Manchester United will go head to head with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday evening looking to continue their excellent run of form across all competitions. The Red Devils have lost just once under Ole Gunnar Solkjaer and will fancy their chances of picking up maximum points from this contest. They already managed to beat the Gunners away from home in the FA Cup earlier this year, so they know what’s required to get the job done this weekend.
Solkjaer will likely stick with his 4-3-3 formation and might name Alexis Sanchez in his first-team for this league encounter in North London.
4-3-3 Manchester United Predicted Lineup To Face Arsenal
Defence
David De Gea is a nailed-on starter in goal for the visitors after he managed to restrict the Paris Saint-Germain attackers from scoring more than one goal on Wednesday night. The centre-back pair of Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof will protect the Spanish keeper as they look to keep things stable defensively on Sunday.
Ashley Young will lineup as the right-back once again as he tries to get to the byline and deliver some decent crosses for Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford. Luke Shaw will resume his left-back duties on the other side of the Red Devils defence this weekend.
Man United have managed to maintain a solid defensive shape since Solkjaer’s appointment at Old Trafford so we can expect them to be resolute at the back while up against the Arsenal attackers on Sunday evening.
Midfield
Solkjaer might opt for the midfield trio of Andreas Pereira, Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba for this crucial clash at the Emirates Stadium. Pogba was suspended in midweek which means that he will be well-rested for this encounter versus the Gunners this weekend.
Both Ander Herrera and Jesse Lingard could be unavailable for this Premier League game which means that Fred will be the only recognisable midfielder on the Man United bench.
Attack
The Red Devils front three would consist of Alexis Sanchez and Marcus Rashford operating on the flanks while Romelu Lukaku spearheads Solkjaer’s attack up front.
Both Rashford and Lukaku were outstanding against PSG as they scored the three goals which made the difference on the night. Hence, their confidence will be sky-high ahead of this league clash at the Emirates.
Juan Mata might not recover in time to feature in this match which means that Solkjaer could be forced to deploy Diogo Dalot in a more advanced position off the bench.
