Possession
Great credit must go to Arsenal today for their performance - but the real winners are Manchester United.
And that's it! Manchester United are Premier League champions!
30 seconds to go of the three
And United waste time with a change. Wayne Rooney goes off to a huge ovation, and on comes Anderson
Fabregas takes, Rooney heads away and ref Mike Dean spots a foul in the area. That must be it
He does smash it, it flicks Carrick and behind for a corner
It will be Van Persie to smash it?
Free-kick to Arsenal, just outside the area on the right. Now then, now then. Two minutes to go
Last 5 meetings
Possession
Three minutes injury time to be played - three minutes to the title
United happy to play the ball around the back four when they can, almost there
It's headed away and United survice again. Then Van Persie takes a shot on - straight at Van der Sar
Foul by Evans 40 yards from goal. Danger again
United fans are finally finding some voice now, nerves starting to fade with glory in sight
Ronaldo is there in his own six-yard box to head away the corner
Room opens up for Franregas, it's a superb opening for the Spaniard but Van der Sar just gets fingertips to it, and it hits the outside of the post and behind for a corner
United dropping deeper and deeper
And now we have glorious sunshine again...
Sagna needs a little bit of treatment after sliding into an ad board after chasing with Rooney. He's fine though.
Toure's deep cross from the right is so bad it's beyond belief
Ten minutes to go and United have not forced a save out of Fabianski.
He hits it: it loops, bends, twists and turns and just goes wide of the right hand post. Fabianski was rooted and had no chance
Giggs is there too, but surely it will be the Portuguese star to try and win the title
Song bundles over Ronaldo, just outside the area on the left corner. Chance, and a card for Song
A final change for Arsenal. Gibbs has picked up a knock and will be replaced by Emmanuel Eboue
It looks like United have "parked the bus"
Brilliant defending by Vidic, blocks out Van Persie and then makes sure the ball does not go out for a corner
I'm starting to fancy Arsenal for a winner - United just keep giving the ball away
United have offered so little in this second half, it's been a very odd performance. Can Arsenal be party poopers?
It's in! Park scores! But no, the flag is up for offside. Ronaldo was flagged off before the flag went up. TV replays suggest Arsenal are very, very lucky.
Arsenal are on top at the moment. Maybe the nerves are starting to set in for United?
It's raining again. There's a song about that
Two changes for Arsenal: Theo Walcott and Nicklas Bendtner are on for Samir Nasri and Andrei Arshavin
Long ball for Ronaldo, but even Usain Bolt can't make him quick enough to get onto that one
Intriguingly, Tevez waves good bye to all four sides of Old Trafford. Is this good bye for good or just the season? No doubt there's plenty more to be said on that one
And now comes the change, Carlos Tevez to be replaced by Ji-Sung Park. And the Old Trafford crowd boo roundly.
You feel if United can open the door just once, then the championship is done and dusted
Park is about to be introduced by United
Arsenal back in the "keep ball" game
Van Persie smashed it - Carrick shoves his head in the way of the power drive and looks a little dazed.
Van Persie lines up right on the angle of the area
Handball against Evra over on the right, another chance to cross
30 minutes to the title
Tevez does brilliantly to turn Toure in the area, it looks like a goal for the little man but Fabianski makes the right decision to come out and challenge - Tevez stayed on his feet rather than go down and Arsenal eventually snuff out what was almost a very good chance
It's worked again by the Gunners, only for Gibbs' snap shot to go into the sidenetting
Cross from Nasri on the right, easily cleared by Vidic
It really is quite a rubbish match, it's fair to say
It's a poor hit and never stood a chance of getting as far as Fabianski
Fabregas trips Giggs right in Ronaldo country. 35 yards from goal and central
And now the sun is out. Don't you just love England?
There's a monsoon in Manchester right now. Cats and dogs would be an understatement. Surely it's "shoot on sight" weather
Arshavin mis-kicks and the corner routine is wasted
Van Persie will again take, United struggle to clear and in the end it's Carrick who knocks behind for a corner
Now Tevez leaves Fabregas on the deck - starting to get full of niggles but a chance here to swing one in from the right
Ronaldo's cross hits a defender, bounces back onto his ankle and out for a goal-kick
Now Nasri goes into the book... for a foul on Evra. He should have let the play go as Rooney was through.
It's raining now in Manchester, and quite heavily. Shock of all shocks
The ref has a word with Fabregas, maybe to calm the Gunners down - though Evra gets a talking to as well as the last challenge brought a few handbags
And straight away Evra is clattered by Van Persie who is on a yellow - one more and the Dutchman may go
Evar's okay and we continue
Evra needs some treatment, looks a lit sore after being caught on the knee
Fabregas gets a quick booking for catching Evra high
Arsenal kick-off
The players are coming back out
United are champions as it stands, but one Arsenal goal can change all that - come back in 15
And that's half-time
It is Ronaldo - but it's always cutting away from Fabianski's left-hand post
Ronaldo will surely smash this one
Handball against Nasri 25 yards out - great chance for United with the last kick of the half. Arshavin gets booked for a foul in th ebuild up to that
Two minutes to be added on
...Nasri's snap shot it going well wide and hits Van Persie - it could go anywhere but it's a United defender who clears
Corner is taken short and the chance looks to be gone before a bit of Arshavin magic opens space, and his cut-back eventually finds Nasri...
Van Persie curls one towards goal and Vidic heads over ahead of the fists of his goalkeeper
Rooney is penalised for a tug on Sagna on the right flank, soft decision but another dhance for Arsenal
Good chance to cross into the box - Fabregas takes and it's headed away with ease
O'Shea fells Arshavin on the left. Free-kick
Good run by Rooney, lucky deflections set Giggs into a good position but he blasts it over
Loopy header from Van Persie, but it was from the edge of the area and easy for Van der Sar
Giggs takes himself from the left but it really carried no tangible threat
Good play by Giggs, wins a corner off Toure
Nasri passes the ball to... Giggs. But both sides are very guilty of gifting the ball to the opposition at the moment
It's very scrappy now. We probably need half-time to tidy it up
Van Persie strikes the ball... and the wall as well. Rubbish
Van Persie stands over the free-kick. Shot or cross?
Toure is clipped about 35 yards from goal, by Tevez, and it's a free-kick
Van Persie clatters into Ronaldo in the centre circle, it was a messy challenge and rightly gets a yellow card
Great defending from Evans as he guards the ball out of play as Fabregas tried to get on the end of a pass
It's gone a bit dull now, nothing like the old blood and guts of Man Utd v Arsenal in the past
A deflected shot from Nasri in straight into the arms of Van der Sar
United are atill struggling to create real openings
Shot from Rooney, blocked by Toure
Poor cross from Sagna on the right, put straight into the stand
Arsenal certainly are having plenty of possession and United do not seem too concerned by it
Giggs hits it... into Row Z
Giggs and Ronaldo line this one up
Ronaldo goes down, push by Song just on the angle of the box on the right. Free-kick
Fletcher does brilliantly down the right against Gibbs but his cross it poor, then foolishly brings down Song chasing the loose ball.
Fabregas swings a deep ball into box, Van Persie goes down with Vidic ands takes a look at the ref without any real appeal
A bit of keep-ball from Arsenal. They've shown from the Van Persie chance that they can create
...inches wide. Rooney should have scored, Fabianski didn't move and the ball just bounced the wrong side of the post
It comes out to Carrick who spots Rooney in space, it's curled to the back stick and Rooney heads it...
Ronaldo's cross from the right is headed away by Toure
Brilliant mazy run by Arshavin, he gets into the area and is ready to bury a shot until Evans comes across to steal it off his toe
...and he balloons a simple header, from just eight yards out, way over the bar. Arsenal should have the lead
Arshavin dinks a cross to Van Persie at the far post, he's in acres of space...
Superb cross-field ball by Rooney to Ronaldo on the left, he gets into the area but there's three defenders on him as he does the stepovers and is crowded out
Corner comes in from the left and Fabianski makes a confident claim
Then suddenly a break and Ronaldo breaks down the right, cuts it square for Rooney whose poor shot is deflected over
Gibbs' cross is cleared by Evra - Arsenal enjoying some possesion now
Nasri and Song link up well and Song looks to feed in Van Persie, who is just offside
Toure bundles into the back of Tevez inside the centre circle
Ronaldo looks like he has a little knock to his ankle, no doubt he'll be fine
Lost a bit of the flow now, Arsenal have grown into the game
United will be eager to wrap up the title today to give them the chance to rest their stars at Hull City next week, the game coming just three days before the Champions League final in Italy.
Remeber you can follow England v West Indies in the Second Test with our colleagues at www.cricinfo.com, and England have just lost a wicket
It's calmed down now, but United still very much on top
Brilliant play from Rooney on the left, leaving Sagna for dead. The cross is not great though and Toure heads away
Fabregas hits one from 30 yards but it's always rising over the bar
Arsenal rocking in the early moments, United look hungry
Ronaldo finds himself through on goal on 10 seconds, a great chance for the strike as he gets to the area. Instead he cuts back inside the defender and the chance is gone. Wasteful
It's United to kick off
The atmosphere is building at Old Trafford, the fans signing "we're going to Italy" to the tune of "Que Sera Sera". They'll be there for the Champions League final on May 27.
The Gunners are without injured duo Manuel Almunia and Emmanuel Adebayor. However, they do have Andrei Arshavin available, the Russia striker now recovered from flu after missing the recent Champions League mauling by the Red Devils as he was blocked from playing.
Carlos Tevez is handed a starting berth but £30.75million record signing Dimitar Berbatov is only on the bench. Sir Alex Ferguson makes two further changes to the side which came from behind to beat Wigan on Wednesday, Darren Fletcher and Ryan Giggs replacing Anderson and Paul Scholes.
Join us for live commentary of Manchester United v Arsenal. The Red Devils need just a point to win the Premier League title and how sweet it would be to do so by beating the Gunners. All the action, live from 1245 UK time.
