OLIVER HOLT AT ANFIELD: Five nights ago‚ less than 40 miles to the north of Anfield‚ Arsenal fell to one of the most humiliating reverses of their long and august history. In the teeth of a gale that blew in off the Irish Sea‚ they were knocked out of the League Cup by Fleetwood Town‚ a team that was 18th in League Two. They left with their tails between their legs‚ their teenage prodigy Max Dowman sent off in a melee‚ their heart questioned‚ their quality debated‚ their discipline an issue. Mikel Arteta and his side knew that just a few days later‚ at the other end of the Fylde Coast and across the Ribble Estuary‚ a different but daunting challenge awaited. They did not shirk it. If Tuesday night was a humbling‚ their gritty 1-0 victory in an Anfield that was a cauldron once more felt like a significant triumph. It was the champions' first victory here since 2012 and it took them above Manchester City so that sit‚ once more‚ at the top of the table.

Darren Fletcher's side were knocked out of England's top cup competition at the first time of asking on Sunday night‚ with former Red Devil Danny Welbeck scoring one and setting up another in Brighton's 2-1 win. It means United were this season knocked out of both domestic cups at the first hurdle‚ having lost on penalties to League Two Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup at the start of the campaign.

CHRIS WHEELER AT OLD TRAFFORD: It's 44 years since the biggest club in English football last fell at the first hurdle of both domestic cup competitions. But having been humiliated by League Two Grimsby in the Carabao Cupin August‚ United were eliminated by the excellent Seagulls here thanks to goals from Brajan Gruda and former Old Trafford favourite Danny Welbeck. Still in peak form at the age of 35‚ it was Welbeck's eighth goal against United for Arsenaland Brighton since leaving his hometown club in 2014. He has been linked with his old club on a number of occasions since then‚ and would have been a far better bet than most of the expensive options United have explored over more than a decade.

The 20-year-old has subsequently played only from the bench and made just 12 appearances across all competitions since the start of the season.
