Arsenal v Man Utd team news: Martinelli and Lacazette subs as Nketiah and Ronaldo start

A busy Saturday of Premier League football begins with Arsenal v Manchester United.

Kick-off at the Emirates is at 12:30 BST.

Mikel Arteta makes just one change to his starting XI, with Cedric Soares replacing Rob Holding in defence.

That means Eddie Nketiah keeps his place after scoring twice in Arsenal’s 4-2 win at Chelsea in Gameweek 33.

Gabriel Martinelli and Alexandre Lacazette, meanwhile, have to settle for bench roles once again, alongside the returning Takehiro Tomiyasu.

The line-up suggests the Gunners will revert to a back-four system, which will please Bukayo Saka owners after he was deployed as a wing-back in midweek.

For the visitors, Cristiano Ronaldo returns as Ralf Rangnick responds to the heavy loss at Anfield by making five changes.

Harry Maguire, Phil Jones, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford all drop out, with Raphael Varane, Alex Telles, Scott McTominay, Jadon Sancho and Ronaldo coming in.

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tavares, Elneny, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe, Nketiah
