Well it's me again, I'm afraid I'm not going to make this match, the wife booked this weekend away months ago and when the fixtures came out I had a fucking heart attack, still I'll see it on the telly, can anyone see anything other than a UTD win, what with Arsenals midweek away trip, suspensions & injuries we have no excuse, hoping for more cracking footy from the kids.

A draw actually wouldn't surprise me. Feels like it's all going too well.
I agree with Lawro on BBC though - think SAF might draft in some experience for this one.
Gonna be stuck watching this with two Gooner mates so we'd better nail it.
2-1 to us.

Would be a massive boost for Clevers and Welbeck if they get starts i think. Holding thumbs, Clevers is looking more and more comfortable in the center with Ando. If this system stays the same i can see a Clevers and Park partnership in Europe, creativity and work rate, thoughts?

What the fuck does Berba have to do to get a look in these days? IMO if he wasn't going to figure he should have been shipped out as he doesn't deserve to be so far down the pecking order.

I think with the style of football we have been playing so far this season he doesn't really fit in with it. I think we've played some really good fast flowing fluent one touch stuff. Whilst he can do the one touch passing he tends to slow down play. Another thing is Welbeck is prepared to stay right up top, allowing Rooney to play deeper (which he has been doing fantastically well, has easily been the best player in the PL since the end of last season), however Berbatov likes to drop back as well, essentially leaving us with no real out and out striker. |

This games worries me. By all rights we should batter Arsenal but a brilliant performance and backs against the wall shite from them wouldn't suprise me. Think we'll win but it will be bloody tough.

Missing Song, Gervinho, Wilshire (key player for them this year), Frimpong, Diaby, Squillaci, Koscielny, Gibbs and possibly Vermaelen, going to be a very makeshift midfield. Only real worry for me is Walcott vs Evra, other than that I think we should be fairly comfortable.
Same lineup as against Spurs, only thing he may change is opting for 3 in the middle with Carrick coming in, would surprise me though as Welbeck's pace could be a problem for their backline.
3 - 0 for me.

Vermaelen's not injured is he?

After the Udinese game Wenger said he took a bit of a knock and wasn't sure if he'd be fully fit for the game or not (at least I think he did, sure it was Vermaelen he was on about).

If it's true, that's a huge blow
