Former Manchester United attacker Danny Webber is backing recently-absent centre-back Lisandro Martinez to start for the Reds against Arsenal.
Licha hasn't featured for United since March but, along with Marcus Rashford, was pictured back in training with Erik ten Hag's team earlier this week.
Erik said on Friday in his press conference that the game against the Gunners would be too soon for the Argentina international to make his return but, given our injury issues in defence, Webber believes Martinez could well end up being named in the United starting XI on Sunday afternoon.
The former Reds striker has tipped Ten Hag to make four changes to the team that was beaten at Crystal Palace on Monday and has also predicted the first goalscorer, Man of the Match and result against the Gunners - you can do the same by playing our United Predictions game.
DANNY WEBBER'S PREDICTIONS
United XI: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Martinez, Evans, Dalot; McTominay, Mainoo, Rashford, Fernandes, Garnacho; Hojlund.
First scorer: Bruno Fernandes
Final score: 2-2
Man of the Match: Kobbie Mainoo
Ex-United defender David May believes Ten Hag will make one change to the side that started against Palace on Monday, with captain Bruno Fernandes coming in for the injured Mason Mount, after our no.8 missed the clash with the Eagles.
May is backing Bruno to play a crucial role against the Gunners and predicts that the United skipper will score first and be our Man of the Match on Sunday.
DAVID MAY'S PREDICTIONS
United XI: Onana; Wan-Bissaka, Evans, Casemiro, Dalot; Eriksen, Mainoo; Antony, Fernandes, Garnacho, Hojlund.
First scorer: Bruno Fernandes
Final score: United 2 Arsenal 2
Man of the Match: Bruno Fernandes
