Arsenal have received a huge boost for their game against Manchester United at Old Trafford this afternoon, with Aaron Ramsdale, Martin Odegaard and Oleksandr Zinchenko included in the starting XI.
Both Ramsdale and Odegaard were injury doubts for the clash after picking up knocks against Aston Villa in midweek. Ramsdale felt a niggle in his leg, while Odegaard had to be replaced by Emile Smith Rowe after sustaining a knock. However, Mikel Arteta has named his goalkeeper and captain in his team to face Erik ten Hag's side.
Zinchenko has missed out on the last two matchday squads and Arteta revealed on Friday that he hadn't been involved in training recently, but the Ukraine international starts in Manchester.
Here's how Arsenal fans on social media reacted to the team news.
@holliexharvey: "So pleased Zinny’s back! COYG."
@Nebraskangooner: "Would prefer Zinny in mid over Sambi, and Tierney LB, but can't complain too much with this line up."
@Chambo_afc: "It seems like as long as we are winning the starting XI won‘t ever change. And you can‘t blame Mikel. Never change a winning team."
@Klarence_o: "The God of injuries has smiled on us."
@TylerAFC__: "What a team, make us proud lads."
@JordanWSmith21: "Perfection."
@rehnato: "A Thomas Partey away from our best XI probably. Great team. Up the Arsenal."
@4TheArsenal_: "Love that side. Let’s go lads."
