Arsenal: Arteta previews Man Utd clash in Premier League
Arsenal are looking to make it seven Premier League games without defeat when Manchester United visit the Emirates today. Mikel Arteta is still without captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang due to personal reasons. Express Sport has picked the Gunners XI we expect to see line up against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

Defence - Bellerin, Holding, Luiz, Tierney
The makeup of the defence depends on the fitness of Kieran Tierney.
The influential left-back was in training on Friday so will be hoping to start against United.
Cedric Soares impressed against his former club Southampton in midweek and is in a straight shootout with Hector Bellerin for the right-back spot if Tierney is available.
Arteta may keep faith with David Luiz alongside Rob Holding, with summer signing Gabriel not playing a single minute of league action since December 16.

Another injury doubt is Thomas Partey, who was forced off late on at St Mary's on Tuesday.
However, he trained on Friday and should line up alongside Granit Xhaka in midfield.
Martin Odegaard may have to wait for his full Arsenal debut, with the loan signing perhaps lacking match sharpness due to only playing five minutes for Real Madrid since the beginning of December.
Emile Smith Rowe is set to be available despite picking up a knock at Southampton.
