Manchester United will lock horns with Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday evening, hoping to put an end to their winning run. The visitors will be coming into the match on the back of a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa, whereas the Red Devils recorded a narrow 1-0 win against Leicester City.
Erik Ten Hag will probably opt for the 4-3-3 formation with a couple of tweaks from the last game as Casemiro looks likely to replace Scott McTominay this weekend.
4-3-3 Predicted Manchester United Lineup Vs Arsenal
Defence
David de Gea is expected to start between the sticks for the upcoming clash. The Spanish shot-stopper would look to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Sunday.
Raphael Varane is expected to start at the heart of United’s backline, with new signing Lisandro Martinez slotting into the right-centre back position. Diogo Dalot should start at the right-back position, whereas Tyrell Malacia will fill in on the other flank as the left-back.
Midfield
New signing Casemiro is expected to start in the defensive midfield position, whereas Bruno Fernandes will slot in as the attacking midfielder.
Christian Eriksen remains a sure-fire starter for Manchester United this week, and it’ll be an understatement to say The Red Devils will be highly dependent on the Denmark international’s creative work if they wish to pick up a win on Sunday.
Fred will have to settle for a place on the bench, but he could be brought on in the second half of the contest if needed.
Attack
Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford will take up the wide positions, causing menace for Mikel Arteta’s men down the right and left-wing, respectively.
Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to lead the line for Manchester United this weekend. The Portugal international’s adept movement in front of the goal could cause a lot of trouble for the Arsenal defence.
Anthony Elanga could be brought off the bench as an impact substitute in the second forty-five minutes of the match.
