Send Push

Arsenal kick-off their Premier League campaign against Manchester United this afternoon - and a few team news hints have already been dropped.

The Gunners start their season at Old Trafford in a game that could see several debuts. Between the end of last season and now, the Gunners have completed the signing of six players, including striker Viktor Gyokeres and midfielder Martin Zubimendi, with both players expected to start the match.

There have, however, been hints about other players who could be involved in this afternoon’s game. Arsenal themselves have put a preview graphic for the match on their Instagram story, with defender WilliamSaliba as the main image.

He is expected to partner Gabriel Magalhaes in the centre of defence. The Brazilian is among them to preview the game on social media.

On his Instagram story he has shared a picture of pre-match training with a caption reading: “Ready to go.”

Full-back Riccardo Calafiori has shared a post from Arsenal with him as the main image on his own Instagram story ahead of the game. He has added the caption reading: “Premier League is back!” With a red heart emoji.

Fellow full-back Jurrien Timber has also previewed the game on his Instagram story. Ahead of the match, he has shared a pre-match graphic, pointing to his involvement.

Perhaps, most interestingly, among them to look ahead to the game is winger Leandro Trossard. The Belgian was an injury doubt ahead of the game and has also been linked with a move awayfrom the Emirates Stadium this summer.

He has, though, hinted at his involvement in the match at Old Trafford by sharing a pre-match graphic on his Instagram story.
