Team News

Sergio Romero and Eric Bailly miss out due to injuries for Manchester United while Arsenal will be without the injured Mohamed Elneny and Santi Cazorla, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan will face a late fitness test.

Manchester United Possible Starting Lineup: David de Gea, Antonio Valencia, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Ashley Young, Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez.

Arsenal Possible Starting Lineup: Petr Cech, Calum Chambers, Shkodran Mustafi, Rob Holding, Sead Kolasinac, Granit Xhaka, Joe Willock, Reiss Nelson, Alex Iwobi, Danny Welbeck, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

“At the time he did not accept our contract offer and the best possible way where we could get something from his departure was to make an exchange for the player of the quality of Mkhitaryan. It’s strange for me to see him in a different shirt because he had a strong bond with the club and of course he was here for a few years. He did extremely well for us.”

– Arsene Wenger, Arsenal.
