Manchester United will be targeting a return to winning ways when they welcome Arsenal to Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
United, who knocked the Gunners out of the FA Cup in January, let a one-goal lead slip in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie against Real Sociedad on Thursday night, drawing 1-1. Mikel Oyarzabal converted a penalty after Joshua Zirkzee had earlier given the Reds the lead.
The stalemate in San Sebastian means United head into the clash with Gunners having won just one of their last five matches across all competitions.

However, that victory was against Ipswich Town in their last Premier League outing, meaning they will be eyeing back-to-back league wins for the first time this season.
Ahead of the visit of Mikel Arteta's side, head coach Ruben Amorim has confirmed he is unlikely to be table to call upon any of the players that missed the clash with Sociedad through injury. Patrick Dorgu will also be missing as he sits out the second game of his three-match domestic ban.
With little room for manoeuvre, it means changes are likely to be at a premium. Nevertheless, Andre Onana is expected to start in goal and maintain his record of starting every Premier League game since joining the club.
Harry Maguire is unlikely to be involved once again, meaning Victor Lindelof could secure his first start since December 19 and join forces with Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro in the back-three. The Swede has stepped off the bench in each of the last three games.
The reason for Lindelof potentially securing a rare start is because Dorgu will be absent through suspension, meaning Diogo Dalot is likely to revert back to the left wing-back position. It means the right wing-back berth he will vacate will almost certainly be filled by Noussair Mazraoui.
The Moroccan started as the right-sided centre-back against Sociedad amid Dorgu's availability, but the Dane's absence against the Gunners means Amorim will have to oversee yet another reshuffle in the wing-back department.
With Mazraoui and Dalot likely to operate as the wing-backs, it is highly likely Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro will operate between them as the midfield paring. They started next to each other in the centre against Sociedad amid Manuel Ugarte's absence.
Amorim is very light on attacking options, meaning Alejandro Garnacho and Zirkzee are likely to support Rasmus Hojlund in attack once again. Chido Obi will be back available after not being allowed to play in the Europa League and is likely to start on the bench.
United predicted line-up vs Arsenal: Onana; Yoro, De Ligt, Lindelof; Mazraoui, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dalot; Zirkzee, Garnacho; Hojlund.
