Man Utd v Arsenal: Gunners duo set to miss out, United have injury concerns

Mesut Ozil is unlikely to be available for Arsenal’s trip to Manchester United.

Ozil did not train with the first team on Monday, and has been ruled out of Arsenal’s last two matches with a back problem.

Granit Xhaka is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season in the victory against Tottenham.

Nacho Monreal (hamstring), Konstantinos Mavropanos (groin) and Danny Welbeck (ankle) remain sidelined.

Provisional squad: Leno, Cech, Bellerin, Lichtsteiner, Holding, Mustafi, Papastathopoulos, Kolasinac, Maitland-Niles, Elneny, Torreira, Guendouzi, Ramsey, Smith Rowe, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Lacazette, Aubameyang, Nketiah.

Ashley Young is unavailable for Manchester United due to suspension as question marks hang over a number of Jose Mourinho’s players.

That includes Romelu Lukaku and Luke Shaw, both of whom came off with knocks in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Southampton.

Marcus Rashford, having also been substituted, was backed after the game by boss Mourinho to be fit for this contest.

Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly, Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian were not part of the matchday squad at St Mary’s, along with Alexis Sanchez (hamstring) and Victor Lindelof (muscular injury), a pair who will definitely miss out again.

Provisional squad: De Gea, Romero, Bailly, Jones, Smalling, Rojo, Dalot, Shaw, Valencia, Darmian, Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Pereira, Fred, Herrera, Fellaini, Matic, McTominay, Lukaku, Rashford, Martial.
