*Official Match Thread* - Arsenal v Manchester United 4:30pm

Arsenal's Lucas Torreira begins a three-game ban after losing an appeal against his dismissal versus Tottenham.

Striker Alexandre Lacazette returns after missing Thursday's Europa League defeat in Rennes through suspension.

Anthony Martial is available after a groin injury for Manchester United, who were without 10 players against Paris St-Germain in midweek.

Eric Bailly has recovered from a heavy challenge in that game, while Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera could be fit.

Paul Pogba is available after serving a European suspension.

Draw would be fine.

Win would be massive.

I think it'll be the former

Bailly should be nowhere near the squad. ****er

Yeah would take a draw.

Will make up the points for fourth.

Or we’ll just have to win the CL

Think we're gonna be pretty f***ed after the other night and Arsenal are in decent form.

We won't keep winning every away and winning twice there in one season is a big ask.

Pleased some players are back.

1-1.

Just got tw*tted by Rennes though tbf.

already won convincingly at their place this season, we're capable of doing it again. do that and it would be huge as we'd be level on points with spurs who appear to be in the midst of a collapse.

2-1 united.

2-1 arsenal

The last few weeks will catch us up.

Unless we have any returning players who need to have big games.

1-3 come on you reds

Take 1-0 right now.

Too much of a come down.

2-0 arse

Wheels > off

We'll win because we simply have a lot more momentum than Arsenal.

All eyes on us again, Martial, Matic and Pogba back, I think we deliver.

2-0 United

Would love a Matic-Fred-Pogba midfield trio today.

We're on a high after midweek & they got beat midweek.

We've got players returning from injury/suspension & yesterdays Spurs result is just added motivation to our current momentum.

United win 3-1

Pogba must be desperate for a big game having missed out on Weds - fancy him for a couple. Lukaku bass kissing with confidence can bully the Arsenal defence.

Good to have some midfield cover back - bench will look very different.
