Only Matthijs de Ligt, Joshua Zirkzee and Noussair Mazraoui are unavailable for Manchester United for the trip to The Emirates on Sunday afternoon.
It means Michael Carrick will have the same pool of players to pick from as he did in the 2-0 win over Manchester City last week.

There are several selection headaches for Carrick and his backroom staff to mull over, including how to organise United’s attack in North London.
Matheus Cunha was benched against City but came on to make an impact. As did Mason Mount, who had a goal controversially disallowed at the Etihad Stadium.

Mason Mount can star for Man United vs Arsenal
United’s record against Arsenal is bleak, especially away from home.
It is up to Carrick to try and get United’s first win at The Emirates since 2017 in the Premier League.

While he may not start in North London, the 27-year-old has proven he can have a big impact from the bench against tiring defences.
Mount will certainly not get a good reception at The Emirates because of his United and Chelsea links, but that could spur him on to sting Arteta one more time.
