Arsenal are well-placed to win the Premier League title, and the Gunners will look to build upon their North London Derby victory over Tottenham Hotspur in today’s heavyweight meeting with Manchester United.

United will have to face the league leaders without their winning run and their talismanic midfielder Casemiro.

The Belgian was registered with the league before midday and will be available to be involved today.
