Arsenal reignite one of the Premier League’s great rivalries on Thursday evening as they head to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.
Neither side is the force they once were, but it’s fair to say that the Gunners will fancy their chances of getting something against the Red Devils in midweek.
Indeed, the London club have lost just one of their last 10 Premier League games, while United have won just one of their last seven matches.
However, you can never write off Manchester United, especially when they have Cristiano Ronaldo in their squad.
We’ve had a go at predicting how Arsenal will line-up for this one.
We think that Arsenal won’t make too many changes to the side that won against Newcastle at the weekend.
We’re actually predicting just one change to that team as Gabriel Martinelli comes in for Bukayo Saka who is a doubt for this match after picking up an injury over the weekend.
Martinelli gets the nod after his goal against Newcastle, meaning that Nicolas Pepe once again starts on the bench, despite the fact the 26-year-old is the club’s record signing.
Another interesting decision Arteta has to make is at left-back, Nuno Tavares and Kieran Tierney are both battling for that spot, but after a number of bright performances, we expect Tavares to get the nod here.
