Manchester United have been dealt a further blow ahead of their Premier League showdown against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, with two more players ruled out of the trip.

The match comes just days after the Red Devils missed out on a chance to climb to second on the standings after they were held to a 1-1 frustrating draw at Crystal Palace in mid-week.

Bruno Fernandes was on target for United, with Michael Olise scoring an equaliser for the Eagles at stoppage time with a stunning free-kick.

The Red Devils will therefore be desperate to secure the three points at the Emirates to boost their Premier League title chances.

3 key players to miss Emirates trip

However, they will have to do that without three key players after two more stars were ruled out of the clash.

According to Metro UK, United will be without Anthony Martial and Diogo Dalot, who are currently recovering after picking up injuries earlier in the match.

Martial was forced off at half-time during last weekend’s Manchester derby, while Dalot is battling a muscular injury.

The duo's absence now adds to Casemiro, who is suspended from the tie after he picked his fifth yellow card of the season against Palace.

Confirmed Man United squad to face Arsenal

De Gea, Heaton, Butland, Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Martinez, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Malacia, McTominay, Mainoo, Fred, Eriksen, Fernandes, Elanga, Antony, Pellistri, Garnacho, Rashford, Weghorst.

Ten Hag on Casemiro's absence

Meanwhile, Sports Brief reported on Erik ten Hag’s reaction to Casemiro not being eligible for United in the key Arsenal game.

The Dutchman still insisted his side would put up a brave battle against the runaway league leaders, since they had beaten them earlier in the season without the Brazilian.

Casemiro was shown a fifth yellow card of the season after clattering into Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha, shortly before Michael Olise's equaliser at the death.
