It seems TV5, Arteta, Sagna and Henry may not make the Squad for the Sunday Match, that will be a big blow to the defensive capabilities of the team as we will now have to make do with Djorou, Metersaca, Kochielny and Miquel at the back and Rosicky who is a creative midfielder to replace Arteta who does more of possession and channeling the ball forward. To beat Manure we need a strong defense and a good midfield. We may have to change tactics if we are to win this game. Lets see what Wenger will do to kill the manure. I will go for a draw or a slim 2-1 win.

Correction @McDoba, both Jones and Smalling are fit for the game, thankfully

I wish Wellbeck had not injured himself scoring the @nd goal against Bolton last week, I'd have preferred his pace,strength and hustle kubabaisha the tall Arsenal defense - but maybe Chicharito's pace or Berba's tact may exploit the back four, coupled with Rooney on the end of Valencia's crosses (seeing as it'll be a batlle between him and Ignasi Miquel) . This is what I hope will be our squad for the game:

Lindergaard (De Gea is having laser eye surgery)

Smalling/Rafael - Rio - Jones/Evans - Evra/Fabio

Valencia - Carrick/Jones - Scholes/Park Giggs - Nani

Rooney - Chicha/Berba

At least we have options. I predict a Man Utd win simply because of Arsenal's current defensive lack of options. I hope it is a big one - like 3-0 or 4-1

TV5 and Henry are doubdful but might just be able to make it!!!

Norwich vs Chelsea - 2 : 2
Bolton vs Liverpool 1 : 2
City vs Spurs - 1 : 1
Arsenal vs Man Utd - 2 : 2

@ Mc Reggae...hata sitaki Henry, TV5's presence would be enough for us.

@ Smano...Last time we had a defence line of Traore, Djourou, Koscielny and Jenkinson thats probably the most inexperienced one we've ever fielded. Like i said it will be a low scoring match that will go either way. I'm also pleased Scholes is around, hapa kadi lazima!
