Arsenal can further stake their claim as Premier League title favourites when they welcome Manchester United to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Main title rivals Manchester City closed the gap to five points with a win over Tottenham on Thursday and Pep Guardiola's side can reduce the deficit between the two teams down to just two points if they beat Wolves just before the Gunners do battle with United.
Erik ten Hag's men are coming off the back of a demoralising midweek result after Michael Olise snatched a point for Crystal Palace in stoppage time with a stunning free-kick. Casemiro also picked up his fifth yellow card and therefore will be suspended for the encounter in north London.
Mikel Arteta may be able to call on proposed new arrival Leandro Trossard, who faces a race against time to be registered as an Arsenal player before the deadline of 12pm on Friday. Nonetheless, the Spaniard will fancy his teams chances, despite United's impressive form since the return of domestic football after the World Cup.
