Manchester United will be looking to bounce back quickly on Saturday after falling to their first defeat of the season at Arsenal in the Premier League.
A compact United frustrated Arsenal well in the first-half but two trademark corners from the hosts were the difference on Wednesday evening. The Gunners took the lead just less than ten minutes after half-time as Jurrien Timber flicked the ball home at the near stick.
The second came 20 minutes later from the other flank as Thomas Partey nodded the ball back across goal to deflect in off William Saliba. United worked hard but never looked like threatening as they slipped to defeat in north London.

United return to home comforts on Saturday when they host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League and MEN Sport has taken a look at the current state of the injury room.
Luke Shaw
Injury: Muscular
What we know:Shaw confirmed his injury setback on social media which ruled him out of the defeat to Arsenal. The full-back described the latest setback as 'absolutely devastating' after he played half an hour in all three of Amorim's matches before Wednesday evening.
Potential return date: Late December/Early January
Jonny Evans
Injury: Unknown
What we know: After starting at Ipswich Town in Amorim's first match, Evans has been nowhere to be seen in the United squad since. Harry Maguire's return and Leny Yoro's debut may have pushed him out of the squad entirely but the prospect of an injury is a possibility for the veteran.
Potential return date: December 7 vs Nottingham Forest
Victor Lindelof
Injury: Groin
What we know: The Swede was forced off during the most recent international break and the muscular issue is likely to keep him out for a number of weeks. That being said, no update has been provided from United yet.
Potential return date: Unknown
