    Team picks itself:

    De Gea
    Young Smalling Lindelof Shaw
    McTommy
    Fred Pogba
    Dalot Lukaku Rashford
    ​
    I think this will be a 2-2 draw. Arsenal have picked up some form off late and we will be a little drained, both mentally and physically, after today's heroics.

    I don’t see this being as straightforward as people think. They’ll be out for revenge after what happened in the FA Cup tie.

    Hope we sneak it though, got a feeling it’ll be by a narrow margin.

    I'd take a draw. That still leaves us ahead of Arsenal and we'll have Chelsea at Old Trafford.
     
    I'd take a draw.

    Hopefully Matic and Martial will be back, even tough Lukaku and Rash will probably keep their places in the starting eleven.

    A fresh Pogba against these pansies. We probably gonna wreck them
     
    We go again. Looking forward to this, can't believe I would be thinking that when this run of tough fixtures was on the horizon and you know who was in charge.
     
    Not sure how many times people can keep referring to it being our (next) first real test.....
     
    Question is 433 and Dalot or diamond and Pereira. Everything else seems straightforward.
     
    I still firmly believe we need one or two back from injury to give us a strong chance of winning this game, but as long as we're not complacent or overconfident, we shouldn't lose this game even if a lot of our players are still missing (especially with Bailly now likely out). In the grand scheme of things, a draw is still a good result in this match but it'd probably mean nothing but a win against Chelsea at Old Trafford next month will do. Ideally, Phil Jones will be back for the bench along with Martial, hopefully one of Herrera or Matic but that might be a bit optimistic:

    de Gea
    Young Smalling Lindelof Shaw
    Fred McTominay Pogba
    Dalot Lukaku Rashford
    ---
    Romero; Jones, Rojo; Garner, Chong; Greenwood, Martial​

    PhysioRoom (however reliable you want to believe it is) has Jones, Matic, Martial, and Darmian as possibly fit for the weekend. Odds are at least one of them will make the 18 IMO.

    Please no Fred at RM. Play him next to McTominay.

    Last night was crazy but we have to focus once again because this is a pivotal game and a 6 pointer. Midfield still looks fragile but at least Pogba will give us some quality in attack. We'll have to wait and see if anyone else will return but hopefully Martial can at least make the bench. Not sure if Lingard will be fit either but we'll miss his pressing if he isn't.

    I think it will be tougher this time, Arsenal look more potent with özil.
     
    As great as last night was, we absolutely can't afford to lose this game. Beating Arsenal and PSG in the space of a week would be fecking amazing. I'll start believing in unicorns if Solskjær told me they were real after that.
     
    De Gea
    Young - Smalling - Lindelof - Shaw
    McTominay - Fred
    Dalot - Pogba - Rashford

    I'd be surprised if the side is anything other than this.

    Let's play the Pessimists Cliche Bingo! 3 in a row for a win.

    I can't see us winning.

    Think Ole's streak will come to an end.

    Arsenal will be well up for this.

    Am expecting a hangover.

    Real test

    Happy with a draw
     
    Think the players will be well up for this one having gotten such a boost of confidence from PSG. We’ll beat arsenal.
     
    Hoping for Martial and maybe Matic to be back in time for this one - Martial I'm 90% sure he'll be ready based on the initial diagnosis. Matic I'm just having an optimistic feeling on considering he picked up his injury in training before the Liverpool game.

    Hereira, Lingard, Mata etc would be best served just waiting it out until after the Int'l break.

    DDG

    Shaw-Lindelof-Smalling-Young

    Pogba-Matic(Fred)-McTominay

    I think Dalot should be in your team rather then Fred. Dalot is more likely to score than Fred and is good in defence as well. But, Fred showed he can play last night.

    Fred had his best game for against PSG and while it's a different type of football to the PL in tempo and physicality, I think Ole will want to try and build on that confidence with another start. I want Dalot in the side as well but the only way I see it happening is if he's in as part of the front 3 and I don't think he works as well there as he does as either wingback or a RM.
     
    It's strange how I'm more confident for an away game than a home game these days. We're perfectly set up for these sort of games.
     
    Arsenal have Rennes away tonight. First leg ended goalless. Hope it goes to penalties for them.

    We have been so good away from home this season under Ole. Also did well against Juve with Mourinho too.
     
    I don't see any of the injured players coming back in a starting lineup whether its Arsenal, Wolves or later. Would be great to see Martial on the bench to come on and run at them in the last 20 minutes, especially when Arsenal have a day less to rest/prepare.
     
    Win this and we put 4 points between us and Arsenal. Huge game. And Rennes will do them tonight too.

    Hope to have Matic and Martial back for this. Our midfield still worries me, and Matic back will make us much more secure.

    Want Dalot at RB too, and I think Greenwood makes the bench again too.
     
    I'm thinking that the diamond is the best option for this game

    De Gea,

    Dalot, Smalling, Lindelof, Shaw

    Mctom
    Fred, Pogba
    Perreira

    Lukaku, Rashford
