Almost a quarter-of-a-century has passed since Arsenal last took on Manchester United without Arsène Wenger on the touchline, but the Gunners won’t be looking back when they visit Old Trafford on Wednesday. New boss Unai Emery has overseen an unbeaten run that stretches back to August, and his side head into this match on the back of an impressive 4-2 win in the north London derby.

They’re a whole eight points clear of José Mourinho’s United, who haven’t won in their last three league matches. The Reds’ woes are compounded by a lengthy list of absentees: Ashley Young is suspended; Victor Lindelöf, Alexis Sánchez and Eric Bailly are injured; Matteo Darmian, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Antonio Valencia all face late fitness tests. Gulp.

Arsenal will be without Granit Xhaka, who’s suspended; while Danny Welbeck and Nacho Monreal are both sidelined through injury. Shkodran Mustafi and Mesut Özil are doubts.
