Arsenal legend tells Fred what he and Manchester United must do to stop Martin Odegaard

Martin Keown believes Fred must replicate his derby-day performance if he is to keep Martin Odegaard quiet when Manchester United travel to Arsenal on Sunday.

Erik ten Hag's side followed last Saturday's incredible 2-1 comeback win against Manchester City with a rather underwhelming draw at Crystal Palace on Wednesday. Two dropped points at Selhurst Park ended United's chance of leapfrogging their cross-city rivals into second - even if only for 24 hours - but victory on Sunday would pull all three leading horses to within five points of each other.

Michael Olise's injury-time free-kick was a blow, but the yellow card handed to Casemiro 10 minutes prior was almost as crushing. The Brazilian brought down Wilfried Zaha and received his fifth booking of the season, handing one of United's most crucial players a suspension for Sunday's trip to the Emirates.
