How Manchester United should line up vs Arsenal in Premier League fixture

Manchester United are looking for consecutive wins in the Premier League against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon.

United conceded two early goals against Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford last weekend, but they recovered to complete a 3-2 comeback thanks to goals from Christian Eriksen, Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes.

Erik ten Hag's attention has now turned to facing Arsenal at the Emirates, where United struggled last season. The Gunners pushed Manchester City at the top of the Premier League in 2022/23 and they're hoping to build on that progress.

Regarding the team news, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Raphael Varane and Mason Mount remain sidelined with injuries, but new signing Rasmus Hojlund is available to make his debut for the club after recovering from his back injury.

Sergio Reguilon also trained at Carrington ahead of the game and he could be involved at left-back at the Emirates.

Our writers have had their say on how United should line up against Arsenal...

Samuel Luckhurst

United's back five picks itself in the absence of Varane and Shaw. Victor Lindelof is the logical inclusion for Varane and United have little choice but to go with Diogo Dalot, despite his error-strewn performance last week and the arrival of Sergio Reguilon.

Casemiro and Christian Eriksen is not an athletic midfield to pit against Arsenal but they are specialists and there are not credible alternatives.

Antony starts by virtue of Ten Hag's refusal to give Facundo Pellistri a proper go and Jadon Sancho would offer flexibility and durability that Anthony Martial doesn't.

Tyrone Marshall

United signed the cover they needed at left-back on deadline day but Reguilon has been out in the cold
