Arsenal will entertain Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium this Sunday as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Gunners managed to secure a 3-1 win over Inter Milan recently, so they would be full of confidence going into this game.<\/p>\n

Mikel Arteta will set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make some changes to his first team for this clash. Viktor Gyokeres could lead the line for the North London club up top, while Gabriel Jesus makes way for him and drops to the bench.<\/p>\n

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

David Raya will feature in between the sticks for Arsenal<\/a> after conceding one goal in his last outing. William Saliba will resume his partnership with Gabriel at the heart of Arteta\u2019s defence as they look to keep a solid shape on the defensive end of the field.<\/p>\n

Ben White will fill in as the right-back, while Jurrien Timber hopes to prove his worth on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the freedom to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent\u2019s half.<\/p>\n

Cristhian Mosquera will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.<\/p>\n

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

Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Martin Odegaard will make up Arsenal\u2019s midfield. All three of them need to retain possession well at the centre of the park and engineer some clear-cut chances in the final third.<\/p>\n

Mikel Merino and Eberechi Eze will be named on the bench as they wait for their chance to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if needed.<\/p>\n

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

Leandro Trossard will try to catch the eye as the left-sided wide player, while Bukayo Saka hopes to give a good account of himself on the right flank. Both of them will hope to get in behind the opponent\u2019s backline at every chance they can get.<\/p>\n

Viktor Gyokeres will spearhead Arsenal\u2019s attack up top. He has to find a way to be a constant menace in the final third.<\/p>\n

Noni Madueke and Gabriel Jesus will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the latter stages of the game if required.<\/p>\n
