Arsenal will have some injury concerns to deal with after claiming a 3-1 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League
Arsenal are still expected to be dealing with players unavailable through injury as they prepare to face Manchester United. The Gunners will go into the game against the Red Devils on the back of a 3-1 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Gabriel Jesus was named in the starting line-up by Mikel Arteta for the trip to the San Siro and scored two goals in the first half to set Arsenal on their way to a victory.
Viktor Gyokeres got Arsenal's third goal of the game in the second half after making an appearance from the bench, with both players now having ambitions of starting against United at the weekend.
Arteta will still be forced to deal with some players being on the sidelines through injury when Arsenal host the Red Devils in the Premier League on Sunday.

Cristhian Mosquera made his long-awaited return to the Arsenal starting line-up for the clash against Inter, where the defender played 75 minutes before being replaced by Gabriel Magalhaes.
The summer signing had missed 11 matches with an ankle injury before making his return to the matchday squad for the draw with Nottingham Forest last weekend, where he was an unused substitute.
Arteta spoke about Mosquera's return from injury and praised Arsenal's medical staff for getting the defender available to face Inter.
"The medical is tough and the physios put in all the hours in the day because they know we are short in the backline," Arteta told Amazon Prime after the final whistle at the San Siro, before adding: "Remarkable."
Arteta used all five substitutions during Arsenal’s win over Inter, with Jurrien Timber, Eberechi Eze, Leandro Trossard, Mosquera and Jesus all leaving the pitch, but none of them were due to injury concerns.
As a result, Arsenal will hope to only have to manage the injuries to Calafiori, Hincapie and Dowman for the clash against United this weekend.
