Arsenal team news
Leandro Trossard has picked up injuries in both Arsenal friendlies so far this summer and surely needs a rest for this one. Reiss Nelson and Oleksandr Zinchenko remain sidelined through injury.
Thomas Partey and Emile Smith Rowe have joined up with the squad and could be given some minutes, while it's another chance for Mikel Arteta to experiment with Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz in midfield.

Man Utd team news
Erik ten Hag has most of his senior players back available to him but just how fit they are remains to be seen. Most of the international stars have only been training for a week and are therefore unlikely to play more than 45 minutes at this point.
A 'personal issue' has delayed Fred's link-up with the squad, while new goalkeeper Andre Onana only joined training on Friday and may not be thrown straight into the action just yet.

Arsenal vs Man Utd score prediction
Arsenal are undoubtedly ahead of United in terms of fitness, with Ten Hag's senior stars still finding their footing after their summer breaks, and that could ultimately prove crucial.
Mikel Arteta can leave some of his big stars on the pitch for significant minutes, which should give Arsenal the edge against a youthful United side whose performance will be disrupted by a raft of substitutions.
It's not a result to read into, but this one might just go Arsenal's way.
