These 4 Arsenal players may make their Premier League debuts against Man United

Here's our prediction about who will make their Premier League debuts at Old Trafford this weekend. We think there could be as many as four.

As the countdown to Sunday's curtain raiser at Manchester United inches closer, attention turns to which of Arsenal's squad will make their Premier League debut on Sunday. Here's four who could feature.

Of the new signings, Christian Norgaard and Noni Madueke have already played in the Premier League so I'm discounting those two from the discussion.

However, for the record, I expect both to play a part at Old Trafford depending on the way the match unfolds.

Should Arsenal get their noses in front, Norgaard could make an appearance from the bench to offer the back four some extra protection.

However, if Arsenal are chasing the game, expect Madueke to be introduced on the left. He's looked effective out there when he's replaced Martinelli in pre-season and Leandro Trossard looks 50:50 at best to be fit. It might not be beyond the realm to see Madueke start the match.

#1 Martin Zubimendi will make his Premier League debut on Sunday

Probably the safest bet of the summer so far is that Martin Zubimendi will start against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Spaniard has been in excellent form in pre-season and he controlled the pace of the game beautifully against Athletic Club in the Emirates Cup last weekend.

Zubimendi's ability to dictate the tempo with his range of passing makes him the favourite of all the newcomers to make his Premier League debut on Sunday.
