Tonight, Arsenal will play against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium in a highly anticipated midweek Premier League match. Both teams are coming off of impressive wins over West Ham and Everton, but they may have to face this game without some key players.
Arsenal is currently nine points behind the league leaders, Liverpool, who will also have a tough match against Newcastle at St James' Park. Manchester United, on the other hand, is in ninth place but only four points behind the Champions League spots.
For those in the UK, the game will be broadcasted on Amazon Prime Video. Fans who do not have a membership can sign up for a free 30-day trial and cancel at any time. This match is part of Amazon's Boxing Day round of fixtures, so those with the free trial will also be able to catch all of their Premier League games this month.
In terms of team news, Arsenal's new signing Thomas Partey did not feature in their last game due to a muscle injury. Meanwhile, Manchester United will be without Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo, who both received one-match bans after picking up their fifth yellow cards of the season in their last game against Everton.
Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, was tight-lipped about the fitness of Partey, as well as Gabriel and Mikel Merino, who also missed their last match due to injuries. United's coach, Ruben Amorim, will have to make some adjustments in defense due to the absence of Martinez and Mainoo, but he will have Harry Maguire back in the lineup.
There is also a question of who will start up front for United, with Rasmus Hojlund, Joshua Zirkzee, and Marcus Rashford all scoring two goals in their last game. However, Hojlund was rested in their last match and may get the nod for this important game against Arsenal.
Based on recent performances and injuries, here is a predicted lineup for both teams:
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Odegaard, Partey, Rice, Saka, Havertz, Martinelli
Manchester United: Onana, Mazraoui, de Ligt, Shaw, Diallo, Ugarte, Casemiro, Dalot, Rashford, Fernandes, Hojlund
It's sure to be an exciting match between these two rivals, and fans will be eager to see how these predicted lineups will fare on the pitch.
