United lost their last Premier League fixture to Crystal Palace by an outrageous margin and will be hoping to return to winning ways when they take on the Gunners at Old Trafford.
Conversely, Arsenal, who have been on a sensational campaign this season, will head into the game with a fully fit squad.
With United manager Erik ten Hag facing an uncertain future at Old Trafford, the Dutchman will score a big point on his quest to secure his job with a win against the title-chasers.
Arsenal have only managed one win in their last 16 visits to Old Trafford and will count on their better form to put the struggling Old Trafford outfit to the sword.
