Finally some good news on the injury front for Manchester United.

Their Spanish goalkeeper, David De Gea, will be fir to face Arsenal on Saturday, according to reports in Spain.

De Gea had dislocated his finger while on international duty last week, and was considered a major doubt to face the Gunners after missing both of Spain's matches.

United could without 12 first-team players for the match at the Emirates, but the Spanish paper have claimed that De Gea will be available for selection.

The bad news for United - Radamel Falcao, Phil Jones, Jonny Evans, Marcos Rojo and Ashley Young.

United are unbeaten in their last six matches against Arsenal, since a 1-0 defeat at the Emirates in May 2011, Aaron Ramsey scored the only goal of that game.

Arsenal have been given some good news on the injury front today too, Olivier Giroud will be in the squad for the first time since August after recovering from a broken ankle.
