This will certainly hold the key for Manchester United. The trio of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, and Jesse Lingard have been phenomenal for Jose Mourinho this season.

Mourinho was reluctant to play Rashford and Martial together early in the season, preferring Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Juan Mata. Their inability to break opponent defences were brutally exposed, leaving Mourinho with no option but to play them together.

Lingard did not get a lot of game time early in the season, but he is proving his worth to Mourinho after a superb performance against Watford at Vicarage Road.

These three combine to give a lot of pace for United at the flanks and Martial, in particular, is having a phenomenal season. He has been simply unstoppable, on some occasions, this season, with 6 goals and 2 assists. Rashford has been consistent as usual, and Lingard provides the X-factor for Mourinho.

Romelu Lukaku provides enough power and strength up front, and he will be key for Mourinho in the box, to use the pocket of spaces created by the pace of Martial, Rashford, and Lingard. Arsenal's defence will definitely find it difficult to deal with the threat of this attacking quartet.

Combined stats of Rashford, Martial, and Lingard in the Premier League this season:

Minutes Played - 1727

Goals - 10

Assists - 9
