattered on Saturday afternoon.

The focus now has turned to assessing what sort of squad we’ll have next season and, of course, who will lead them. It’s pretty grim at Vicarage Road, but at least things are never dull.

Do you think Watford can still survive or have you given up hope? Let us know

Roy Hodgson has admitted he hasn't had the impact he hoped and expected to have at Watford.

Since his arrival as boss, the Hornets have lost seven of their 11 games and sit six points from safety.

Reflecting on his time at the club so far, Hodgson said: "I've enjoyed it, there's no doubt about that.

"I'm disappointed because when Gino (Pozzo) and Scott (Duxbury) asked me to come with Ray [Lewington] I honestly thought we could make a difference and maybe we could help the club out and get the results which had been missing up to that point.

"But unfortunately we've failed in that respect because we haven't been able to do that. The results are still not what we want them to be. We're still not taking enough points and we're still in the bottom three.

"I certainly haven't enjoyed that aspect of it.

"We've been given all the support that we need to try to help the team win games.

"The set-up is quite outstanding: the training ground, everything around the training ground, the medical facilities.

"An awful lot around Watford Football Club I think is very, very good and Ray and I have benefited from all of the support that we think we would need to try to get this team to get results and pull away from the relegation zone.

"But we've not succeeded in doing so."

Dumped out of the FA Cup and outplayed in the Premier League, Southampton’s lofty hopes of a trip to Wembley and a top-half finish have quickly unravelled in the last month.

Although there is no shame in the first of those ambitions fading at the hands of Manchester City, the second has slipped away at an alarming rate.

Sat in ninth place after victory over Norwich at the end of February, six points clear of Crystal Palace two places behind, the Eagles have now flown above them in the standings – as well as many others.

Saints are currently 14th, having lost four of their last five. Their purple patch between mid-December and late February means they are still just a point off the top 10, but have shown few signs of making up the small difference.

Losing their way before the international break, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side broke their recent run of defeats with a draw against a resurgent Leeds, but Saturday’s 6-0 defeat by Chelsea shows Saints may be entering the infamous ‘holiday’ period of the season.

Safe from relegation, there is a need to prove to the fans there is something to turn up for with a better showing on Saturday against an Arsenal side conveying signs of weakness.

However, a campaign petering out with safety already secured is nothing to be ashamed of, especially after numerous seasons of uncertainty at this stage.

Lots of red flares during the protest march outside Old Trafford.

Supporters group "The 1958" organised the march before the match with Norwich.

They want fans to stay outside the ground for the first 17 minutes to protest at the 17 year ownership of the Glazers.

Lawro's prediction: 1-1

Southampton have lost five of their past six games in all competitions but, with three defeats out of four, Arsenal are having a wobble as well.

The Gunners are without Thomas Partey as well as Kieran Tierney and they are really missing the pair of them. I don't look at them and think they are going to go to St Mary's and win.

Joe's prediction: Southampton is the game I look forward to watching most on Match of the Day because it seems as if they either always concede six goals, or James Ward-Prowse scores another worldy. Arsenal have taken a bit of a battering recently but I think we might see a reaction from there here. 0-1.
