Arsenal predicted line up vs Man Utd: Key trio return, Walcott battles Giroud for striker spot

Arsenal predicted line up ahead of Man Utd game on Sunday.

An Arsenal predicted line up to take on Man Utd at the weekend, with the Gunners going for as strong a side as possible after their midweek humiliation in the Champions League…

GK: Petr Cech

Inexplicably rested again for the Champions League, Petr Cech will surely return in goal for Arsenal this weekend as they welcome United to the Emirates Stadium.

DR: Hector Bellerin

A fine young right-back, Hector Bellerin will be tasked with dealing with the exciting young United winger Memphis Depay in this big game.

DL: Nacho Monreal

Still firmly ahead of Kieran Gibbs in the pecking order for Arsene Wenger’s side, Nacho Monreal seems a guaranteed starter at left-back in our Arsenal predicted line up.

DC: Per Mertesacker

Another big name rested in midweek, Per Mertesacker should perhaps return to the Arsenal starting XI ahead of the unconvincing Gabriel.

DC: Laurent Koscielny

A key defender for Arsenal, Laurent Koscielny will need to have a big game up against the likes of Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial this weekend.

MC: Francis Coquelin

An important player in keeping United’s creative midfield players quiet, Francis Coquelin is the best man for the job in Arsenal’s defensive midfield.

MC: Santi Cazorla

The main playmaker in this side, Santi Cazorla will resume his usual role in central midfield and will need to evade the attentions of Morgan Schneiderlin.

AMR: Aaron Ramsey

Replacing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right, Aaron Ramsey returns to the Arsenal team for this game after performing surprisingly well out of position so far this season.

AML: Alexis Sanchez

One of the best attacking players in the Premier League, Alexis Sanchez scored a hat-trick last weekend and will be key to Arsenal taking any points against United.

AMC: Mesut Ozil

Not at his best at the moment, Mesut Ozil should remain in the starting line up but will need to do better for the visit of United and put in a big-game display.

FC: Theo Walcott

Concluding our Arsenal predicted line up, Theo Walcott just about edges Olivier Giroud for the final place up front, having shown he deserves to be played in this role with a fine run of scoring form.
