3. Can Gabriel Jesus be “the man”?

These are the types of games that Gabriel Jesus was bought for. Not for scoring a brace against Leicester or goals against Aston Villa, but for the games against the big boys.

Far too often, we have seen Arsenal wilt under pressure away from home, with Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang offering nothing at times.

For Jesus, this is a game where he must make a statement. He is the leading man and needs to perform as such. We all have complete faith that he can do this; it just needs to happen.

The task gets harder for Arsenal if he goes missing or has an off day. They need their number nine to show up and show out at Old Trafford.
