Can't wait for this! It feels like the good old days with the Utd V Arsenal rivalry through the 90's
I hope it’s a good game with a few goals (for us!) and of course us to win. A draw isn’t too bad a result but win would be perfect, catch us up on points more and knock their confidence.
I just hope after all this hype the match won't be an edgy tight affair which I’ve got a feeling it could be.

Nice and early 5:30am kickoff for me... love waking up and the first thing you do is run downstairs to watch United and the house is nice and quiet.
I think this will be a very entertaining match and Im really looking forward to the suspense involved in a close match. As much as I love watching United win 4-0 I miss having those close games where any second the game could turn on its head... Im really hoping this game is like that.
The only change I would make to most your lineups is take out Giggs and put him in for Nani. I havent been impressed by Giggs at all this season and dont think he should be out there. And while you guys are gonna say that his experience is gonna be needed.. I think that Nani's speed, workrate and cannon of a shot are going to be needed more.
Im taking United to win this 2-0 with Ronaldo and Rooney being the goalscorers.

Ok , ok ok. Now there is one thing that just doesn't seem logic here. Why does Hargreaves have to man mark Fabregas? We have to keep in mind that Fabregas isn't the only threat. If we concentrate on him alone then players like Hleb who has been outstanding this season and Rosicky could punish us and make us pay. I predict the first half i going to be non stop action but not really Gung Ho type. Second half will solely depend on the score at half time. If it's a draw at half time then we're gonna be in for a outstanding second half . However if any of the two teams lead at H.T then it could turn out to be a crappy match. But then again all rests to be seen. This is the team i would play. ....................................E.VDS....................................
Brown..........Ferdinand(C)......Vidic..............Evra ................................................................................... ...................Hargreaves........................................... ...............................................Anderson.................. ................................................................................... Ronaldo...................Tevez...........................Giggs ................................................................................... ..............................Rooney.......................................
What Fergie has the habit of doinf is playing unusual formations in big matches. Fergie needs to have confidence in him self and play to our teams' strenghts.
One magical moment can determine the winner. Hope it comes from one of our lads.
Prediction: 3-2 to united. Scorers: Rooney X2, Nani off the bench.
COME ON UTD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Louis Saha and Michael Carrick both return to Manchester United's squad for Saturday's top-of-the-table showdown with Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.
Saha has been plagued by injury throughout the campaign but has finally shrugged off a long-standing knee problem, while Carrick has now recovered from the dislocated elbow he suffered against Roma last month.
Skipper Gary Neville will not be risked despite his reserve-team comeback on Thursday night but, aside from long-term casualties Mikael Silvestre, Park Ji-sung, Paul Scholes and Ben Foster, everyone else is fit.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted he can call on Carrick and Saha again for such a tough assignment.
He said: "It's the strongest position we've been in this season. Big games like this require your strongest team to be available."
Ferguson knows the importance of Saturday's game, but says it alone won't decide the destination of the Premier League title.
"You can lose points anywhere in this league. Both teams will be hell-bent on making sure they win. That's the mouthwatering aspect about tomorrow.
"Anybody who has a ticket will be rubbing their hands."
Man Utd (from): Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Brown, Simpson, Ferdinand, Vidic, Pique, Evra, O'Shea, Ronaldo, Fletcher, Hargreaves, Carrick, Anderson, Giggs, Nani, Tevez, Rooney, Saha.

An almost full squad!! Woo hoo!

Getting this game on paper view and watching it after work. Can't wait for this game, it's going to be huge. We need the victory here to put us on top. However, after last season I'm a bit nervous about the outcome. We need to concentrate on Cesc of course, but can't look only to him. I don't think there's going to be more than 1 goal this game. It's going to be 1-0, to which team... I hope United, but I dunno.

my prediction for tomorrow: LOL. Fantastic. Get im Rooney boy. but keep it fair, don't want a red card If you hit them fairly and hard enough, they eventually bugger off back to Spain -- see Reyes for details Can't wait for this one. Make it tomorrow now please. Reckon we can win 2-1. Rooney and Tevez.
