Manchester United are preparing for the visit of Arsenal on Sunday afternoon, with Erik ten Hag’s men handed the chance to have a significant say in this year’s title race.

United still have a Europa League place to play for in the league but the mood is lower than it ever has been this season, with most eyes locked on the FA Cup final in two weeks.

Arsenal could claim top spot in the Premier League with a win at Old Trafford this weekend but Ten Hag will hope to continue the trend of his side turning it up in the bigger home games.

As per usual this season, the Dutchman was dealt several injury blows going into the game, with Mason Mount and Luke Shaw both suffering injury setbacks.

Lisandro Martinez was, however, declared fit but is not in the side to face Arsenal on Sunday as he gradually ramps up his return to first-team football.

Casemiro continues to fill in at centre-back alongside the returning Jonny Evans, whilst Sofyan Amrabat is handed a rare start in midfield alongside Kobbie Mainoo.

Further up the pitch, Amad Diallo is in the side to fill the absence of both Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount, whilst Marcus Rashford is replaced by Alejandro Garnacho on the left wing.

Confirmed Manchester United line-up (4-2-3-1): Onana; Dalot, Casemiro, Evans, Wan-Bissaka; McTominay, Amrabat, Mainoo; Garnacho, Diallo; Hojlund
