Manchester United - Arsenal. Preview

Sunday, 16:30, Manchester, Old Trafford.

Scorers: Lukaku, 16 - Lakazett, 13.

Do not play: Romero - Elneni, Cazorla.

In doubt: Bayi - Mkhitaryan.

The last fight Arsenal with Manchester United for Arsene Wenger. It will be very interesting to look at the composition of the "Gunners" - will the Frenchman throw all the best forces into the battle in pursuit of victory in a principled match or save players for the most important duel in the Europa League against Atlético?

For the match, both teams are suitable in almost optimal formulations. United have injured only the understudy De Gea Sergio Romero, and participation in the match Eric Bayi in doubt. At the Arsenal for a long time does not play Cazorla, can not play and Elneni. But Henrikh Mkhitaryan has recovered and is ready to fight with the former team. True, the physical condition of the Armenian raises questions.

Wenger's early departure also affected the tone of his eternal enemy, Jose Mourinho. Before the match, the Portuguese admitted that he regretted some episodes in his relationship with Arsen - perhaps he should not have called the Frenchman "a lesion specialist"? Wenger also spoke of respect for Mourinho, but when asked about whether they can become friends with Jose, he asked the press to let him calmly finish at the head of the Arsenal.

Victory Manchester United guarantees the "red devils" a place in the Champions League for the next season.
