Man United vs Arsenal Lineups: As Manchester United and Arsenal prepare to clash at Old Trafford on Sunday, March 9, both teams face crucial selection decisions.
While Arsenal remains in the Premier League title race, United is looking to regain form after a difficult season.
Manchester United have struggled this season, languishing in 15th place with only 33 points from 27 matches. Despite their struggles, they secured a much-needed league win over Ipswich in their last outing.
On the other hand, Arsenal enters the match in strong form, sitting second in the table with 54 points from the same number of games. However, they trail league leaders Liverpool by 16 points and are eager to bounce back after two winless Premier League outings. The Gunners will be full of confidence after their commanding 7-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.

Manchester United vs Arsenal: PL 2024-25 Injury Updates
Erik ten Hag’s side has been plagued by injuries this season, with key players potentially missing out, like Luke Shaw, Lisandro Martinez, and Rasmus Hojlund. As a result, United’s attacking options got limited, with much of the burden falling on Bruno Fernandes.
Mikel Arteta’s squad comparatively is in a better shape, though a few injury concerns persist. Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu are both recovering from their injuries. With a largely fit squad, Arteta may field his strongest XI, including Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice.
