What I want to see:
Bench: Lindegaard, Buttner, Scholes, Powell, Valencia, Nani, Welbeck.
Manchester United vs. Arsenal

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Valencia will start, with Hernandez on the bench.
I reckon team will be:
So many people leaving out Young. The fact he started against Chelsea and played alright, he will keep his place for this one.
I too am intrigued by the potential Ando-Carrick-Clev combo, but I just can't see us switching to a diamond or anything. We stuck with 4411 at Stamford Bridge and won (SAF even noted that it paid off after the game) - so I can't see us switching formation for this one.
RVP
Young - Rooney - Valencia
Cleverley - Carrick
Evra - Evans - Rio - Rafael
De Gea
Young - Rooney - Valencia
Cleverley - Carrick
Evra - Evans - Rio - Rafael

You might be right about Young, but then again, as much as I'd love the Ando-Carrick-Clev combo myself I just can't see SAF starting anyone but Scholes alongside Carrick, this I'm sure of.
In any case it's safe to say the line-up won't be like the one I'm dying to see.
There's something to be said for using the front 6 that destroyed Arsenal last season.
Anderson
Tom Cleverley
Nani
Ashley Young
Wayne Rooney
Danny Welbeck
If you took out Welbeck and put in Persie I think you'd have a damned exciting team.

We're facing a much better Arsenal team this year, I would not trust that defensively at all. We need Carrick.
Rooney and Van Persie will too much to handle for Arsenal
I want to hear 'Ohhh Robin van Persie' very loud and clear from the begining.
We also played in a yellow and blue kit back in the early seventies. Being a dumb teenager, I bought a scarf in those colours and nearly got battered in the Stretford End by one bloke who thought I was a Leeds fan,
The team I would like to see:
Subs: Lindegaard, M. Keane, Scholes, Fletcher, Young, Welbeck, Chicharito
Rooney - Van Persie - Valencia
Cleverley - Anderson
Carrick
Evra - Evans - Rio - Rafael
De Gea
Cleverley - Anderson

Evra - Evans - Rio - Rafael

Sexy, although I can see Young in there somewhere, maybe for Anderson
the Guardian has spoken
Is Chesney injured?
he's been on the bench the last few games after being suspended I think. Looks like Wenger is giving Mannone a proper go
No, he's been injured. If Szczesny could walk he'd be in ahead of Don Vito.
My mistake, I thought I saw him listed among your substitutes fairly recently
I think the guardian team is pretty damn close, I cant see us changing it especially after Chelsea and especially with Santos as left back, Valencia must be licking his lips for a go at him..... there we go I have jinxed it!
I'd hope that Fergie will swap Young for Anderson (to make it 433). Young was fine against Chelsea but nothing special. Ando surely earned a start with his performance.
5-4 us. Van Persie scoring all 5.
I really do hope we go with three in the middle (preferably Anderson, Carrick, and Cleverley) and three forward players (one of whom should still probably be Valencia).
aah, the Alan Gowling years......de-derr-de-de- derr-de Alan Gowling. Always picture him in that shirt with blue collars and blue V-neck. He had a degree in Economics, y'know
I was once stupid enough to go to a Maine Rd derby in the Kippax (half red/half blue) with my new sky blue Adidas sweat top. wtf? Got cornered in the bogs by some reds at HT and managed to hold them at bay with my 1" enamel '68 EC Winners badge shouting "feck off, I'm a fookin Red, me"
nice stories lads
I do hope Anderson plays!
Up very early tomorrow to make this.. Buzzing.

Whatever happens, it should be a brilliant game.
Ando deserves to start, hopefully Young doesn't.
It'd be better for Arsenal to have Walcott on the wing and Ramsey playing in the middle.Not sure if Wilshere is ready to start such a big game yet
Yes, Anderson deserves, but he can't play two games in three days, because his fitness is fecking shit.
You should understand this before you see the official line-up... without Anderson.
So you know what the official lineup is Maciek ? Are you ITK ?
How Nani has fallen, can't believe that he's such a game changer imagine him against Evra!
DDG
Rafael
Rio
Evans
Evra
Carrick
Cleverley
Scholes
Valencia
Rooney
RvP
I think Nani could have a big impact from the bench but Arsenal (Santos I assume?) won't be able to cope with Valencia's pace and Rafael overlapping.

Can't wait for this now. The only good thing about early kickoff is you don't have to wait the whole weekend to watch United.
Can't watch the game because I have a block seminar at my university from 10:30 am to 5 pm.
Soooo annoying.
Why the feck does the City game have to be in the evening and not ours?
Damn you FA, damn you.

Nani against Evra?
Can't wait for this. Come on boys!
I think you got this one wrong mate. Szczesny was injured, Fabianski as well. Szczesny came back for one game dropped a bollock fir Soton goal and got injured again.
I like the unpredictability of the line up, both in personnel and tactics. Would really like to see Ando push on (wouldn't we all?) and fergie saying he needs more games, now that he's clear of injuries, bodes well. Fingers crossed. Not overly confident about this one but future options looking good.
I have strange feeling for this one.
Draw or loss.
I'm with you. Think it feels the same as when they turned us over 0-1 in 2006. Late Adebayor goal.
Same here, strangely enough. Especially if we go 2 in CM with Carrick and Scholes.
But play 3 CMs (Carrick, Anderson, Cleverley), Rooney, RVP and another and I'll be fairly confident.
