Coming through the North London derby unscathed - with Ramsdale fine despite being targeted by a disgraceful supporter attack - the Arsenal lineup will pick itself with Gabriel Jesus still facing several weeks out with a knee injury.

Reiss Nelson is also unlikely to be back from a hamstring issue in time for Sunday, while Mohamed Elneny and Cedric Soares will both need assessing after picking up knocks, although the duo's chances of starting this one were minimal anyway.

Another goal for Bukayo Saka would see him become only the third Arsenal player to score in three consecutive league games against Man United, following in the footsteps of the esteemed Freddie Ljungberg and Thierry Henry.

The Gunners have now confirmed the signing of Leandro Trossard from Brighton & Hove Albion, and having registered the Belgian attacker before 12pm on Friday, they are "hopeful" that he can make his debut here.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Nketiah

Manchester United
Faces were palmed across the Man United fanbase when Casemiro cynically scythed down Wilfried Zaha at Selhurst Park - picking up his fifth yellow card of the season and incurring a suspension for this crucial clash.

Fred should therefore come in to partner Eriksen in the middle, while Jadon Sancho has returned to training after following an individual programme but is unlikely to be considered for a start just yet.

Diogo Dalot and Anthony Martial's issues will also need assessing, while Axel Tuanzebe and Donny van de Beek remain out, but Jack Butland will be back on the bench after being unable to face his parent club.

Should Martial not be deemed fit enough, another start will come the way of Burnley loanee Wout Weghorst, forcing Marcus Rashford - who has four goals and four assists from 10 league starts against the Gunners - out wide.
Manchester United possible starting lineup:
De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Shaw; Eriksen, Fred; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Weghorst
Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Manchester United
