Expected lineup Arsenal vs MU: Gunners lose many key players
The Premier League round 14 match between Arsenal vs MU took place at Emirates, with many personnel changes and opportunities for both teams.
The match between Arsenal vs MU in the early morning of December 5 in round 14 of the Premier League 2024/25 promises to be very exciting. Arsenal is maintaining strong form, while Manchester United just had an impressive 4-0 victory over Everton. However, coach Ruben Amorim's team will face a big challenge when traveling to Emirates.
Arsenal: Injuries and notable changes
Arsenal will go into this game with a number of squad concerns. Mikel Arteta's side will be without Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu due to knee problems. Gabriel Magalhães, Mikel Merino, and Thomas Partey are all still doubtful. If Gabriel does not recover in time, Jakub Kiwior will replace him at centre-back. However, Arsenal still have a strong squad with the excellent Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard, and Gabriel Martinelli.
Arsenal are currently level with Liverpool in the table, with impressive form at the Emirates, where they are yet to lose a game this season. This game will be an opportunity for Arsenal to maintain their winning streak and continue to threaten the top spot.
Manchester United: Newcomer Yoro returns, Bruno Fernandes is ready
Manchester United, despite their poor away record, have just had a strong revival with a resounding 4-0 victory over Everton. New coach Ruben Amorim received good news that Bruno Fernandes, Man United captain, has recovered and is fit to play in this important match. Along with that, new central defender Leny Yoro is also ready to play after a long time of injury treatment.
Yoro, who was signed by United from Lille for £52 million, suffered a serious injury in a pre-season friendly and was out for three months. However, after returning to training, coach Amorim confirmed that Yoro was fit to play in the squad. The young talent stands out for his speed and 1v1 ability, promising to be an important addition to United's defense.
In addition, Man United will be without the services of Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo due to suspension, while injuries to Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof could keep them absent.
Head-to-head history: Arsenal dominates
Arsenal are unbeaten at the Emirates this season and have a superior home record. Manchester United, despite their impressive wins, have not won at the Emirates since January 2019. This game is an opportunity for Arsenal to consolidate their top spot and continue to threaten Liverpool, while Manchester United will need points to improve their chances of competing for a top four finish.
Predicted lineup
Arsenal (4-3-3): Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel (Kiwior), Zinchenko; Partey, Ødegaard, Rice; Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli.
