Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will field against Manchester United in the FA Cup match on Sunday 12 January, 2025 at Emirates Stadium at 16:00 (WAT).
At his press conference ahead of the game, Amorim confirmed Altay Bayindir will start in goal and Marcus Rashford is available for selection.
In the 4-3 loss to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup, Bayindir replaced Andre Onana, and it will be the same situation this weekend in the other half of north London.
According to manutd.com, Amorim said: “I don’t rotate because I want to rotate. I’m trying to find the best solutions to win the game. I put the guys in who are more fresh to cope with the demands of the game. The goalkeeper position is different, so it’s a good question. Altay will play.”
Due to injury, Victor Lindelof, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount have all been missing in action for the Reds.
On the Gunners side, Arsenal will play without Bukayo Saka as the winger is still battling with thigh injury.
Also, youngster, Ethan Nwaneri, will not be available due to muscle injury.
