    Can't understand why everyone is being negative today !

    Arsenal are a better side than PSG, regardless of what the current make up of the squad is, and this is their most important match of whats left of the season as they have it easy after this match.

    Win this and its a good chance they secure top four and we dont catch them again as our run in is harder i believe.

    Yes you can

    Sokratis completely dominated Kane last week, we need to put a more skilful player against him/through the middle

    He did indeed have a great game but our forward play is slightly different to Spurs though. They look for Kane a lot more than we look for a single player, especially with Alii out

    Arsenal are a top top side with world class players in every position.

    We’re up against it
     
    Do Arsenal have any injury concerns ?
    I think the one player I'm worried about is Ramsey.He danced around us in the Fa Cup tie earlier this season.
    Juve got a player there.

    Disagree with your first point. However, confidence has lifted this squad beyond all expectations. I feel most are expecting a draw or loss and are just preparing themselves early in case it happens. It happens whenever a team goes on a long run. If SAF was the manager I think most would be confident.

    Curious if those expecting us to lose or draw have reflected that in the score prediction or do you always predict a win but post your gut’s prediction?
     
    I’m confident we’ll get the win, but nervous that we’re due for a disappointing performance.
     
    Lukaku and Rashford will be like a dog with a bone today after the week they've had.
     
    I think our performance,if we were to lose,will still be full of energy and commitment.
    That's one of the major elements we lacked under Jose and Moyes ie attitude,commitment.

    I think we personally showed the right commitment under LVG. We were just done by his footballing philosophy and the lack of overall talent we had at the time to fit into it (style).
     
    Dunno why but this doesn't quite feel like a matchday. Think I still haven't recovered from Wednesday. Hope the players aren't feeling the same way.
     
    Make no mistake this is a 6 points game. We will be 4 points ahead of gunners or 1 point behind them.

    A win brings us to same number of points as spurs too.

    Given our current form, another away victory will be a cherry on top of what has been amazing week thus far.

    I expect lots of good energy from everyone out there today and Pogba to run the show.
     
    Going to do them with a lot to spare.
    I'm going 4-0 since theyll crumble if we score first. Either a narrow loss or a big win.
     
    Confidence and self-belief are making United one difficult team to come against. Improving with each game, Ole getting lads back from injuries, I think Emery and his team will have their hands full today.
    United win for me.

    How is it possible it's still two hours till kick-off?

    Because it's windy as feck and I've been woken from sleep. Am on bloody nights at the PLTV channel and I've been up since 12 fml.
     
    Most likely go with a diamond as we normally do in tough away games. Worked well for us when we beat Arsenal away from home in the cup.

    Ive gone with:

    De Gea
    Young Smalling Lindelof Shaw
    McTominay Matic Pogba
    Pereira
    Rashford Lukaku

    Martial, Fred, Bailly​

    I would be very very impressed if arsenal deliver a big fight tomorrow. These are moments that have defined them in the past decade. When the chips are down they have shown over and over again that they just crumble anyway. No shred of fight.

    Tired after Europa league and a must win to keep pace on top 4 against a team that embarrasses you at home. If that can’t motivate you...

    Yep, they're pussies.

    Young - Smalling - Lindelöf - Shaw

    Rashford - Lukaku - Martial

    This should be a comfortable win, Smalling will take care of Aubameyang and our front trio will destroy the Arsenal defense.

    I picked the same team in the prediction game too. Dalot, Pereira and Bailly are my subs.

    Don't know about the comfortable part but i'm not nervous about the game at all. We should win. A performance like the FA Cup game from a couple of weeks ago would be nice.

    Be interesting to see how he does against one of the top 6 sides if he were to be picked against Arsenal today.
    Gave him the benefit of doubt against PSG as we should have more of the ball today.

    I'm concerned that some of the players may be a little 'hungover' from Wednesday nights escapades, so a scrappy 0-1 will more than suffice.
     
    Will be one of the most difficult away games we've had. A win would be brilliant, I wouldn't be too disappointed with a draw.

    Arsenal won't be cocky like PSG, they know what we can do. They'll also know more about how our injury weaknesses shape our tactics, and try and exploit them. I don't think they'll give us the chance to go for the usual counter this time - Emery is not a fool.

    I expect them to play more conservatively for at least the first half today, keep their backline deep, man mark Pogba and give us our own game with Auba/Lacazette/Iwobi/Ramsey on the counter. Wouldn't be surprised to see 3 at the back with wing backs tracking back to cover our wide men in defence and providing width and dragging Young/Shaw out in attack.

    Neither side would be happy with a draw though - if its level by the 75 minute marks, the game will open up quite nicely.

    Not sure I’d agree with that, Arsenal are a good team but they’re not better than PSG.

    Interesting how the mid weeks effect this game. United obviously but Arsenal played on Thursday and we all remember how shite that Thurs/Sunday turn around was.
     
    Really nervous about the game now with what happened to Spurs and what's happening to Chelsea. We always fecked up when other teams around us did and we had chances to pull away.

    But then again, that was under the other guy! This game's going to be massive! :nervous:
