We’ll have Partey instead of Lokonga, and that will make a huge difference. He was excellent yesterday and it was his off ball impact I noticed the most.
Hopefully Rashford is on the left or central as I’d be terrified of him on Zinchenko’s flank.
Need to win this, so many indifferent United sides recently managed to frustrate or outdo us. They are in good form and their record against the bigger teams has been good but we need to find a way to beat them
Just realised we have a very good advantage for this. They are playing mid week but we have a full week of rest
3-2 to us.
They'll be very dangerous if they manage to beat our press , which they have done consistently in recent times .Rashford has the pace and is also in great form. We will have to be careful with how far we push up the pitch
This is a massive test for us, Man Utd have quietly got themselves involved into the Title race without anyone realising it. They will be out there to peg us back and as we found out are lethal on the counter.
we got over one major hoodoo by winning at spurs. these fucks are another. whenever we're in a position to stick the knife into man united in a crunchtime game we get butter fingers. their supporters are also chirping again, especially considering theyre the only side to beat us this season. ending their little winning run would be rocket fuel for us
3-0 to us.
We are at home. We're gonna win.
We actually have a very good record against these guys at home in the last few years.
Like against Spurs, I'm worried about the referee. Had a quick look and it's Anthony Taylor. 😢
Will happily take a draw. They're is superb form and the thought of them winning and being just three points behind us makes me sick.
I am Arsenal Till I Die They're is superb form
We're in superb form. Tactically I think Ten Hag will be cleverer than Conte was, by a mile.
Bit worried this might be the match we get punished down the left.
I am Arsenal Till I Die Hell no. Let's win.
No Casmeiro 🎉
That clogger McTominay will probably play and get away with fouling our players to kingdom come.
just have to run rings around Fred and mctominay for 90 minutes at home. seems doable
We have a load of players on 4 yellows too, Saka, Saliba, Gabriel off the top of my head, Xhaka too? Bound to be lol.
Can see 1 of the cbs getting booked for stopping a counter 🫣
Panda luckily our next game is against Everton who are in dire form.
Panda My concern would be beating United over having people suspended for a cup match or Everton
Good news in a way @Panda, we can hope 3 or 4 out of those players at risk get the "reset" until 10 yellows after this since it's the season midway point.
As @Big Willie points out anyone that gets to 5 yellows against United will miss Everton. Really it's pretty convenient.
Do suspensions not count for cup games? The next game after this is City in the FA cup.
Pepe LeFrits I looked it up for that post (needed to double check all the rules) and I'm 90% any ban from cumulative yellows is served only in the league.

They do not.
