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

    Nketiah was just about to be subbed for Holding. Will be Saka off now.

  2. PartyTime

    Chelsea will feast on this Utd team

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

      With the state of Chelseas defence it could go either way. Expecting a high scoring match on both sides

    2. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
      • 12 Years

      Werner, Mount, Havertz and Pulisic counter attacks. Very dangerous for Man U

  3. Yankee Toffee
    • 10 Years

  4. Rainer

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Relieved as a seller. Could have had 30 points in first half alone.

    2. Jock Grealish
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

  9. jacob1989

    How is ronaldo above saka on bps? Compensation bcoz he didn't take the penalty?

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

      Forward goal BPS greater than midfielders. Ronaldo also created some good chances too

    2. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      forwards get more bap points for goals
      saka might've lost a few for misses too

  10. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      should've been red last week too imo for kick on trent, was petulant as per

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

    Genuinely more fearful of Lingard than the rest of United's forward, besides maybe Sancho

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

    VAR red surely

  26. Dammit_182
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    KDB starts. Anyone who brought Sterling in can start licking their lips though…

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      1. Dammit_182
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He was the FH play methinks. Good luck with it!

  27. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Josh King starting is bad news for Man City defence owners

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

  28. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Phew, Sterling, KDB and Cancelo start. I mean I was confident of it after Wednesday night but doubt always creeps in

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

      Yes... After Saka beating Nketiah, need them to haul.
