Manchester United will travel to Arsenal without Luke Shaw, who was injured before the match. New coach Ruben Amorim hopes the English defender can play for the first time since he took over.
However, Shaw has confirmed that he will be out for a few more weeks. Shaw is one of many United stars who will miss the trip to London.
Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo both received yellow cards in the win over Everton and will be suspended for 1 match. However, Leny Yoro could make his official debut for the Manchester team after many months out.
The Red Devils' summer signing was injured in pre-season and have not been able to play for the club since moving from Lille. Amorim is eager to use the teenage defender and stressed his excitement at seeing Yoro return.
"Maybe Leny Yoro will be in the squad. I felt he was at a good time, his fitness was better, so I thought he would be in the squad.
We didn't have too many training sessions together. He doesn't train alone, he trains with a small group of players. He is really agile and a modern defender. That is very important when you want to put a lot of pressure. I think Yoro is a special talent but we have to be careful in this first moment" - the Portuguese strategist said.
The Emirates have not been a happy place for Man United in recent years. They have conceded three goals in their last three games at the Emirates but will take full confidence from a 4-0 win over Everton at the weekend. In particular, Marcus Rashford is showing a strong revival.
Rashford is expected to feature in Amorim's attack, alongside Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes. Meanwhile, Manuel Ugarte is looking to show his worth in midfield. The Uruguayan played for Sporting Lisbon under Amorim two years ago.
With Amad Diallo, this player has proven himself to be an excellent full-back since Amorim applied the new tactical system, with Diogo Dalot operating on the other wing.
A win for the "Red Devils" will help them narrow the gap with Arsenal to 3 points. After a poor start to the season, they are eager to return with a new wind from Amorim.
Man United's expected lineup to face Arsenal: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Maguire, Amad, Ugarte, Casemiro, Dalot, Fernandes, Hojlund, Rashford.
The match between Arsenal and Man United takes place at 3:15 am on December 5 (Vietnam time).
