Arsenal and Man United combined XI: Gunners dominate in defence as a rejuvenated Red Devil features in attack... but who takes the gloves in our line-up?
Daily MailOne of the Premier League’s most storied rivalries will add another chapter to its long history on Wednesday, as second placed Arsenal go head-to-head with a seemingly rejuvenated Manchester United under new coach Ruben Amorim. Jurrien Timber has slotted into Arsenal's backline seamlessly after an injury hit first season Centre back: William Saliba Likened to a young Van Dijk, and receiving shouts from Arsenal supporters as being the best defender in the world, Saliba has been outstanding for the best part of two and a half seasons now for Arteta’s side. Noussair Mazraoui has been outstanding for Man United this season despite their struggles Central midfield: Martin Odegaard Despite missing over half of Arsenal’s games through injury, the Arsenal captain immediately showed why he has the armband upon his return to the starting lineup. Bruno Fernandes provided two assists in Man United's win over Everton on the weekend Central midfield: Declan Rice Providing a bit of defensive balance in the midfield is Arsenal’s record signing. Rice chipped in with seven goals and nine assists in a title challenging season, placing him fifth in Arsenal’s goal contribution standings, ahead of attackers Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus.
