TEAM NEWS
United are likely to be without Paul Pogba, who pulled his calf muscle during our game at Anfield. He joins Edinson Cavani (calf) and Luke Shaw (leg) on the sidelines.
However, Scott McTominay should be available after making the bench against Liverpool, while Fred and Raphael Varane could also make a return. Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to training, after missing Tuesday’s fixture due to compassionate leave.
Thomas Partey (thigh) and Kieran Tierney (knee) will be absent for Mikel Arteta’s team. However, Takehiro Tomiyasu might make a comeback after several calf injuries. Alexandre Lacazette returned to the matchday squad against Chelsea, after recently testing positive for COVID, and came on as a substitute deep into injury time.

FORM GUIDE
United are in a mixed run of form, with two wins, two losses and one defeat in the last five games. However, a win on Saturday would put the Reds level on points with Arsenal, whose triumph over Chelsea came off the back of three straight defeats, all against teams placed tenth or lower in the Premier League.
Both the Gunners (+10) and Tottenham Hotspur (+18) have a superior goal difference to the Reds (+4) which might keep the two North London clubs ahead in the race for Champions League qualification.
A victory at the Emirates would see United go five points ahead of seventh-placed West Ham, who travel to Chelsea on Sunday.
HEAD-TO-HEAD RECORD
This will be the 236th meeting between the two clubs. United have won 98 so far to Arsenal's 84, with 53 games ending in draws.
