Arsenal set for triple fitness boost ahead of Manchester United clash

Arsenal are set to receive a triple fitness boost ahead of their trip to face Manchester United in the Premier League this weekend.

Mikel Arteta's side are top of the table heading into the latest round of fixtures and will most likely need to win at Old Trafford if they are to have any chance of becoming champions by the end of the campaign.

The good news for the Gunners is that they look like they could have a fully fit squad to choose from, with a trio of players set to be involved following recent injury scares.

An injury round-up from football.london claims Bukayo Saka, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Jurrien Timber are all likely to available for selection this weekend, should Arteta wish to use them.

Saka suffered a gashed shin in the victory over Bournemouth last time out, after he was on the end of a brutal pair of tackles from Lewis Cook and Ryan Christie. He soldiered on it that match and is expected to keep his starting spot at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Tomiyasu was not spotted in training on Tuesday after he had played the full 90 minutes against Bournemouth last Saturday. Although there has been no official update on his condition, the report claims he should still be available this weekend.

As for Timber, he has not featured in a competitive matchday squad since he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury on the opening weekend of the Premier League season against Nottingham Forest. The 22-year-old defender has recently returned to action at U21s level and could be named on the bench at the weekend.
