United's team selection on Sunday should be interesting given Mourinho will rest some players with an eye on Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg against Celta Vigo.

Bailly has been Mourinho's rock this season and was once again imperious against an albeit feeble Celta attack in Spain.

"But I can not now play with the same team that played here, and then repeat again on the next Thursday".

The visitor will have Paul Pogba and Marouane Fellaini back available, whilst Juan Mata could make his comeback from groin surgery after being an unused substitute against Swansea.

Arsenal were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham in their most recent Premier League outing last weekend to leave their hopes of finishing in the top four this season hanging by a thread.

Marcus Rashford had one effort towards the top corner palmed away, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Jesse Lingard failed with one on one attempts.

Former United striker Danny Welbeck will lead the line in front of Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez.

Wayne Rooney has scored more Premier League goals against Arsenal than any other player in Premier League history (11).

United's victory was slightly soured when 19-year-old Rashford hobbled off 10 minutes from time clutching his knee.

Get 60/1 enhanced odds on Man United to beat Arsenal. It's the side the Frenchman has faced most often with the Gunners, but also the side he's got the lowest win rate against (29% - minimum of 15 games).

"I am going to change my team to play against Arsenal, so I think (Wenger) will be really happy with me", Mourinho told reporters.

"The free-kick is fantastic and I don't think the goalkeeper has any chance because the shot is very fast".

The game at the Emirates kicks off at 16:00 United Kingdom time, with live television coverage on Sky Sports 1 in the United Kingdom from 15:30.
