Tincanalley · May 9, 2015

I hope for a great match, I hope Rooney is back, and I hope its a beautiful day in OT.

Raw · May 9, 2015

Win this and we'll be the first team to beat Arsenal home and away in the league this season (unless Swansea beat them on Monday).

Reckon we'll draw this though. At least Rooney, Shaw and Smalling don't have serious injuries.

SirAF · May 9, 2015

If liverpool don't beat Chelsea tomorrow then this match could be pretty pointless, I can't see us clawing back Arsenal for the 3rd place even if we beat them next week.

Only way to get 3rd is to hope City drop 6 points out of their remaining 3 games (and us to win both our games). Arsenal would have to drop 9 points for us to overtake them, which won't happen.

Yup.

ChaddyP · May 9, 2015

Need a win here.. Just from a fan point of view

Sammyjunn · May 9, 2015

Can be a disheartening match, if we continue to play like this.

ivaldo · May 9, 2015

Rado_N · May 9, 2015

0-2

Cazorla & Welbeck

Kraftwerker · May 9, 2015

We'll dominate the game and beat them.

Pride dictates they won't park the bus.

That will suit us.

17Larsson · May 9, 2015

Arsenal won't sit back so I can see us getting a result in this

Hojoon · May 9, 2015

Dead rubber.

Palace did not park the bus either

Raw · May 9, 2015

One positive is that we seem to play better against the bigger teams. Arsenal do have a very good away record though, and they do seem more defensively resilient than usual.

We were just shit and nervous.

We won't be at home to Arsenal with hopefully the pressure of top 4 off.

buckooo1978 · May 9, 2015

think this could be a bit more relaxed for us with 4th place confirmed....we've an outside chance of 3rd though so hopefully we can get torn into Arsenal

I'd like to see this team with Herrera sitting deeper

------------------------------DDG----------------------------
Valencia----------Smalling--------Jones--------------Shaw
-------------------------Herrera---Fellaini--------------------
Di Maria-------------------Mata-----------------------Young
--------------------------------Rooney----------------------

Nozzy · May 9, 2015

If they want to, Arsenal could take this United team apart - woeful today.

I sure hope so. If Chelsea win tomorrow, maybe the lads will be more relaxed, and maybe LVG can play Periera/ Wilson, who will have lots to prove. Lets face it, there is no way in hell that we will ever get 3rd, so we can give the youngsters some game time.

Nozzy · May 9, 2015

Periera is no where near ready - he's on the bench because of injuries.

Kill 'em all · May 9, 2015

We will win.

PlayerOne · May 9, 2015

If we don't get Rooney, Smalling and Shaw back then I'm worried.

Gerald G · May 9, 2015

If Chelsea beat Liverpool then there's nothing on this and just pride to play for. We won't finish in the top three.
LVG said Rooney just had a dead leg, Smalling - cramp and Luke Shaw feeling a bit dizzy but he's fine.

De Gea
Valencia--Jones--Smalling--Shaw
Blind
Herrera--Fellaini
Mata--Rooney--Young

subs: Valdes, Evans, Rojo, Januzaj, Wilson, van Persie, Falcao

Give Adnan minutes off the bench. If van Persie hasn't recovered then put Rothwell on the bench.

Snow · May 9, 2015

I predict a United victory but that's just confidence in history. No idea what the fitness status will be. It worries me. The team that played the 2nd half against Crystal Palace won't win Arsenal unless Arsenal play like they did in the 1st game, incapable of scoring.

LawCharltonBest · May 9, 2015

Draw. 1-1.

BringNaniBack · May 9, 2015

If Liverpool lose to Chelsea tomorrow it would be good to see us try something a bit different against Arsenal. With top 4 sealed we won't have anything to lose. It would be good if we could try someone different at DM, not that we have many options there but Blind is poor there and is not good enough to be our DM long term IMO. I would even like to see what Mcnair could do there.

We won't park the bus we'll run you over with it.

Red Dreams · May 10, 2015

Trizy · May 10, 2015

Quite comfortable, we seem to be excellent against a team that doesn't park the bus.

3-1 United. (If Smalling, Shaw and Rooney are back)

Attila · May 10, 2015

No Carrick makes me think we won't win.

Boycott · May 10, 2015

Should be a great game. Always goals in this. Nothing to play for hopefully by next week so both teams should be going at each other.

Skills · May 10, 2015

We'll dick them. It's Arsenal ffs.

SonnyTheHaloPro · May 10, 2015

This has always been my favourite fixture of the season especially under Ferguson.

The players should want revenge for the FA cup exit, and Van Gaal needs to win this because the season needs to be ended on a high.

Kill 'em all · May 10, 2015

If Liverpool lose, we can give Pereira and Januzaj a couple of games.

WyoManU · May 10, 2015

I am fearful for us.

Adisa · May 10, 2015

Arsenal are playing some terrific stuff. This could be ugly.

The Azzurri · May 10, 2015

There is a chance we'll get humiliated at OT, 3-0 or 4-0 to arsenal

thejtrain · May 10, 2015

Almost nothing to lose, but a draw at least will do nice!

bosnian_red · May 10, 2015

You negative feckers. How have you not realized after the first run of tough games and this one that just passed, that we play so much better against big teams? Like, the run happened 4 games ago, it wasn't that long ago.

Anyways, slightly worried with all the injuries, as I have no idea who will be fit or not. Best case scenario is only Carrick injured sadly, but my guess for the lineup would be:

De Gea
Valencia Smalling Jones Shaw
Blind
Herrera Fellaini
Mata Rooney Young

Personally I think I would rather Rooney/RvP in midfield and the other up top with Herrera holding then Blind holding... very big chance Blind will get overrun there. Don't think that will happen though.

Hope this game would be a dead rubber. Common chelsea.
