Arsenal team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Manchester United

Arsenal host Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday in a match which could prove pivotal for this season's top-four race.

Finishing in the Champions League places has taken on even greater importance for the Gunners after they fell to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Rennes in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie on Thursday night.

Just one point separates Unai Emery's side from United ahead of this weekend's showdown, although both teams could start the match outside of the top four should Chelsea beat Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier in the day.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Arsenal's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the latest chapter of the Premier League's defining rivalry.
