Manchester United
- A 0-0 draw against Real Sociedad wasn't ideal preparation for the welcome of Arsenal, although Manchester United have won 3 of their last 4 Premier League fixtures.
- Manager David Moyes will be without Darren Fletcher, Rafael and Jonny Evans through injury, while Danny Welbeck, Michael Carrick and Tom Cleverley are all doubts.
- Chris Smalling is expected to come in at right-back and Marouane Fellaini may start despite his red card on Wednesday.
Arsenal
- Arsenal's confidence will be sky high following the 1-0 win over Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday night and manager Arsene Wenger will be demanding his players to stretch their unbeaten Premier League run to 10 games at the expense of Manchester United.
- The Gunners are expected to be without Abou Diaby, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lukas Podolski and Yaya Sanogo for the trip to Old Trafford, while Theo Walcott and Mathieu Flamini are doubts, but will be on the bench if fit enough.
- Arsenal are expected to remain unchanged from the side that overcame Dortmund at the Westfalonstadion.
Match Facts
Prediction
- After a stuttering start to life under David Moyes, Manchester United have hit a patch of form in the Premier League recently, winning 3 of their last 4 games. United have lost just 1 of their last 9 league encounters against Arsenal and will be looking to stretch their impressive run against the Gunners on Sunday.
- Arsenal, however, have dropped points just once in their last 9 league outings and have won 3 times at Old Trafford in the Premier League era, eventually winning the title in 2 of those seasons.
- Nevertheless, with home advantage expected to play a defining role, United are likely to deny the north London side from securing maximum points in Manchester in what has the potential to be a highly entertaining encounter.
