Piers Morgan tells Mikel Arteta the XI Arsenal must field vs Manchester United

Piers Morgan has demanded Mikel Arteta pick a changed Arsenal line-up when they take on Manchester United next weekend.

The Gunners are unbeaten so far this season in the top flight with two wins and a draw, but dropped points against the 10 men of Fulham at the Emirates Stadium.

Joao Palhinha netted in the closing stages of the encounter to ensure the Cottagers rescued a point following Calvin Bassey's dismissal in a 2-2 draw.

Andreas Pereira had scored in the first minute of the game, before Bukayo Saka's penalty and Eddie Nketiah's finish looked to have handed Arsenal three points, but it was not to be.

United, meanwhile, are just a point behind Arsenal in the table after three games, though have had an unconvincing start to the campaign.

After scraping a win against Wolves, Erik ten Hag's side suffered a loss on the road versus Spurs, before coming from two goals down to beat Nottingham Forest 3-2 at Old Trafford.

United were stunned very early on at Old Trafford when Taiwo Awoniyi put Forest ahead inside two minutes, with Willy Boly doubling the visitors' advantage just moments later.

The hosts halved the advantage before half-time when Christian Eriksen fired home, but could have gone into the break on level terms only for Casemiro to somehow manage to head wide from two yards out when faced with an open goal.

But after half-time, the Brazilian did not make the same mistake again and levelled as Ten Hag's side got back level.

Forest were reduced to 10 men when captain Joe Worrall was given his marching orders with a straight red card, before Fernandes fired home a spot kick to give United the win.

United make the trip to north London next Sunday, and all eyes will be on whether Arsenal boss Arteta makes changes or not.

And famous Arsenal supporter Piers Morgan has told Gunners boss Mikel Arteta to "stop tinkering" with his team as he delivered the side he believes ought to start against United.

Morgan wants Aaron Ramsdale to start as goalkeeper, with a back four of Ben White, Gabriel, William Saliba and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

In midfield, a trio of Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard and Thomas Partey is wanted, with a front three of Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus.

We'll find out next Sunday if Arteta has listened to Morgan, or not.
