Man Utd Zirkzee
Manchester United will host Arsenal at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils are currently in the bottom half of the table with 33 points from 27 games. They aren’t going to be relegated, nor will they finish in a European spot.

Hence, not much is at stake for Ruben Amorim’s side in this encounter, although a Premier League fixture against the Gunners is always a high-voltage game.
As per team news, Lisandro Martínez, Amad Diallo, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Jonny Evans, Altay Bayindir, Kobbie Mainoo and Tom Heaton are all unavailable for selection due to their injury problems.
Harry Maguire and Manuel Ugarte were sidelined last time out having picked up knocks vs Fulham last weekend. They may remain sidelined for this game as well.
This is going to be the second of the three-game domestic suspension that Patrick Dorgu has received after picking up a red card against Ipswich. So, he isn’t in contention to feature on Sunday. Chido Obi is available for this Premier League encounter.
Expected Man Utd lineup vs Arsenal
Amorim could make four changes to his starting Xl from midweek’s draw against La Real but Andre Onana is set to be in goal.
Victor Lindelof might be called upon to start in the RCB position, while Matthijs de Ligt is likely to commence in the middle. Former Arsenal youngster, Ayden Heaven, may get the nod to start on the left to give Leny Yoro a breather before next week’s Europa League second leg.
Toby Collyer is likely to replace Casemiro in the engine room, while Bruno Fernandes might be alongside the Englishman. Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot should be the two wing-backs.
After putting his name on the scoresheet last time out, Joshua Zirkzee could continue in the No.10 position and Alejandro Garnacho would be alongside the Dutchman in the AM roles.
Another ex-Gunner, Chido Obi, is expected to make his first start for Man Utd to give Rasmus Hojlund a rest. Here’s the predicted Man Utd lineup vs Arsenal:
