Arsenal lose key player to face Manchester United

Unai Emery’s Arsenal will be without one of their key players and that player is Granit Xhaka. Xhaka will not be available to face Manchester United in mid-week after being suspended due to the number of cards he has collected so far this term. Despite critics’ opinion the Swiss international performed well for Unai Emery with the support of Lucas Torreira. However, Jose Mourinho may not be too happy to learn of Arsenal selection dilemma. Matteo Guendouzi is one potential replacement for Xhaka. He has been one of the brightest youngsters for the Gunners since he joined them from Lorient in the summer. Emery has other options too such as Ainsley Maitland-Niles or Mohamed Elneny.
