Man Utd is trying to stay close to 4th place, but even Van Gaal has admitted it will be hard to overtake Man City or any of the the top 3. However, a win against Arsenal could be enough to change this view and boost United’s hopes for Champions League qualification.
On Thursday, Van Gaal’s men won the return leg against Midtjyland, 5-1, with youngster Rashford scoring two (goals 2 and 3, not 4 and 5 that would look easier). Martial is a doubt, but goalkeeper David de Gea is expected to be back. Not that Romero did not do well…
United are waiting to see whether two other recent addition to their lengthy injury list, defenders Chris Smalling (shoulder) and Cameron Borthwick-Jackson (unspecified), are able to make their comebacks.
There are signs the injury crisis at Old Trafford may be easing somewhat, with the likes of Valencia and Januzaj are nearing returns, although they are doubtful for today’s game.
With leaders Leicester having beaten Norwich on Saturday, Arsene Wenger’s side finds themselves five points off the pace before kick-off.
The Gunners haven’t won in the Premier League at the Theatre of Dreams since September 2006. But they never had the current chances to win it either since then. They lost six of their last eight Premier League trips to Old Trafford (0-2-6).
Arsenal have dropped 7 points from winning positions away from home, the joint-most in the Premier League along with Man Utd. They have kept 5 clean sheets in their last 8 Premier League matches.
Oxlade-Chamberlain is injured. Wenger confirmed the England midfielder will play no part on Sunday and is expected to be sidelined for the next weeks. Gunners defender Gabriel will undergo a fitness test ahead of the game, while Wilshere, Cazorla and Rosicky are all still missing.
The Gunners’ win against United at the Emirates earlier this season ended a run of eight Premier League matches without a victory against the Red Devils for Arsene Wenger’s men (W0 D3 L5).
Maybe it’s time…
