How Arsenal could line up against Manchester United

How Arsenal could line up against Man United

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta should have Takehiro Tomiyasu back at his disposal for Saturday's Premier League clash with Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.

The right-back has returned to training after his troublesome calf issue but may only be considered for a spot on the bench after missing out against Chelsea in midweek.

Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney continue their long-term recoveries, but Arteta has no fresh concerns to deal with from Wednesday's 4-2 win against the Blues and will certainly be tempted to name an unchanged side.

Aaron Ramsdale did not cover himself in glory for Chelsea's first goal on the night, but the 23-year-old will expect to act as the last line of defence in front of Gabriel Magalhaes and the reinvigorated Rob Holding.

Such a move would see Ben White start at right-back before potentially shifting into a back three, as Nuno Tavares keeps his place on the left after a couple of more promising showings.

Mohamed Elneny justified his selection over Albert Sambi Lokonga at Stamford Bridge and ought to partner Granit Xhaka once again, as creative hub Martin Odegaard continues in the hole.

Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe both hit double figures for the league season at Stamford Bridge, but Eddie Nketiah was the star of the show with two goals of his own and will surely keep Alexandre Lacazette out of the team.

Arsenal possible starting lineup: Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Tavares; Xhaka, Elneny; Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe; Nketiah
