Bukayo Saka and Takehiro Tomiyasu to start for Arsenal against Manchester United, Bukayo is expected to shake off injury.
Arsenal have fitnes concerns over Takehiro Tomiyasu after he was absent from a session at London Colney this week.
Going into Sunday’s match at Old Trafford, Bukayo Saka and Takehiro have question marks regarding their fitness in pre-match press conference.
Mikel Arteta has been up to his usual tricks when it comes to team news, he said Saka was a doubt to face Manchester United.
A few doubts that we can resolve with another training session, he said when asked about the injury status of his squad, “so we’ll have to see.”
Most of the Arsenal team picks itself, with Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice and Thomas Partey starting in Midfield.
Kai Havertz will continue to lead the line, while Leandro Trosard is being preferred ahead of Gabriel Martinelli on the left.
Even with Manchester United’s form right now, it’s still a game where Arteta will want his first choice side available to him.
Regardless of the Manchester City score, it’s crucial that he gets his team selection spot on.
