Koscielny and Monreal out, Iwobi to start – Predicted 4-3-2-1 Arsenal XI to face Manchester United

Predicted Arsenal Line-up To Face Manchester United In The Premier League

Arsenal’s last hope of securing a Champions League berth by clinching the Europa League title received a massive blow on Thursday night when the Gunners failed to beat a 10-man Atletico Madrid at the Emirates Stadium in the semi-final first leg tie.

Arsenal have lost all of their away outings this year and this dismal run might extend on Sunday when they travel to Old Trafford to take on Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United.

Arsenal don’t have a thing to play for in the league but the rivalry of Mourinho and Wenger will witness one last contest before the veteran Frenchman parts ways with Arsenal at the end of the season.

It’s a matter of prestige and pride for the Gunners to beat Mourinho just one more time under their iconic gaffer. The players would be determined to deliver their best for this mega Premier League encounter.

Probable Arsenal XI

Manager: Arsene Wenger

Petr Cech (GK)

Veteran Petr Cech made it to the bench against Atletico Madrid on Thursday night but is likely to return to action and replace David Ospina between the sticks against the Red Devils.

Hector Bellerin (RB)

The Spaniard has failed to match the hype of his initial days. However, he is good going forward and must be careful in dealing with counter-attacks, crosses and long balls.

Skhodran Mustafi (CB)

The German international put in some erroneous displays initially but improved immensely later on and is maintaining consistency at the heart of a vulnerable Arsenal defence that has let the team down on many occasions.

Calum Chambers

Calum Chambers (CB)

The young Englishman has been handed a decent amount of opportunities at the back, particularly in place of Laurent Koscielny, who has struggled due to injuries and lack of form all season.

Sead Kolasinac (LB)

The Bosnian joined the North Londoners in the summer on a Bosman transfer from Schalke but has lost his place to Nacho Monreal despite a few promising performances earlier in the campaign. He was out injured for a week but is now back to fitness and might be handed a start on Sunday.

Aaron Ramsey (RCM)

The Welshman has been influential in recent weeks as he has been scoring and assisting regularly. He was not at his best against Diego Simeone’s men but will be determined to bounce back versus the Red Devils to regain the confidence ahead of next week’s crucial second leg tie.

Granit Xhaka

Granit Xhaka (CM)

Has failed to live up to the expectations following his high-profile move from Borussia Monchengladbach but is working hard to uplift his game in order to finish the season on a higher note.

Jack Wilshere (LCM)

His future at Arsenal is undecided yet but the English sensation has been one of the Gunners’ top performers throughout the season and impressed against the Rojiblancos too when he assisted Alexandre Lacazette with a sublime cross.

Alex Iwobi (RAM)

The Nigerian youngster is full of potential but is yet to flourish fully. However, he might return to action on Sunday.

Aaron Ramsey and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang

Danny Welbeck (LAM)

The former Manchester United attacker has been in great form of late and will be determined to continue the same against his former employers.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (ST)

Has settled down quickly in English football and has already netted a decent amount of goals in Arsenal colours.
