Team news
Arsenal fans were thrilled at the sight of Takehiro Tomiyasu back on the training pitches earlier this week, but the Japanese right-back was still not involved in the win over Chelsea on Wednesday and may only be considered for a place on the bench against United.
Arteta will also be without Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney who remain sidelined.
Cristiano Ronaldo was understandably not involved in midweek after the tragic death of his newborn son, but the 37-year-old is now back in training and could feature at the Emirates.
Rangnick adds Paul Pogba to the injury list, after he hobbled off against Liverpool, which already consists of Luke Shaw, Fred and Edinson Cavani.
Predicted Line-ups
Arsenal: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Tavares, Xhaka, Elneny; Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe, Nketiah
Man United: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Lindelof, Telles, Matic, McTominay; Elanga, Fernandes, Sancho, Ronaldo
Odds
Arsenal: 21/20
Draw: 5/2
Man United: 5/2
Prediction
The expected return of Ronaldo to the attack should at least give Man United that extra bite, but it remains to be seen if he is in the right headspace to play.
If Arsenal’s new-look side can produce similar levels of incisiveness that they did against Chelsea, Man United’s suspect defence could be in for a rough ride against Arteta’s side. Arsenal 3-1 Man United
