Arsenal's Petr Cech will start vs. Manchester United
You had your chance, David Ospina.
Sunday's clash between Arsenal and Manchester United will see Petr Cech return to the Gunners' starting XI after manager Arsene Wenger controversially opted to start Ospina in his club's Champions League defeat to Olympiacos.
Cech, who appeared in all seven of Arsenal's Premier League fixtures so far this season, was forced to watch Ospina commit a howler Wednesday that helped Olympiacos claim a 3-2 victory at the Emirates Stadium and put the Gunners on the verge of an early exit in Europe's most prestigious club competition.
Arsenal's players were reportedly baffled by Wenger's decision to start Ospina, and the manager defended his decision by arguing that Cech was omitted because of "a slight alert" regarding an injury.
