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.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      2 days, 3 hours ago

      It’s a Odegaard assist either way

        Mbuemo our best signing since Bruno.

        1. Feanor
          • 16 Years
          2 days, 3 hours ago

          He was crap just before Afcon but maybe he hated the manager. Looks good now

            • 6 Years
            2 days, 3 hours ago

            He did go off the boil a bit but a really good player, very glad to have him at United.

        Timber owner here gone from visualising a lovely 15pter to a likely 1pter lol
        This game man

      • Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        2 days, 3 hours ago

        Bruno was the last Man Utd player to touch ot before Mbeumo. Assist for Bruno?

        1. Feanor
          • 16 Years
          2 days, 3 hours ago

          Come on man

      • Feanor
        • 16 Years
        2 days, 3 hours ago

        Bruno involved in picking the ball out of the back of the net

      • Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        2 days, 3 hours ago

        Now for Bruno

      • Kaneyonero
        • 9 Years
        2 days, 3 hours ago

        Awful for Timber owners

      • Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        2 days, 3 hours ago

        Zzz mbeumo could have set up Bruno on an open goal instead

      • Ignasi M
        • 8 Years
        2 days, 3 hours ago

        I have to say, United have looked more threatening. I think they want this more.

        1. Feanor
          • 16 Years
          2 days, 3 hours ago

          Gab goal Rice assist would suit me
