Manchester United host Arsenal in the Premier League tonight.

United go with David de Gea in goal, behind a back four of Axel Tuanzebe, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Ashley Young, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka out.

Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba start in midfield, with Andreas Pereira, Jesse Lingard and Daniel James ahead of them tonight.

Marcus Rashford is passed fit to play, and leads the attack having picked up an injury against West Ham United last weekend.

Youngster Brandon Williams is on the bench, alongside Mason Greenwood, Juan Mata, Fred, Nemanja Matic, Marcos Rojo and Sergio Romero.

Meanwhile, Arsenal start with Bernd Leno in goal, and give Calum Chambers a chance at right back in place of Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

David Luiz and Sokratis Papastathopoulos continue at centre back, with Sead Kolasinac keeping his place at left back despite Kieran Tierney building up his fitness.

Lucas Torreira, Granit Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi form a hard-working central midfield trio, whilst Bukayo Saka is given another chance out wide having been sacrificed against Aston Villa last week when Maitland-Niles was sent off.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leads the line, with Nicolas Pepe operating on the right again, but there is no place for Dani Ceballos as he drops to the bench.

Rob Holding is also named as a substitute tonight, alongside Emiliano Martinez, Joe Willock, Gabriel Martinelli, Reiss Nelson and Maitland-Niles.
