Manchester United v Arsenal: Line-ups, stats and preview

Team News for Manchester United v Arsenal

United remain down to the bare bones and it is likely to be a similar squad that performed well in San Sebastián, bar Patrick Dorgu who serves the second of his three-game domestic suspension.

The only addition is teenage striker Chido Obi-Martin, who will be included after being ineligible for the midweek encounter. Obi-Martin and defender Ayden Heaven were both poached from Arsenal by United over the past six months.

Chido is an option for Sunday 👀

Arsenal will have young full-back Myles Lewis-Skelly available again after serving a one-match suspension having been sent off against West Ham.

It was Lewis-Skelly’s second red card of the season while he was also dragged off against PSV after just 35 minutes when on a yellow.

“I didn’t want to take any risks and be managing the game for so long, especially with how important the competition is,” Mikel Arteta said.

“It was quite clear that we had a liability there with the yellow card and the next [foul].  It’s a lesson to learn for him, for sure. We will support and help him.

“The line is really thin in sport and he needs to understand that. He is very intelligent and extremely demanding of himself. He is a perfectionist and he is here to learn.”
