The Premier League is back, starting with the small matter of a Manchester derby at Old Trafford, in Michael Carrick's first game as head coach.
Carrick replaced Ruben Amorim until the end of the season after the Portuguese was sacked earlier this month, with United in poor form having not won in four, and with one win in seven.
Manchester City, six points off Arsenal, are looking to steal a march on the leader, who face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground at 5.30pm.
Elsewhere, Liverpool host lowly Burnley, while out-of-form Spurs host London rivals West Ham, who are looking fated to relegation from the Premier League.
