Team news

Arsenal news

  • The team that defeated Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday is anticipated to make few changes.

  • Arsenal will keep Eddie Nketiah up front despite the return of Alexandre Lacazette, who scored twice in the win over Chelsea.

  • In the only change for Arsenal, Cedric Soares might return to right-back, with Ben White moving back inside to centre-back.

  • With Thomas Partey ruled out, Mohamed Elneny and Sambi Lokonga are vying for a starting spot in central midfield.

Manchester United news

  • With a calf injury suffered early in the game against Liverpool on Tuesday night, Paul Pogba has been ruled out for a few weeks.

  • Scott McTominay might make his comeback here after making the bench at Anfield, despite the fact that he hadn't even practiced previous to Tuesday's humiliating defeat.

  • Raphael Varane resumed light training earlier this week and might play for Ralf Rangnick's side here.

  • Jadon Sancho was rested against Liverpool in preparation for Saturday's match against Arsenal. Alex Telles should also come back.

  • Cristiano Ronaldo returned to training on Wednesday after missing the Liverpool loss due to the untimely death of his son. He may return, but he will, obviously, be given the time he requires.

Match facts

  • In their last three Premier League away matches, Manchester United have lost at halftime and at full time.

  • In all competitions, Arsenal has maintained a clean sheet in 5 of their previous 7 home matches against Manchester United.

  • Man United have lost their last three Premier League away games.

  • Under 2.5 goals have been scored in Arsenal's last three home matches against Manchester United in all competitions.

Arsenal vs Manchester United predictions

Arsenal surprised Chelsea with a 4-2 win away from home in midweek, putting the pressure back on Tottenham after a run of three straight defeats that seemed to end their prospects of finishing fourth.

Despite the fact that Manchester United are only three points behind Arsenal and Tottenham in fourth place, it would be a complete shock if they returned to contention.

United were thrashed 4-0 by Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday, and it's tough to imagine them winning any of their remaining games this season.

United won the reverse meeting 3-2 during Michael Carrick's brief tenure as manager, but it's hard to see them taking anything away from London on Saturday.

Prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Manchester United
