Arsenal are aiming for a fifth consecutive Premier League win over Manchester United to keep their fading title hopes flickering.
The Gunners headed into this weekend 13 points shy of leaders Liverpool with a game in hand, a sapping situation given how high hopes were a few months ago. But all these things are relative.
United sat 14th at the start of the matchweek and have only won three top-flight games since their penalty shootout triumph over Mikel Arteta’s side at the Emirates Stadium in January.
An ongoing injury crisis means any sort of turnaround on Sunday would rank as a stunning upset for increasingly scrutinised head coach Ruben Amorim.

Man United vs. Arsenal lineups, team news
United’s injury woes remain considerable and Amorim said he was unsure whether Harry Maguire or Manuel Ugarte would be ready to return after sitting out against Real Sociedad.
Former Arsenal youngster Chido Odi was ineligible in midweek but is an option to freshen up United’s lacklustre attack.
Patrick Dorgu remains suspended following his red card against Ipswich Town, meaning Noussair Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot are set to start in the wing-back positions. As the weighty absentee list below demonstrates, there isn’t really anyone else.

Arsenal still have their plethora of attacking absentees, with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz on the sidelines.
Mikel Arteta substituted Myles Lewis-Skelly as the teenage full-back diced with a red card in Eindhoven. Given he’s already been dismissed twice this season in the Premier League — albeit with one of those rescinded — the Gunners boss could opt for Riccardo Calafiori for this high-profile occasion.
