The Gunners have not collected a win at the Theatre Of Dreams since 2006 and the time is ripe to overturn that drought.
United are struggling to put up wins with a lack of attacking prowess under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. They fell to a 2-0 defeat against West Ham United last week and are 11th in the standings.
Arsenal have gotten off to a rocky start to the campaign as well but they need to start turning over their poor record against Premier League’s top six teams. They are also aiming for a top-four finish this season after missing out for the past three.
Led a promising summer recruitment plan, Emery will have to answer his critics by delivering a stifling performance away from home. However, the Spaniard is unsure about who his best 11 players are, implementing a constantly rotating lineup with plenty of new faces at North London.
Bernd Leno is expected to remain in between the posts with Devid Luiz and Sokratis Papastathopoulos in front of him. Even with Rob Holding fit, it might be too soon to thrust the Englishman straight back against a top opposition. Sead Kolasinac might continue on the left with Calum Chambers on the right. Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney played for the U23s on Saturday and are surely out for this tie.
Granit Xhaka should reappear in the midfield pivot with Matteo Guendouzi and Dani Ceballos starting next to him. Emery can pick Mesut Ozil, Joe Willock and Lucas Torreira for the fixtures but he is likely to stick with his early impressors.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should get his prefered start centrally while Nicolas Pepe and Bukayo Saka fills out the wings.
