Arsenal team news: Ozil doubtful, Aubameyang not fully fit and Granit Xhaka out as Unai Emery plots Man Utd downfall
The Gunners are looking to claim their first league win at Old Trafford since September 2006
PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG has revealed he is not 100 per cent fit ahead of Arsenal's match against Manchester United
The 29-year-old netted twice during Arsenal's 4-2 win against rivals Tottenham to move to the top of the Premier League goalscoring charts.
With the Gunners seeking a first win in the top-flight at Old Trafford since September 2006, Aubameyang is looking to lead the line once again.
He said: "I think I'm not at 100 per cent but it's coming. It's coming and against Spurs I felt very good on the pitch.
“I'm really happy because my best form is coming. We knew that if we won this game we'd be in the top four. It's great now."
While adding: "I like to play up front but I know that I can help the team. Sometimes the coach puts me on the left side but as I said it [centre-forward] is my favourite position.”
Mesut Ozil couldmiss the match against Jose Mourinho's men, with Unai Emery insisting he has not fully recovered from a back injury.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, the Spaniard said: "Today he was working alone, I don’t know if he’s OK for Wednesday.
“I said yesterday he’s had backache since last Tuesday. He couldn’t play in Kiev or yesterday.
“At the moment, I don’t know if he can play in Manchester."
