Alex Iwobi :
The 21 year old Nigerian professional footballer will surely be one of the key players for the Gunners in this match against Manchester United.

Arsene Wenger will mostly play with a 4-3-3 formation in this match. So, Iwobi will be deployed in one of the wings. He can also play as an attacking midfielder for the sake of his side. His passing accuracy is better than most of the players of his age in the Premier League. Iwobi’s ball control ability is one of the key strengths of his gameplay.
Iwobi has impressed his manager whenever he has got the chance to play. The youngster has played 22 matches in the Premier League this season.

Anthony Martial :

But he didn’t get enough chances regularly for Manchester United as they have a lot of options in the attacking third. After the arrival of Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal in the winter transfer window, his chances has decreased a bit too. With the season coming to it’s closing stage, Jose Mourinho will surely try to give this player a chance to prove himself in the bigger stage and no other match could be a better option from this one for Anthony Martial.
Jose Mourinho will opt to play with a 4-3-3 formation against the Gunners. Romelu Lukaku will be there as the centre forward with Alexis Sanchez and Anthony Martial playing at both the wings for the Red Devils.

With Arsenal’s attacking football style, Martial will get some chances and he will be very much eager to convert those into Goals
