Manager Erik ten Hag has named his starting line-up for Manchester United's Premier League showdown with current table-toppers Arsenal at Old Trafford this afternoon, awarding a start to new signing Antony.
United, who beat the Gunners 3-2 in an enthralling Old Trafford showdown last season, will be going in search of a fourth successive league victory for the first time since April last year. The Reds, following last Saturday's 1-0 win over Southampton, recorded another three-point haul on Thursday evening, beating Leicester City by the same scoreline, ensuring they maintained their winning run.
