However, despite their recent good form, Arsenal do have the ability to collapse, as proven against Liverpool less than a fortnight ago. Chelsea and Manchester City — although it was much earlier in the season, before Arteta's side had found their feet — also found ways to dismantle the Gunners.
A common theme of the three teams' triumphs over Arsenal this season, by and large, have been as a result of getting the ball into wide areas, hitting early crosses and piling bodies into the box.
Liverpool caused havoc down both flanks through the pace of Sadio Mane and Mo Salah, City found joy with Gabriel Jesus and Jack Grealish pulling the strings and both of Chelsea's goals at the Emirates came as a result of James bursting forward from right wing-back.
Now, United are unlikely to approach this evening's contest with wing-backs, but in
Jadon Sancho — who will be looking to score for the third game in a row — and Marcus Rashford they have two players who can cause no shortage of damage with their pace and trickery.
Ideally, Ronaldo ought to be joined in the penalty area by Donny van de Beek and Fernandes, should Carrick be brave enough to start both of them in an attack-minded midfield.

The 3 teams (Man City, Chelsea & Liverpool) easily beat Arsenal. Obviously Arsenal couldn't handle these 3 teams style of playing. Those playing on the left & right midfield will be the players to beat Arsenal if they played well.
