Been studying for Exams so I have missed a heap of news. So sorry if its has been answered.

Has DDG recovered?
Is Falcao a chance to play?
Also how far away are the rest of our injuries?
And what is the chances of Welbz and Sanchez lining up?

Sorry about all the questions.

Yes
No
2 weeks for most players but Blind for a long time.
Welbeck should start as he trained well. Sanchez might be forced to start.

 

[ManUArfa]

Anybody know if McNair and Shaw are fit to play?

 

[DysenteryGary]

I know it's been asked many times before, but I've had a busy week and didn't have time to browse the forums, so I'd like to ask which players who'd normally play today are injured? What team could we expect with fit players?

 

[Louis Van Halen]

I'm going to predict:

--------------De gea
-------Smalling Carrick Blackett
Valencia---------------------Young
------------Fellaini Herrera
----------------Di Maria-----------
----------van persie Rooney

Welbeck to score and arse to win is 4/1 on coral. Worth a pop.

welbeck's going to score. ..its certain to happen and martin tyler will jizz his pants all over it

 

[jonesy00]

Yes
No

Thanks heaps

 

[Newgate]

We should be aiming to win.

Agreed!

Wouldn't be surprised if we go back to the 4-1-4-1 which we were using earlier on this season for this. Arteta - Ramsey - Wilshere in the middle, Ramsey's been very poor this season but Wenger doesn't seem to want to drop him. Don't want to see Flamini anywhere near that starting 11, he's really been exposed for the average player he is in the last few weeks.

Sanchez and Welbeck alternating between the left and upfront then either Cazorla or Chamberlain on the right wing, hopefully the Ox who atleast going forward has looked really promising lately.

Will most likely be Chambers Mertersacker Monreal and Gibbs. He might bring our young right back Bellerin in to deal with the pace of Di Maria and Shaw down the left hand side and move Chambers to centre back but I'm not convinced he will do that. Mertersacker simply has to step up, him and Ramsey have been the two most dissapointing players this season.

I think this will be the first interesting game between both sides in a long time.

Tony Valencia features on the official Matchday poster. Antonio as the Right back then

Spoiler: Official Matchday Poster - Arsenal vs Manchester United

 

[Tom Van Persie]

This is what I would go for.

De Gea
Valencia Smalling Blackett Shaw
Carrick
Herrera Di Maria
Fellaini
Rooney van Persie
​

2-1 United.

 

[nutmegrush]

Remember that these:

De Gea
Evra
Jones
Evans
Smalling
Anderson (Giggs - 68' )
Nani (Park Ji-sung - 68' )
Young
Cleverley
Rooney
Welbeck

executed the 8-2, we should go into the game with high expectation

 

[Ole Gunner Scholes]

Watching BT Sport Match Day Live with Fletch and Savage right now & they are talking to David James about ISL (Indian Super League). They even got the league table wrong

Looks like Chicharito

No idea how this one is going to go, but Arsenal do tend to fold like a cheap suit sometimes against us, so hope is present. The team news will be very interesting.

 

[Empire]

Isn't this Bayern Munich?

I'm not sure, I was thinking more of how Ajax 95 lined up in quite a few games.

 

[R'hllor]

Merson predicts 2:1 win for Arsenal...for some reason i feel more positive about us not loosing.

 

[Thisistheone]

edit, the 2nd part of his tweet is now up.

 

[The United Irishman]

Anyone else having problems submitting their line-ups?

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

I bet LVG is chuffed to have Young back available. Seems to rate him above Shaw.

 

[Blue always red]

Not been so excited for a game in so long. The two weeks have definitely dragged.

 

[KM]

I bet LVG is chuffed to have Young back available. Seems to rate him above Shaw.

Yes clearly

 

[Thisistheone]

Just seen the 2nd part of Bates' tweet and he says it all depends on Shaw being fit or not.

 

[Taher Shah]

Does this guy get the lineups usually right

Worried AF

 

[Thisistheone]

He's pretty good yes. Check his 2nd tweet though, regarding Shaw.

 

[Infra-red]

Jesus god that Steve Bates lineup is awful. Lets hope Shaw passes that fitness test.

 

[Stringer]

You clearly know what you're talking about.

 

[KM]

3-5-2 is a valid option since we don't have any fecking fullbacks fit right now. Still not liking the continued absence of Herrera. Bates has got a pretty good record this season with United lineup but as of now he's only reporting how we set up in the training rather than the team itself.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

Just seen the 2nd part of Bates' tweet and he says it all depends on Shaw being fit or not.

Please be fit Luke!

 

[KM]

You clearly know what you're talking about.

Making a senseless post is @Sparky Rhiwabon's speciality.

 

[Zoo]

I've said it before but it annoys me that there is a leak in the camp.

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

You clearly know what you're talking about.

In a 352 I mean. Although, he does seem to rate Young.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

McNair and Blackett at the back.. I've got a horrible feeling about this.

 

[Devil may care]

Come on Luke! Is LvG really this obsessed with the left footed CB thing that he can't play McNair there for one game?

 

[izec]

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

Remember that these:

De Gea

Now put up the starting 11 Arsenal fielded... that was a freak result.

 

[ottosec]

Bates is always spot on when it comes to our lineups. So let's pray Shaw will be fit.

 

[Taher Shah]

When do MUTV release their predicited line up? They are usually right mott

Spoiler

Is mott which stands for "most of the time" a real abbreviation?

Spoiler

Was that a correct time to use a spoiler

 

[KM]

So he's clearly speculating. Loving the second lineup btw. C'mon Luke!

 

[lem8sh]

Now put up the starting 11 Arsenal fielded... that was a freak result.

Exactly. They had Coquelin defensive mid that day!

 

[Moonred]

Late fitness tests never go well..

 

[Taher Shah]

Remember Andre Santos. The worst full back in premier league history. Wish he was playing against Di maria
