Mikel Arteta could name an unchanged team for Arsenal’s trip to Manchester United after the Gunners thumped PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday.

Arsenal were 7-1 winners against PSV, becoming the first team in the Champions League history to score seven goals in away knockout match.

Arteta may look to rest players for the second leg of the last-16 tie next week, but he will go strong at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Spaniard could name an unchanged side as Arsenal have no fresh injury concerns from their win on Wednesday.

If Arteta is to make changes, then defence would be the most likely place for him to do so.

Riccardo Calafiori impressed off the bench against PSV and could come into the team at left-back over Myles Lewis-Skelly.

Ben White is also yet to start a game after returning from injury last month and is an option at right-back in place of Jurrien Timber

Arsenal have been carefully managing White’s minutes after he had knee surgery in November and so he may be on the bench again.

The Gunners are still desperately short on attacking options as they are without four forwards due to injury.

Mikel Merino is expected to start as a No9 for the fourth game in a row and the midfielder has three goals in four games since moving up top.

Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard

Injured: Havertz (hamstring), Jesus (knee), Martinelli (hamstring), Saka (hamstring), Tomiyasu (knee)

Time and date: 4.30pm GMT on Sunday 9 March, 2025

Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester

Referee: Anthony Taylor
