Arsenal injury list and return dates before Man United - Saka, Tomiyasu latest

Facing the toughest challenge of their Premier League title credentials remaining, Arsenal make the long journey north to square off with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Mikel Arteta's men were frustrated for the early portions of their match with Bournemouth last weekend but eventually emerged triumphant 3-0 thanks to goals from Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Declan Rice.

However, owing to Manchester City's thrashing of Wolverhampton Wanderers later in the day, the Gunners' fate remains out of their own hands, sitting one point better off than the champions having played a game more.

In Friday's pre-match press conference, Arteta revealed that Saka was a slight doubt for the trip to Old Trafford due to an unspecified issue, but it would still be a shock not to see the 22-year-old start a game of this magnitude.

Similarly, Takehiro Tomiyasu - who had to train indoors for a portion of this week - also has a question mark hovering over his head for Sunday, but he seemingly has a good chance of being fit.

Having played two matches for the Under-21s, Jurrien Timber was declared fit and available for the meeting with Bournemouth on May 4, but he did not make the matchday squad. As a result, the Dutchman is still a minor fitness doubt for the trip to the Theatre of Dreams, but there is a strong chance that he will make the bench.

Arsenal have no players suspended for this match.
