Manchester United, who lie eighth, are looking to bounce back from their defeat at West Ham United and secure a third victory of the season.

Arsenal, who are four places and three points ahead of their hosts, are aiming for a second consecutive win after coming from behind with 10 men to beat Aston Villa on Sunday.

Team news

Paul Pogba (ankle) and Marcus Rashford (groin) are doubts for Manchester United who are without injured players Anthony Martial, Phil Jones, Eric Bailly, Tim Fosu-Mensah, Diogo Dalot and Angel Gomes.

Luke Shaw is fast-recovering from a thigh problem, though, and has a chance of featuring.

Arsenal could play Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney for the first time in the Premier League after the full-backs returned from long-term injuries in the Carabao Cup.

Dinos Mavropanos is available having built up his fitness but Alexandre Lacazette (ankle) has been joined on the sidelines by Emile Smith Rowe (head).
