Danny Welbeck doubtful for Arsenal ahead of crunch clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford

- The Gunners lead United by two points entering this weekend's fixtures
- Arsenal are aiming to secure third place in the Premier League standings
Former Manchester United forward Danny Welbeck is doubtful as Arsenal go to Old Trafford on Sunday bidding to secure a top-three place in the Premier League and with it automatic qualification to the Champions League group stages.
Welbeck, who moved to the Emirates Stadium last August and scored the goal which saw the Gunners advance in the FA Cup at United's expense in March, has missed the last two matches with a knee injury.
'Danny Welbeck has a little possibility to be fit,' said Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
Danny Welbeck, in action against Chelsea last month, hasn't featured for Arsenal in their last two games
Welbeck scored for Arsenal in their FA Cup victory at Manchester United earlier this season
'Maybe Welbeck will be available but at the moment he looks short.'
The Gunners have three games remaining and lead United, who have played a game more, by two points entering this weekend's fixtures.
Win at Old Trafford and Arsenal will consign United to a Champions League qualifying tie early next season and enter the group phase automatically themselves.
Wenger is still without Mikel Arteta (ankle), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (groin) and Mathieu Debuchy (hamstring), along with Abou Diaby (knee).
Aaron Ramsey is still recovering from a leg injury sustained against Hull and will not feature against United
Football analysts BSports believe a home win for Manchester United is the most likely outcome
Aaron Ramsey is still to return to training following the leg injury he sustained against Hull.
'I don't think we have any big injuries,' Wenger added.
'I don't know how long the others will be out for, it's difficult to say, but hopefully they will play again this season.'
