SUGGESTED STARTING XIs: Manchester United travel to the Emirates to play Arsenal!

Manchester United take on Arsenal today in a crucial match in the race for the top four. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be hoping his side can replicate the performance in the FA Cup in January, but who will he pick to complete the job? Here’s what our site experts suggest.

After Bailly came off, the backline of Shaw, Lindelof, Smalling and Young did wonders against PSG. However, it’s time that we slowly phase out 33-year-old Young and move 19-year-old Dalot from right-wing to right-back.

Although Herrera could be fit to face Arsenal, Fred was phenomenal at the Parc des Princes and should be rewarded by letting him to keep his place in the starting XI.

Lukaku has been in terrific form up top for United, having scored a brace in each of his last three games. However, since he was brilliant on the right-wing the last time we faced Arsenal, grabbing two assists, he should start there again with Rashford playing down the middle instead.

After 36 minutes against PSG, Manchester United ended up with their best back four on the pitch on Wednesday night. Both Luke Shaw, Chris Smalling and Victor Lindelof have had really strong seasons. Some doubt remains over United’s best right-back but I believe, currently, it is still Ashley Young.

Selecting a midfield three was a really tough call to make. Scott McTominay, Andreas Pereira and more recently, Fred, have been in great form. However, with Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba both in the travelling squad, they have to start. I’ve opted for Pereira instead of Fred for the other midfield position, simply because his form has been longer sustained than Fred’s, who did well against PSG.

In attack, I think it is crucial Marcus Rashford starts up top in the number nine position. United looked very threatening on the break in the FA Cup tie at the Emirates early on this year which saw Lukaku start on the right. And with Anthony Martial fit again, the Frenchman comes straight in.
