The penultimate match of Gameweek 23 sees Arsenal take on Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

Cristhian Mosquera, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Mikel Merino and Eberechi Eze drop to the bench.

The front three consequently remains unchanged, with Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard flanking Gabriel Jesus, who scored two goals at the San Siro on Tuesday.

      Under my new rules mate you’d get them both subbed in, because of minutes.

      Yet everyone dislikes it, bizarre, they must hate points 😆

    why can't Arsenal just shoot at goal. Find a corner, and aim for it. It's been like this for 20 years.

    Team is a mess, really need to use my WC on gw24. But do we need to save it for a double gameweek further down the line? Whats the strategy? Im a bit lost this season with it all. Will it hurt me using now?

    Eze is actually playing really poorly, he will be staying out of the team with performances like this.

      I would say so yes. I have both and will start Cunha if we hear Dorgu is out. Cunha could be as good as Mbeumo and so I may just roll
