Arsenal XI vs Manchester United: Starting lineup, confirmed team news and injuries

Arsenal are unchanged for the fourth game in a row after Bukayo Saka was declared fit to face Manchester United today.

Saka sustained a gash to his left shin in last weekend’s 3-0 win over Bournemouth and trained with a bandage on his leg during the week.

Mikel Arteta said on Friday that Saka was a doubt to face United - but the winger has demonstrated his robustness this season by making the starting XI.

Arsenal also had fitness concerns over Takehiro Tomiyasu after he was absent from a team session at London Colney this week and instead worked indoors.

But with Saka and Tomiyasu available, Arteta has named the same starting XI for the fourth match in a row.

Most of the Arsenal team has picked itself during the run-in, with Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice and Thomas Partey starting in midfield. Kai Havertz will continue to lead the line, while Leandro Trossard is preferred ahead of Gabriel Martinelli on the left.

Jurrien Timber has travelled to Manchester as the extra man in the squad but is not on the bench as he seeks a first-team return following his serious knee injury on the opening weekend.

Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Trossard

Subs: Ramsdale, Zinchenko, Kiwior, Jorginho, Vieira, Smith Rowe, Martinelli, Jesus, Nketiah
