Arsenal host Manchester United in a huge Premier League clash at the Emirates tonight.
The Gunners trail league leaders Liverpool by nine points ahead of kick-off with Mikel Arteta’s side in rampant form, bagging 13 goals in their three games since the end of the November international break.
Ruben Amorim has lifted some of the gloom around Old Trafford with Sunday’s emphatic victory over Everton a welcomed boost for the side who have struggled so badly for goals this season.
Arsenal hope to have Gabriel Magalhaes available to start tonight after he was forced off against West Ham last Saturday.
United meanwhile are without the suspended Kobbie Mainoo and Lisandro Martinez with a fresh injury blow for Luke Shaw adding to the manager’s selection headache at the back. Leny Yoro however is fit and is in contention to make his long-awaited debut in the capital tonight.

Tyrell Malacia starting tonight?
Tony Mogan
Reports ahead of kick-off are claiming Tyrell Malacia is set to start his first Premier League game since May 2023 tonight.
The Dutchman, fit again after a major knee injury, started in the 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt last Thursday. While he looked sharp enough in the attacking third, he was at fault when the visitors took the lead, unable to keep up as his marker burst past him with ease to score.
Malacia was hooked at half-time that night but with injury issues at the back, he could have another chance tonight.
