Arsenal vs Manchester United, Arsenal vs Man United

Let’s look at the team news as Arsenal host Man United in a significant game that could eventually decide the Premier League title race. Michael Olise’s late goal for Palace in the 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Selhurst Park prevented the Red Devils from temporarily rising to second in the table.

Manchester United had taken the lead with a goal from Bruno Fernandes but were denied a 10th consecutive win across all competitions. Despite this result, they sit in a solid third place with coach Ten Hag working his magic.The team has an eight-point gap to make up to Arsenal and a three-point deficit to make up to Manchester City.

The Red Devils have not failed to score away from home in the Premier League since August, and has only lost two of their nine games on the road since then. However, they have failed to keep clean sheets away from home, having secured only one clean sheet since October.

In the previous league fixture, Man United exposed the shortcomings of a youthful Arsenal side with a 3-1 win at Old Trafford in September, and Arteta’s team defeated the Manchester side by the same scoreline at the Emirates last season.

Injury/Suspension List:

The Arsenal lineup will be relatively stable for the upcoming match against Man United, with the exception of players who are injured or recovering from injuries. Gabriel Jesus is expected to be out for several weeks with a knee injury, and Reiss Nelson is unlikely to return from a hamstring issue in time for the game.

Mohamed Elneny and Cedric Soares may also be assessed for any injuries they may have sustained, but it is unlikely that they would have been starters for this match. Another goal from Bukayo Saka would make him the third Arsenal player to score in three consecutive league games against Manchester United.

The Gunners also recently confirmed the signing of Leandro Trossard from Brighton & Hove Albion, and they hope that he will be able to make his debut in tonight’s crucial fixture.

On the other hand, Manchester United will be without Casemiro due to suspension, and Fred is likely to take his place in the middle of the field. Jadon Sancho has returned to training, but he will not be involved against the North London side as confirmed by Ten Hag.
