Arsenal XI vs Manchester United: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injuries for Premier League today

Arsenal are without Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori as they face Manchester United in north London tonight.

The Gunners had to cope Mikel Merino, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Thomas Partey for Saturday’s win at West Ham, while Gabriel was forced off at half-time.

The Brazilian was therefore a doubt for this crucial match and he has not been passed fit. Calafiori also misses out as Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior start in defence.

Manager Mikel Arteta was coy when updating reporters on his players during Tuesday’s pre-match press conference.

“We’re gonna have a meeting this afternoon,” he said. “We have done a training session.

“We monitored and kept some players away from certain activities. After that meeting I will decide which ones are fit and available and who will start. They all want to play.”

Arteta is still without Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu when his side host Manchester United this midweek. The full-backs are both out with knee injuries and are not close to returning to action.

Arsenal have won three games on the spin since returning from last month’s international break and they have scored 13 goals in that time. As a result, Arteta may well be reluctant to change a winning team.

Gabriel Martinelli comes back into the side on the left flank, though, in place of Leandro Trossard.

Thomas Partey returns at the base of midfield - even though Jorginho excelled in his absence against West Ham.

Arsenal XI: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Partey, Rice, Odegaard, Martinelli, Saka, Havertz.

Subs: Neto, Tierney, Heaven, Jorginho, Merino, Nwaneri, Trossard, Sterling, Jesus.

Venue: Emirates Stadium
