This fixture was once an unmissable event when Sir Alex Ferguson’s Red Devils duelled Arsene Wenger’s slick Gunners, but the encounter has doubtlessly dwindled in on-pitch significance over the past decade. However, chronically online supporters have ensured the battle remains fierce via the medium of Elon Musk’s X.
Arsenal enter the contest in what some continental coaches would call a ‘good moment’. They’ve won their previous three having rediscovered their attacking potency following the return of captain Martin Odegaard.
Amid their current free-scoring run, the Gunners made light work of Ruben Amorim’s former club, Sporting CP. Amorim takes charge of his fourth game in charge of United and has enjoyed an unbeaten start to his tenure. Wednesday, however, will be a considerable step up in difficulty from Ipswich Town, Bodo/Glimt, and Everton.
Here’s our preview of Arsenal vs Manchester United in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Man Utd: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Partey, Rice, Odegaard; Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard.
Man Utd team news
United were dealt a double blow during their 4-0 thumping of Everton on Sunday as Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo picked up their fifth yellow cards of the season which means they’re suspended for Wednesday’s game.
Luke Shaw will step in for Martinez on the left side of Amorim’s back three, while Manuel Ugarte and Christian Eriksen are contenders to partner Casemiro in Mainoo’s absence.
Leny Yoro could earn his first minutes of the season having recovered from a broken foot, but the young French defender will likely feature off the bench. Harry Maguire has also returned from a muscle injury, but Victor Lindelof is set to miss out again due to a hamstring problem.
Predicted Man Utd lineup vs Arsenal: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Shaw; Amad, Casemiro, Ugarte, Dalot; Fernandes, Zirkzee; Obi
