Arsenal face a resurgent Manchester United at the weekend as they look to exert revenge for the only defeat they have suffered so far this season, so let’s take a look at the latest team news.
The Gunners were able to get crucial three points at Tottenham in a fixture that has proven to be a bogey for them of late. That will put them in a better frame of mind as they welcome the Red Devils to the Emirates.
As for the team news, all the eyeballs will be on new arrival Leandro Trossard. The man who arrived from Brighton and Hove Albion is expected to be included in the squad after his registration was done in time.
The good news for Mikel Arteta is that there are no injury concerns apart from the long-term absentee Gabriel Jesus. This Sunday we could also potentially see Emile Smith Rowe get to play a bigger role and that could be the deciding factor.
Arsenal Fever View:
For the north Londoners, they have a clear objective, that is to keep playing the way they have been doing. But at the same time, they will be aware of what happened at Old Trafford the last time these two teams met.
United executed their plan to perfection and hurt the Gunners on the counter, ultimately winning that game. Arteta would surely have kept this at the forefront of his preparation for the weekend and instructed his players to keep an eye out for this.
There is real hope that surrounds the Emirates and a win against an arch rival would further solidify the title challenge that is taking shape. One player the hosts need to be wary of is Marcus Rashford who looks like he is approaching his best in the last few weeks.
Arsenal will be aware of the magnitude of the challenge that awaits them at the weekend. If there is one thing that stands out with this team, it is the fact that they do not shy away from a challenge. Fans will be hoping that the home team shows their class and are able to add another three points to their collection. That will not be easy against a team that is finding form at the right time.
