You beat me to it by a matter of seconds!
Why the race to be the one who makes this thread?
actually both were created the same time.
It's been a long time since I was fighting for matchday threads, five minutes after Valencia game finished I saw that there's no thread for Arsenal so I decided to make it, I don't prefer those type of fights anymore, sorry nemanja15
Next threads are yours
Next threads are yours
If we go 4-5-1 I hope Rooney doesn't have to play wide-left.
But my thread was nearest the top of the page when they both had no posts and no views in them, indicating that it was made just after.
And no worries Maciek
Right, all out for this one, strongest side:
van der Sar
Rafael
Ferdinand
Vidic
Evra
Fletcher
Scholes
Anderson
Nani
Berbatov
Rooney
SUBS: Kuszczak, Brown, Smalling, Carrick, Park, Giggs, Hernandez.

Anderson must start, he's been great recently, plus he shits on Fabregas.

I'll be surprised if Berbatov starts this. Expecting a Nani Rooney Park frontline. You can't not play Park in a game like this.
Anderson Fletcher Scholes in midfield as well.

LB: Evra
RM: Nani
CM: Fletcher
CM: Scholes
LM: Park
CF: Rooney
CF: Berbatov

Anderson has to start for sure, hes easily been our best midfielder of the last few games, Fletcher is tailor made against Arsenal and Scholes is a classiest player in there, those 3 should get the nod.
Any news on the worrying lack of defenders?
Not just Rio, but Evra, Evans, O'Shea, Brown and Neville?

5-0.
Rio coming off was a precaution according to Sir alex at the end so hopefully hes fine for next week, got a full6 days to recover so should be ok, Evra and Scholes were training away from the squad yesterday so i half expected them not to feature tonight but again pretty much a week to recover.
Arsenal will win this.
Comfortably.
Comfortably.
14-0 United, Rafael all 14 from the bench.
We will have to score at least 2 becoz, unfortunately, we always concede.

Berbatov to come in for one of the 3 midfielders midway through second half.
2-1 to us, hopefully.

Is Ferdinand going to be out of this one?
Likely Arsenal line-up - Fabianski, Sagna, Koscielny, Squillaci, Clichy, Song, Cesc, Wilshere, Nasri, Chamakh, Arshavin.
Unlikely Arsenal line-up would include RVP and Djourou, although both would hardly hinder our chances.

Unlikely, Fergies says he was taken off as a precaution ahead of monday.
Fergie said tight hamstring, only precautionary taking him off (according to someone in the matchday thread).
That's 1.5 months old
History repeating itself.
Jesus fecking Christ, Monday, monday wtf!
Going to this - cannae fecking wait!
Bit disappointed that we seem to have lost a lot of momentum from the Blackburn game - but we should be bang up for this, and with a fresh squad too.

What???
Oh did not see the 2007
Fergie said Scholes is a doubt for Monday.
That might not be too bad actually. Some of the big games do pass him by. A Fletcher Anderson Carrick midfield will be very good defensively and Anderson will help us move forward.
I'll be there, can't wait. Should be a belter.
4-2 United.
4-2 United.
Good stuff, United have five or six defenders and Scholes trying to get back to fitness.
Scholes is a major doubt for arsenal according to SAF
I feel Kuszczak will make the bench instead of Amos.
That should give us the edge I feel.
I might actually be getting to this, obviously in the away end. I'm relying on a mate not to let me down. At least if I'm there, I won't be on the Caf immediately after to take the flak if we lose.
To be fair the last few games at OT have been very close (Haven't they all been 2-1 recently? 2009, 2008 and 2007 were, can't remember before that), so I expect similar. Both defences aren't up to scratch but both teams are playing some excellent attacking football, hopefully we see plenty of goals and a United win.
