Analysis and prediction for MU vs Arsenal: Shoot down the Red Devils.

Latest Manchester United vs Arsenal team news

Amorim received no good news regarding injury situations at Friday's pre-match press conference, confirming that both Harry Maguire and Manuel Ugarte are unlikely to recover in time to feature against Arsenal.

Both are expected to be among Manchester United's 11-man squad that includes Amad Diallo (ankle), Lisandro Martinez (knee), Kobbie Mainoo (calf), Jonny Evans (back), Luke Shaw (hamstring), Mason Mount (hamstring), Altay Bayindir (unspecified injury) and Tom Heaton (unspecified injury), along with Patrick Dorgu who is suspended.

With Dorgu suspended and Maguire unavailable, Amorim will most likely have to field Victor Lindelof in the Premier League starting lineup for the first time this season, unless he decides to take a risk with Ayden Heaven, the former Arsenal youth player.

Heaven is one of two former Arsenal players who could feature to prove themselves against their old club, alongside Chido Obi – who impressed in the domestic cup defeat to Fulham but may not be ready to start in such an important match.

On Arsenal's side, the personnel situation remains largely unchanged, with Gabriel Martinelli (hamstring), Bukayo Saka (hamstring), Kai Havertz (hamstring), Gabriel Jesus (knee), and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) still unavailable.

Young talent Myles Lewis-Skelly left the field early in the dominant victory against PSV, but this was a tactical decision to avoid a red card, not related to injury. Therefore, his availability for Sunday's match will not be affected.

Up front, Mikel Merino is expected to continue playing as the number 9 amidst Arsenal's personnel struggles up front. He will partner Ethan Nwaneri and Leandro Trossard – who is aiming to become the third Arsenal player after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Emmanuel Adebayor to score in two consecutive Premier League games at Old Trafford.

Latest predicted lineups for MU vs Arsenal

Arsenal:

Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard

Latest Manchester United vs Arsenal football match prediction

A young manager from the Iberian Peninsula, leading one of England's most historic clubs, yet struggling to make immediate changes – this is a common thread between the two teams facing each other on Sunday. However, Ruben Amorim admits he is unlikely to receive the same patience that Mikel Arteta enjoyed at Arsenal.

While Arteta has the time and resources to turn Arsenal into a title contender, Amorim may not be granted that privilege if Manchester United continue to sink deeper into crisis. Their domestic situation is even bleaker than the numbers on the league table reflect.

Manchester United are currently 14th in the Premier League and were knocked out of the FA Cup last weekend by Fulham – along with former goalkeeper Bernd Leno. This means their last hope of salvaging their season now rests on the Europa League.

The 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad in the first leg of the round of 16 on Thursday gives Man United a slight advantage going into the second leg, but their form has been unimpressive, winning only two of their last seven matches in all competitions. The wins against Ipswich Town and Leicester City were also unconvincing.

Furthermore, the 20-time English champions have yet to win two consecutive Premier League matches this season and have conceded at least two goals in six of their last seven games at Old Trafford. Nevertheless, if they can overcome these inconsistencies, the home side will have a chance to reach their 100th victory against Arsenal in their head-to-head history.

While Manchester United are aiming for their 100th win against Arsenal, Arteta will reach the milestone of 200 games in charge of Arsenal in the Premier League. The Spanish manager is seeking his 119th career victory in England's top flight.

Only Sir Alex Ferguson, Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho, and Jurgen Klopp have ever won more than 118 games in their first 200 Premier League matches. However, unlike them, Arteta still has no league title in hand – something he and Arsenal are still yearning for.

Arteta's title dreams look set to be further delayed, as Arsenal are 13 points behind league leaders Liverpool following defeats to Nottingham Forest and West Ham United. If Liverpool win against Southampton on Saturday, that gap could widen to 16 points.

However, Arsenal stunned everyone with a 7-1 demolition of PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, setting a new record for the most goals scored in an away knockout match. With this form, they are ready to face Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.

Arteta's in-form attack will need to maintain its sharpness if Arsenal want to continue their impressive run of results against Man United. The Gunners have won all four of their most recent Premier League encounters with the Red Devils, including a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford last season.

Arsenal have only 90 minutes left to secure their first consecutive win at Old Trafford since 1979. However, their defeat to Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup in January remains a point of reference for the home side, offering a glimmer of hope for the Red Devils and their rivals in Merseyside.
