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.

    My team just can't get a slack. Just as Dorgu seemed to emerge as a starting OOP then hammy pops.

    Just as I put Dorgu in my starting 11 for next week he immediately does his hamstring.

    FYI if you benched Dorgu, don’t worry, under my new rules you would have had him sub in for Foden or Haaland as they played less than 45 minutes!
