    Manchester United's absentee list has eased ahead of their Super Sunday clash against Arsenal with Anthony Martial, Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera all set to return.

    Still unbeaten domestically under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, United head to the Emirates Stadium - a ground where they beat the Gunners 3-1 in the FA Cup in January - with their injury list decreasing.

    A look at some of the key stats surrounding this weekend's Premier League action, including Leicester v Fulham and Arsenal taking on Manchester United

    "Anthony will be available and hopefully we'll have Nemanja and/or Ander ready as well.

    "We're looking better for it. They just need to have another couple of days training with the team. They've done well with their recovery work."

    As the battle for a place in the top-four heats up, Sokratis Papastathopoulos feels the hosts can get the right result this time around and is not worried by United's emphatic victory in Paris.

    Asked if the PSG result will make Sunday a more difficult task, Sokratis replied: "No. We play in our home.

    "We know what we can do. We will play with confidence and everything will be good. It is a game that we know is very important for us but we will be ready.

    "Of course we watched (the PSG match). Everybody watched. But we will be ready, everybody is thinking about Sunday's game already and we will give 100 per cent."

    Alexandre Lacazette is available having missed the Europa League defeat in Rennes through suspension, with long-term injury absentees Danny Welbeck (ankle), Rob Holding and Hector Bellerin (both knee) still missing.

    Martial will return for United this weekend, with Matic and Herrera also on the brink of returning for Sunday's trip.

    United were without 10 first-team players for Wednesday's 3-1 Champions League win at Paris St Germain. Pogba is available after serving a European suspension and Martial is back from a groin injury.

    Solskjaer revealed that Matic (groin) and Herrera (hamstring) could return, but Alexis Sanchez, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Phil Jones, Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian remain unavailable.

    Merson's prediction

    Wow, this is a big game. Again, both teams will be wanting to get into the top four, but they will also want a buffer for the other European places. I see nothing but goals in this football match - both teams turning up, having a go. Arsenal look like they are playing with a real bit of confidence, they were unlucky against Tottenham and probably should have won the game.

    And Man Utd - what a result against PSG. It was unreal - as simple as that. I thought they did well and there's a saying that if you can stay in the game, you never know what can happen. I thought the manager was fortunate because he got it horribly, horribly wrong in the first 20 minutes with Eric Bailly playing at right-back. They're very fortunate that they weren't out of the tie before he made the substitutions. It was a phenomenal football result and with the players they had, who all turned up - bar Bailly, who had an absolute shocker.

    I can't say it will decide fourth place with Chelsea there. It's in Chelsea's hands really but I think whoever lost the game would be in trouble so it's a massive game. I think both teams will have a go at each other and there will be goals.
