Your support makes all the difference.Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made a string of changes for Manchester United’s FA Cup fourth-round match against Arsenal this evening, with Alexis Sanchez handed a starting role against his former side.
Sanchez left Arsenal last season and has not returned to the Emirates since.
He has struggled to make much of an impact for his new club, scoring just four times in 32 appearances, but will start up front alongside Romelu Lukaku.
Sergio Romero will start in goal, while Eric Bailly and Luke Shaw play in defence.
Arsenal boss Unai Emery has made three changes — with one enforced because of Hector Bellerin’s season-ending injury.
He is replaced by Ainsley Maitland-Niles, with Petr Cech in goal and Alex Iwobi in for Matteo Guendouzi.
Arsenal: Cech, Maitland-Niles, Papastathopoulos, Koscielney, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Iwobi, Ramsey, Aubameyang, Lacazette.
Manchester United: Romero, Young, Lindelof, Bailly, Shaw, Herrera, Matic, Pogba, Lingard, Sanchez, Lukaku.
