Manchester United v Arsenal: match preview

For Manchester United to have any chance of finishing third they must beat Arsenal, who have a match in hand, with Louis van Gaal saying: “We can put pressure on Arsenal and that is what we want to do on Sunday.” However, Arsène Wenger has a settled side while Van Gaal will be without Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick and Luke Shaw, and Jonny Evans and Rafael Da Silva are doubts, so United’s task is made even more difficult.
