However, with Laurent Koscielny and Shkodran Mustafi said to be rested, Calum Chambers and Rob Holding are sure to start as the Gunners’ central defensive pairing.
The big news is that Henrikh Mkhitaryan is fit and will travel to face his old side at Old Trafford.
The Armenian has settled into life at the Emirates and has scored two goals and provided five assists too.
Speaking ahead of Sunday’s game, Wenger said, “We have no new problems. Mkhitaryan is available. Elneny is out, Cazorla too of course.
“Everyone else is OK.”
