🔴Arsenal | EPL Form: W🟢W🟢W🟢W🟢D🟡D🟡
Mikel Arteta's side swiftly returned to winning ways with a 3-1 Champions League victory at Inter Milan in midweek. They begin the weekend with a seven-point cushion at the summit.
The "Emirates factor" has been pivotal, with the Gunners conceding a maximum of one goal in each of their 16 home matches this campaign.
⚫Manchester United | EPL Form: L🔴W🟢D🟡D🟡D🟡W🟢
Michael Carrick's men arrive with confidence sky-high after a 2-0 masterclass victory over Manchester City. The win extended their unbeaten league run to five games.
Their attack is firing, but a leaky away defence that has failed to keep a clean sheet on their travels faces its ultimate test at the Emirates.
👥 Predicted Lineups 👥
🔴Arsenal (possible): Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Odegaard, Zubimendi, Rice, Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard.
⚫Manchester United (possible): Lammens, Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw, Mainoo, Casemiro, Diallo, Fernandes, Dorgu, Mbeumo.
🔥 Matchups & Players to Watch 👀
✨ Viktor Gyokeres – Favoured to lead the line for Arsenal. His physical presence will be key to unlocking the United defence.
✨ Bruno Fernandes – The creative heartbeat of United. He created six chances against Man City and is the main source of ammunition.
✨ Bukayo Saka – Expected to start on the right flank for the Gunners. His trickery will be crucial for Arsenal's goalscoring chances.
✨ Bryan Mbeumo – Scored in the derby win, and his pace poses a major threat to Arsenal's high defensive line.
