Pre-match quotes from Arsene Wenger

On Alexandre Lacazette's surprise inclusion: "He will play because he recovered surprisingly. He had a scan that was positive and he practiced yesterday."

On how Arsenal will approach the match: "We will try to dictate the game when we can and that is certainly what United will try to do. We need to be efficient with the ball. They are quick and strong on the counter-attack so we need a solid defensive performance."

Pre-match quotes from Jose Mourinho

On Nemanja Matic's surprise inclusion: "He wants to play. I'm not sure that he is completely fit but he wants to play and I trust his experience, I trust his feeling and we start with him because he's important."

On how United will approach the game: "When we have the ball we want to attack. When Arsenal have the ball we have to defend."

On Alexandre Lacazette's surprise inclusion in the Arsenal team: "It surprised me because their manager said he was out. It's not a problem. It's just a good striker, like Giroud is a good striker, like Welbeck is a good striker. We know that they have three very good options so it's just a question of different qualities but they're all great players."
