YFDTv News Jan. 25, 2019

ARSENAL host Manchester United tonight in one of the biggest FA Cup clashes in recent history.

The two teams have great history in this competition, not only as regular winners, but after their incredible semi-final clash 20 years ago.

Ahead of tonight's game at the Emirates, we bring you all the latest team news and predicted starting XIs.

Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil headline the potential starters but what about the other 20 stars on display?

Check out in our comprehensive round-up below.

ARSENAL

HENRIKH MKHITARYAN returned to training to give Arsenal a huge boost ahead of Friday's clash against Manchester United.

The Armenian has been out of action since December after he fractured a metatarsal in his right foot against Spurs - but tonight's game could come too soon.

Mesut Ozil wrapped up warm as he trained on Thursday after his return to the squad for last week's win over Chelsea.

The German, who has fallen out of favour under Unai Emery , could start the FA Cup clash against United.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette look set to continue their partnership up-front for the Gunners.

Meanwhile, with the likes of Hector Bellerin out through injury, the Arsenal back-four all-but picks itself

MAN UTD

ALEXIS SANCHEZ looks set to start when he returns to the Emirates for the first time as a Manchester United player.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that the Chile striker will be involved in the fourth round FA Cup clash.

Solskjaer said: "He'll be involved. I think he'll love it if the crowd turn against him. He's been fantastic in training, his attitude has been spot on so hopefully he'll enjoy the game."

However, David De Gea was nowhere to be seen , with Sergio Romero or Joel Pereira set to be given the nod for the clash.

Marcus Rashford raised concerns when he was subbed off during the win over Brighton with a knee problem but is still tipped to start.

Solskjaer confirmed that Chris Smalling , Marcos Rojo and Marouane Fellaini are the only three unavailable players.
