Manchester United and Arsenal are set to renew their rivalry this season as the two English giants cross swords in Old Trafford for the first time this season. Both the teams had contrasting starts as the Gunners are on a roll at the moment having remained unbeaten for 16 games in a row across all competitions.

While hosts Manchester United are still finding their feet under new manager Jose Mourinho as they have mixed results so far this season. However, the game against Arsenal will show the level the Red Devils have reached this season as they are ready for the stern test against an in-form Arsenal.

The match will not only see one of the fiercest rivalry between the clubs but also the rivalry between Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho as both the managers are not fond of each other over the past few years.

Here we look at the potential lineups for both the clubs in the high profile match of the weekend.

Manchester United

The hosts have a number of absentees compared to Gunners as their main scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic is suspended for the game. While Centre backs Chris Smalling and Eric Bailly are ruled out due to injuries.

Right-back Antonio Valencia will also miss due to broken arm while Marouane Fellaini has suffered a calf injury in their last game against Swansea City. This meant Jose Mourinho would be forced to make a number of changes to his squad for the game.

Manchester United (4-1-4-1): de Gea, Jones, Blind, Rojo, Darmian, Carrick, Herrera, Mata, Pogba, Lingard, Rashford

Arsenal

Arsenal have their fair share of injuries but the only major change that could happen would be Hector Bellerin who is ruled out for four weeks due to ankle injury. Midfielder Santi Cazorla is also ruled out as he is still recovering from the Achilles injury he suffered against Ludogorets in the Champions League.

Striker Lucas Perez will also miss the game due to ankle injury. Long term absentees Per Mertesacker and Danny Welbeck will also be not present in the squad for Old Trafford.
