ARSENAL, MAN U FA CUP CLASH: WHO’S IN; WHO’S OUT?
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is expected back in training this week but Friday’s clash against former side Manchester United may come too soon for the Armenian.
Héctor Bellerín has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a serious knee injury, meaning Stephan Lichtsteiner or Ainsley Maitland-Niles will deputise for the Spaniard.
Mesut Ozil has been in and out of the team all season but will hope to feature against United on Friday night.
Unai Emery has not been afraid to play the kids in cup competitions this season but it remains to be seen whether he will employ this tactic against United.
Chris Smalling has returned to training but will not be considered until next week at the very earliest.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has ruled out Marcos Rojo and Marouane Fellaini for Friday night’s FA Cup fourth round trip to Arsenal.
Alexis Sanchez has been tipped to start against his former club, while Romelu Lukaku may also get a rare start here.
Luke Shaw has overcome an illness that ruled him out of Saturday’s 2-1 win over Brighton and should start here.
We also expect some changes to Solskjaer’s usual XI, with Eric Bailly also now available after serving a three-match ban.
Check out the possible line up below:
