Team News

Arsene Wenger will miss the services of Jack Wilshere, Tomas Rosicky, Danny Welbeck, Mikel Arteta and Laurient Koscielny through injuries. Petr Cech and Mathieu Flamini are doubtful for the tie, but the former is expected to start after missing out on Arsenal’s Champions League defeat against Olympiakos. Louis van Gaal does not have any fresh injury concerns, with Luke Shaw and Marcos Rojo continuing to remain sidelined.

Arsene Wenger will be inclined to start Theo Walcott up front instead of the misfiring Olivier Giroud. Cazorla and Coquelin’s return to deep midfield should provide the Frenchman comfort.

Manchester United are going through a positive phase with Anthony Martial continuing to repay the trust Van Gaal placed on the youngster.

Arsenal Possible Starting XI: Petr Cech, Hector Bellerin, Gabriel Paulista, Per Mertesacker, Nacho Monreal, Francis Coquelin, Santi Cazorla, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott.

Manchester United Possible Starting XI: David de Gea, Matteo Darmian, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Daley Blind, Morgan Schneiderlin, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney, Memphis Depay, Anthony Martial.
