EPL: Arsenal v Manchester United preview

Arsenal v Manchester United preview
Arsenal will look to cut the gap between themselves and Manchester United to just one point when they meet at the Emirates on Saturday.
The Gunners are now four points behind the Red Devils after back-to-back wins in the Premier League last week.
Victories over Burnley and Huddersfield Town have lifted the confidence levels in north London but they face a stern test at home this weekend.
Arsenal have won their last two meetings against United at home but they will be without striker Alexandre Lacazette.
The France international is out with a groin injury, but fellow forward Alexis Sanchez should have recovered from a hamstring complaint in time for kick-off.
United also have a number of injury complaints with holding midfielder Nemanja Matic a doubt. He limped off with a muscle complaint against Watford and he could join Marouane Fellaini, Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Michael Carrick on the sidelines.
Jose Mourinho’s troops also come into the game on the back of successive wins and they will be looking to cut the gap between themselves and Manchester City.
United last won at the Emirates in 2014 and Arsenal are aiming to win their third game in a row at home against their fierce rivals for the first time since 1991.
