Arsenal XI vs Man Utd possible lineup, £42m star starts as Arteta makes one change…

Arsenal’s full squad is set as Mikel Arteta outlines his strategy ahead of the match against Manchester United.

As Arteta introduces one adjustment, a £42 million star is expected to feature in the predicted Arsenal XI for the match against Manchester United.

Calafiori steps in for Lewis-Skelly as Arteta makes a single adjustment to the predicted lineup for the clash with Manchester United.

As Arsenal embarks on their third consecutive away match, they aim to secure a double victory over Manchester United in this evening’s Premier League encounter at Old Trafford.

Although Mikel Arteta’s team has struggled in their recent league fixtures, their impressive 7-1 triumph over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League provides a boost of confidence for the manager as they face the Red Devils.

A win against Manchester United would solidify Arsenal’s position in the top four and keep their hopes alive for a title challenge, contingent on Liverpool’s performance in the remaining matches of the season.

Below is a preview of how the visitors might line up for this crucial matchday 28 fixture.

Goalkeeper – David Raya is anticipated to retain his position in goal.

Defenders – Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba have been outstanding in defense this season and are expected to continue as the central defensive pairing.

Additionally, Jurrien Timber is likely to be selected for the right-back position.

The £42 million summer acquisition, Riccardo Calafiori, may make his return to the starting eleven following a goal and an assist during his substitute appearance against PSV.

The Italian international is poised to take the place of Myles Lewis-Skelly.

Merino could once again spearhead the attack.

Midfielders – Thomas Partey is expected to maintain his role as a holding midfielder, while Declan Rice is likely to play alongside him, with the freedom to advance further up the pitch.

Martin Odegaard is anticipated to continue in the role of attacking midfielder.

Leandro Trossard and Ethan Nwaneri each found the net during the decisive victory over PSV Eindhoven, and both are expected to retain their positions on the left and right wings, respectively.

Mikel Merino, who contributed a goal and an assist in that match, may once again be favored as the central striker.
