Nuno Tavares initially came in to replace Tierney in the XI, after the Scotsman got injured in October.

But whilst he was away, Arsenal’s summer signing has flourished and has produced some outstanding performances, including against Newcastle last time out. 

Despite that, there are some sections of the Arsenal support who feel it’s now time for Tierney to return to the XI ahead of this heavyweight showdown. 

Tavares did struggle at Anfield against Liverpool a fortnight ago, but in truth, so did the rest of his teammates.

But with a busy fixture list coming up, added with Tierney’s experience, Arsenal fans want their £25 million player (Sky Sports) unleashed onto a morale-sapped Manchester United team.

If Tierney does start then he will more than likely come up against the recently rejuvenated Jadon Sancho.

The England international has struggled since his big-money summer move from Borussia Dortmund.

But he has found the back of the net in back-to-back games and is starting to showcase why so much money was paid for him.
