Arsenal will lock horns with Manchester United at Old Trafford this Sunday afternoon as they look to secure a good result on the road in their Premier League season opener. The Gunners secured a convincing 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao in a pre-season friendly recently, so they would be in good shape going into this weekend\u2019s clash at the Theatre of Dreams.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta will set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to name a strong first team for this game. Ben White and Myles Lewis-Skelly could get the nod to play from the start of this contest.<\/p>\n

Defence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

David Raya will feature in between the sticks for the Gunners as he looks to keep a clean sheet at Old Trafford. William Saliba will operate alongside Gabriel at the centre of Arsenal<\/a>\u2018s defence as they try to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

Ben White could get a chance to impress as the right-back, while Myles Lewis-Skelly hopes to give a good account of himself on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will be allowed to go forward and join in on the attack at every chance they get.<\/p>\n

Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.<\/p>\n

Midfield<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Martin Odegaard will make up Arteta\u2019s midfield. All three of them need to retain possession well and create some inviting chances for their teammates up top.<\/p>\n

Mikel Merino and Kai Havertz will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the second 45 minutes if required.<\/p>\n

Attack<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Gabriel Martinelli will try to put his pace to good use on the left flank while Bukayo Saka looks to weave his magic from the right. Viktor Gyokeres will spearhead Arsenal\u2019s attack down the middle. The Swedish forward would be eager to get his name on the scoresheet on his Premier League debut this weekend.<\/p>\n

Noni Madueke will have to be content with a spot on the bench as he waits for his chance to shine in the final quarter of the game, if needed.<\/p>\n
