As is the norm Arsenal revealed their matchday squad to face Man United one hour before kick-off.
The starting eleven was pretty standard but there was one noticeable omission from the 11 and bench.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan has played 27 games across all competitions this season for Unai Emery’s side, scoring six and assisting six.
However, the attacking midfielder would be left completely out of the squad to face United.
Arsenal have since revealed that Mkhitaryan missed Sunday’s game due to a slight back problem.
