Saka and Tomiyasu doubtful for OT trip

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that Bukayo Saka and Takehiro Tomiyasu are doubtful for Sunday's Premier League game against Manchester United.

The Gunners face a must-win situation against United on Sunday evening in order to stay in the title race. Ahead of the encounter, Arteta has disclosed that Tomiyasu and Saka are doubtful.

Tomiyasu picked up a minor muscular injury in the victory over Bournemouth and he was absent from training earlier this week. Meanwhile, Saka suffered a nasty cut on his leg in the same game.

Arteta did not rule out either player for Sunday's encounter and a late decision will be made after tomorrow's training session.

Arsenal have a dreadful record at Old Trafford and it remains to be seen whether they can turn up with another valuable win.

The club have won in just one of the previous 16 league trips to the stadium and it would be a huge statement if they come on top.
