Man Utd predicted lineup vs Arsenal - Premier League

Manchester United welcome familiar adversaries Arsenal to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The Red Devils will be fearing the worst ahead of their battle with the Gunners, entering the fixture in patchy form - to put it kindly. They are still slumped in the bottom half of the table and desperately searching for some consistency ahead of the March international break.

United have won just one of their last four Premier League games and will have their work cut out to conquer the division's second-best side this season. Arsenal put seven past PSV Eindhoven in midweek to boost morale and will be keen to secure a second straight victory at Old Trafford.

Here is how the Red Devils could line up on Sunday.

Man Utd predicted lineup vs Arsenal (3-4-2-1)

GK: Andre Onana - The Cameroon international saved United at the death against Real Sociedad on Thursday night and he's likely to be busy at Old Trafford should Arsenal build on their excellent attacking display in the Champions League.

CB: Leny Yoro - Yoro has not been immaculate since arriving at United but is at least earning plenty of game time in an injury-stricken backline. The 19-year-old will learn masses from his debut season in English football.

CB: Matthijs de Ligt - With Harry Maguire unlikely to be passed fit for Sunday's encounter, De Ligt may be the deepest member of United's back three. He's impressed in recent outings and will be tested by makeshift centre-forward Mikel Merino.

CB: Victor Lindelof - With Noussair Mazraoui pushed out wide due to Patrick Dorgu's suspension and injuries to Maguire and Lisandro Martinez, the lesser-spotted Lindelof could make a rare start.

RM: Diogo Dalot - Dalot felt the wrath of Rasmus Hojlund midweek after failing to supply the forward but did play a part in Joshua Zirkzee's strike is San Sebastian.

CM: Bruno Fernandes - Fernandes has been the saving grace for United in recent weeks and will be key to unlocking the sternest defence in the Premier League. He will have to monitor the likes of Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard in the other half, too.

CM: Casemiro - The Brazilian should fill in for the injured Manuel Ugarte once more, with Casemiro's ageing legs put to the test by the energy of Arsenal's midfield. It could be a long afternoon for the 33-year-old.

LM: Noussair Mazraoui - Dorgu's suspension will see Mazraoui fill the void on the left-hand side, with the Morocco international needing to be at his best to stifle livewire Ethan Nwaneri.

RF: Joshua Zirkzee - A rare moment of redemption came Zirkzee's way midweek as he opened the scoring against Real Sociedad and he will want to build on that confidence boost against Arsenal - whom he scored the winning penalty against in the FA Cup third round.

ST: Rasmus Hojlund - Hojlund's goalless streak was extended to 19 matches on Thursday and he would give anything to get on the scoresheet against Arsenal. It appears unlikely based on his current form and lack of service.

LF: Alejandro Garnacho - The youngster could be a threat on the counter-attack against Arsenal but he's also low on confidence as he's now 22 games without hitting the net.
