A busy Saturday of Premier League football begins with Arsenal v Manchester United.

Kick-off at the Emirates is at 12:30 BST.

Mikel Arteta makes just one change to his starting XI, with Cedric Soares replacing Rob Holding in defence.

That means Eddie Nketiah keeps his place after scoring twice in Arsenal’s 4-2 win at Chelsea in Gameweek 33.

Gabriel Martinelli and Alexandre Lacazette, meanwhile, have to settle for bench roles once again, alongside the returning Takehiro Tomiyasu.

The line-up suggests the Gunners will revert to a back-four system, which will please Bukayo Saka owners after he was deployed as a wing-back in midweek.

For the visitors, Cristiano Ronaldo returns as Ralf Rangnick responds to the heavy loss at Anfield by making five changes.

Harry Maguire, Phil Jones, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford all drop out, with Raphael Varane, Alex Telles, Scott McTominay, Jadon Sancho and Ronaldo coming in.


GAMEWEEK 34 LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tavares, Elneny, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe, Nketiah

Subs: Leno, Tomiyasu, Holding, Swanson, Lokonga, Azeez, Pepe, Martinelli, Lacazette

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Varane, Telles, McTominay, Matic, Elanga, Fernandes, Sancho, Ronaldo

Subs: Henderson, Bailly, Jones, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka, Lingard, Mata, Garnacho, Rashford

    Elanga down in the box

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Could have easily won a penalty there if he was streetwise

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not seen a Utd player run that fast for a while

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Elanga looks great! Happy first time buyer

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Was close to getting him myself. Very

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Same...

    4. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If that were salah, penalty for sure

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Salah would have been smart enough to win the foul

        • Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah, Salah would have been wise enough to win one in that situation

        Bruno is awful just now isn’t he?

        1. tokara
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Like most player after penning new contract

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Price drop for next season will be tasty if CR7 goes and they get a younger striker

          • Rainer
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Remember when people thought he was better than KDB 😆

        3. DAZZ
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Is it me or does Saka still look like he’s struggling a bit?

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            A little. Issue in warmup. Gone down a couple of times too

          2. Deulofail
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Looks like he hurt his little chilly

        4. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          United escaped a couple of yellows already

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Like Schmeichel did??

            1. Deulofail
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Opta bug, no cards given. Game will end in murder as the players gradually discover there are no laws

        5. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Odegaard wastes Nketiah assist 😛

        6. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Odebaaared

          1. Deulofail
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

        7. TyroneGAA
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          How was that not a pen

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Ridiculous decision

              1. TyroneGAA
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                He 100% meant to block that with his arm

            • Rainer
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              VARsenal

          2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Dalot hits the bar

          3. JBG
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            What the actual f***????

          4. Zimo
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Damn Dalot

          5. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Dalot bar from Bruno pass.

          6. CoracAld2831
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I went with all of Havertz, Mount and Werner and ignored both James & Alonso in the end, because i got sick of the dilemma/indecisiveness i was having on who to pick between all of them.

            Very risky and left me with a horrible bench, but hopefully it all works out.

            1. Arteta
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Same here. All 5 are great options for this DGW.

          7. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            3 years, 8 months ago

            Cedric needs removing asap

          9. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Arsenal been terrible

          10. Steve The Spud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            De gea looking likely to haul at all?

          11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Nketiah misses a big chance

          12. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            How’s Nketiah missed that

            1. Paul Psychic Octopus
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              No composure

            2. Zimo
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              He lashed at it instead of placing it. Mark of an inexperienced player

          13. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Eddie regressing to the norm.

            Huge miss from Ode pass.

          14. g40steve
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Eddie SOT

          15. Deulofail
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Needed to be a bit Dalot-er

          16. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Nketiah should have scored!

          17. ZimZalabim
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            nketiah misses a sitter

          18. Rainer
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Laca scores th... never mind!

            1. Deulofail
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Haha I feel like that was the exact shot Laca would have done. Expect a better-placed slot from Nketiah

          19. Revival
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Arsenal defence looking extremely shaky now

          20. ZimZalabim
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            incredible lack of composure from Eddie

          21. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Hopefully martnelli comes on HY
