As a result, youngster Ethan Nwaneri has been given more opportunities, but Arsenal have failed to score in their last two league games.

Manchester United, meanwhile, have had a disappointing run of form, having not put in a dominant league performance since their 4-0 win over Everton – four months ago. 

Their inconsistent displays have left them trailing far behind the top teams. 

That said, United have shown an ability to rise to the occasion against elite opposition, giving fans hope that they might make things difficult for Arsenal.

Before Sunday’s showdown at Old Trafford, Manchester City will kick off the weekend’s action on Saturday lunchtime, travelling to face a high-flying Nottingham Forest side. 

Later in the day, Premier League leaders Liverpool will aim to extend their dominance when they take on struggling Southampton at Anfield. 

A victory for the Reds could open up a 16-point gap on Arsenal before Mikel Arteta’s men even step onto the pitch.

Elsewhere, Crystal Palace face Ipswich, Fulham head to Brighton, and Brentford take on Aston Villa in an intriguing set of fixtures on Saturday. 

On Sunday, before United and Arsenal take centre stage, Chelsea host Leicester, and Tottenham welcome Bournemouth in two highly competitive clashes.
