Manchester United will meet Arsenal on Sunday in their second tie of the Premier League. The first tie went in favor of the Red Devils. They will have another chance to prove again that they are the only team that has so far beaten Arsenal this season in the Premier League and they can confirm that with another victory against the Gunners.
The dream to beat Arsenal received a set back and the club received some bad news in the 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace. Casemiro who has been holding Manchester United’s midfield got his fifth yellow card of the season.
The rules are very clear and they state that when a player receives five yellow cards, then he risks suspension for the next game. This now means that the Brazilian international will miss this derby.
He has been one of the best players who has managed to transform the club this season. Erik ten Hag also confirmed in an interview after the draw against Crystal Palace that Casemiro is one of the key players who has really worked hard to make sure that the club is where it is today.
David De Gea who is the goalkeeper also lamented why Arsenal did not play over the week when they know that they will be playing together. He also confirmed that they will miss one of their best players when they will visit the Emirates stadium.
This emphasizes that Casemiro is such a big part of the squad and he will surely be missed in the midfield. The midfielders will now face Thomas Partey in Arsenal’s midfield.
