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

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Mikel Arteta makes four changes to the Arsenal side that beat Inter Milan in midweek.

Gabriel Magalhaes, Piero Hincapie, Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice all return.

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.

Michael Carrick sticks with the same team that beat Manchester City in the derby, with Bryan Mbeumo once again leading the line.

  15. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    2 days, 5 hours ago

    They just showed a video showing 100% off Martinez. Won’t be a Timber goal

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 days, 5 hours ago

      You are referring to an angle where you can't see timber's foot

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 days, 5 hours ago

      Exactly

      It's an OG

  16. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    2 days, 5 hours ago

    Typical. Utd should be 2-1 up now

  17. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    2 days, 5 hours ago

    1. Mother Farke
      • 1 Year
      2 days, 5 hours ago

      Saliba v good

  18. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    2 days, 5 hours ago

    How is that a Martinez OG.... Timber got the final touch

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 days, 5 hours ago

      Nah

      Off his heal

      1. FPL Sanky
        • 2 Years
        2 days, 5 hours ago

        So u saying timber didn't touch the ball.... should have got an assist atleast for that

  19. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 days, 5 hours ago

  20. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 days, 5 hours ago

    Defo OG Martinez

  21. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
    • 5 Years
    2 days, 5 hours ago

    Ffs

  22. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 days, 5 hours ago

    OG given

  23. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 days, 5 hours ago

    They only gave an OG because of a dodgy camera angle and a close-up on Martinez after the goal

    1. tuturututu
      • 5 Years
      2 days, 5 hours ago

      There were other angles shown later that clearly show Martinez back heel hitting the ball into the net

    2. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 days, 5 hours ago

      Nope

  24. Effe
    • 15 Years
    2 days, 5 hours ago

  27. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    2 days, 5 hours ago

    Bruno points dodging as usual...

  28. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    2 days, 5 hours ago

    The last view they showed made it look pretty clear that it was scored by a red sock boot

  29. Towsor44
    • 13 Years
    2 days, 5 hours ago

    Definitely an OG

  30. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    2 days, 5 hours ago

    Timber is so alpha. Always shows up in big games.
