Manchester United Predicted Lineup vs. Arsenal: FA Cup

The highlight fixture of FA Cup action this weekend kicks off at 10 a.m. ET with Arsenal hosting Manchester United.

The Red Devils lost a historic fourth Premier League game in a row against the Gunners last time out as Ruben Amorim's side continues to be hot and cold. Since the loss at Emirates Stadium back on Dec. 4, Manchester United has lost to Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Wolverhampton Wanders and Newcastle United in the Premier League. The Red Devils were also bounced from the Carabao Cup by Tottenham Hotspur.

Though, Amorim also won his first Manchester derby and drew against Liverpool at Anfield. Anything can happen in a cup tie, but a result here would be massive for the Portuguese manager's project.

Here's how Manchester United could line up against Arsenal.
