The Gunners have won their last four games against the Manchester outfit, who haven't claimed victory on the red side of north London in any of their last seven visits. win over Ruben Amorim's side just a matter of weeks ago.

He told Betfair: "If Man Utd turn up with the same attitude and performance, I can see them going through to the next round. I just think that Arsenal are struggling in front of goal, and haven't scored as many goals as they want. They missed one or two against and I can see Man United going in there, and if they put in another good performance then I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they won."

Arsenal, whilst being favourites, will need to bounce back from their midweek disappointment. They were undone by Newcastle in the Carabao Cup which leaves their hopes in that tournament having by a thread as they look to end their trophy wait.

Shearer said: "Arsenal have to try and bounce back - I don’t know what kind of team they’ll put out. I think that it’ll be interesting to see them with so much riding on this game now.

"They’re up against it in the Carabao Cup now, as well as the league and are going okay in the . So, they need to go and win something this season and maybe the is going to be their best opportunity."

Arteta's only major trophy as Arsenal boss was the FA Cup back in 2020. Ruben Amorim meanwhile bought winning pedigree with him from Sporting Lisbon and a trophy this term could go someway to salvaging the season at Old Trafford and offer an element of optimism going forward.
