Arsenal face a real acid test tomorrow night as they make the trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.

The Red Devils are five points worse off than the Gunners but will be buoyed after the appointment of Ralf Rangnick was announced.

The new interim boss won’t be in charge tomorrow but clearly, his arrival will have lifted the team’s spirits.

Arsenal shouldn’t be fazed though. Mikel Arteta has overseen some good form of late and they will fancy going toe-to-toe with United.

Ahead of tonight’s game, we looked at how Arsenal might line up at Old Trafford.

The Arsenal rearguard

Aaron Ramsdale is a man in form and he will almost certainly continue to keep Bernd Leno out of the goal.

At the back, there could be just one change. Takehiro Tomiyasu, Gabriel and Ben White should all start.

Kieran Tierney could return in place of Nuno Tavares, however, after the £75,000-a-week man missed the weekend game against Newcastle.

The Gunners engine room

There is unlikely to be any changes from Saturday here.

Thomas Partey and Albert Sambi Lokonga formed a good partnership and both players should keep their places.

Granit Xhaka remains sidelined with a knee problem.

Firing Arsenal to glory

Bukayo Saka could be a big miss for the Gunners against United. He was forced out of action on Saturday and could be set for a spell on the sidelines.

Gabriel Martinelli scored from the bench on Saturday and he could be in line for a Premier League start against the Red Devils.

Martin Odegaard will start in the number 10, Emile Smith Rowe on the left and upfront Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will hope to score for the first time since October.
