Mikel Arteta "dancing around his living room" after Erik ten Hag gamble backfires

Jamie Redknapp claimed Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta would have been "dancing around his living room" when Manchester United midfielder Casemiro picked up a yellow card that will now rule him out of Sunday's showdown.

The two teams meet at the Emirates this weekend in a clash that could have a huge impact on the title race, but United failed to make ground on the Gunners with their 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace on Wednesday evening. Bruno Fernandes fired the Red Devils in front, but a 91st minue Michael Olise free-kick broke United hearts.

It also robbed Erik ten Hag's side of the chance to leapfrog local rivals Manchester City into second and close the gap with table-toppers Arsenal. However, his main concern will be how he sets up against the Gunners without his main-man in midfield.
