Arsenal full squad as Mikel Arteta confirms his plans ahead of Man Utd clash

Arsenal will be hoping to continue their superb away league form with victory at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta's side are yet to lose a Premier League clash away from the Emirates in 2025 and travel to Manchester United tomorrow afternoon.

The Gunners will be buoyed following their 7-1 hammering over PSV in midweek and may be potentially bolstered by some returning faces to the side.

Arsenal will be looking to close the gap on Liverpool after their comeback victory against Southampton on Saturday, with the current deficit standing at 16 points.

Arteta's men do have two games in hand, starting with a tricky test at the Theatre of Dreams, a venue that can often throw up a surprise or two.

A hot topic of conversation in midweek was young striker Chido Obi's move to United from Arsenal in the summer, with the teenager starting to break through under Ruben Amorim.

"I wasn’t too involved in that decision, when a player decides the best outcome for him is to leave, there’s not a lot you can do," said Arteta when asked about Obi.

"It’s very unfortunate because we want to keep our players from the academy and for them to be very successful with the first team, but in that case and with Ayden [Heaven], we weren’t able to do that."

The narrative in recent weeks has been that Arsenal could have been boosted by a striker, given the injuries sustained to forwards as of late.

But having failed to score against Nottingham Forest, the Gunners found the net with a plum in Europe and will be hoping for more of the same in Manchester.

Their squad seems to be relatively the same for the 16:30 kick-off and football.london predicts which players could be available for selection.

Arsenal: Raya, Neto, Setford; Lewis-Skelly, Gabriel, Saliba, Timber, Calafiori, Zinchenko, White, Tierney, Kiwior, Odegaard, Rice, Partey, Jorginho, Butler-Oyedeji, Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard, Kabia.
