Having ruled out Hector Bellerin for four weeks and Santi Cazorla for the immediate future, Arsene Wenger promised to take no risks on the fitness of Alexis Sanchez.

Wenger will consult Sanchez on Friday when he returns from South America having defied a hamstring problem to help Chile beat Uruguay.

Arsenal want him fit to face Manchester United in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off but, this time last year, Sanchez pushed similar warnings aside until he pulled a hamstring and was out for two months

After that, it is a difficult period in November because it’s the first time when some of the players have played many games.

‘It’s a decisive period in the Champions League because it’s game number five and in the Premier League the first decisive games are also coming up.

‘We lost important players in November for long periods last year.’

Stats
Arsenal haven't beaten Manchester United in the league at Old Trafford since 2006.
United's 3-2 win over Arsenal in February ended a three game winless run against the Gunners - their longest streak since 2002.
Arsenal have found the net in each of their last five matches against the Red Devils.
United have failed to win their last two home games, drawing twice.
The Red Devils have won just two of their last eight league games.
Arsenal have 13 points from a possible 15 away from home in the league this season.
Theo Walcott has followed his scoring run of five goals in four matches with a barren run of five games.
Manchester United scored all of their three shots on target against Swansea.
In contrast, just two of Arsenal's 15 shots in their 1-1 draw with Tottenham were on target.
Arsenal are unbeaten in 10 league games, a run that stretches back to the opening day of the season.

Mourinho vs Wenger

We can't afford to miss Sanchez but in case he won't be fit enough,who can replace him ?

Our record against Mourinho is also a cause for concern.I pray Wenger gets tge better of him this time around.

most of man u players are down with injury and IBRA is suspended so its going to be a tough day for the home side but I know man u is not losing that match

Manchester are in danger playing Arsenal without seven regular players including Abrahimobitch.

I no wan know .....manu must win, don't ask me hw. manu 2 Arsenal 1. #period
