I never seem to worry about Arsenal coming to OT. Mind you I was like that before the FA Cup tie not too long ago. 4-2 in our favour. Great news Bellerend is out.

Perfectly happy to see Carrick in but he has to be protected, he can be very slow to move, decide & pass.Young or Darmian at Right back?
So stupid, but I chuckled.
Valencia. Think he might be a shock starter.Only thing I want to see is Rashford as a striker & Martial as LW, with Mata as no.10
Yeh, it's arsenal. A side that's finished above us for 3 consecutive seasons and are 6 points ahead of us in this.No Fellaini please. Lingard, Mata, Martial and Rash as our front 4 PLEASE. Pogba and Herrera/Blind/Carrick behind. MkHitaryan to come on if Lingard are having a City-game
Tbf, since 1990 they've won 5 matches at OT, drawn 5 and we've won 15.Players seen at the Lowry:
De Gea
Romero
Valencia
Rojo
Herrera
Mata
Lingard
Young
Memphis
Martial
Rashford
Rooney
Arrived earlier:
Pogba
Mkhitaryan
Question marks over the defence but will probably have two of: Jones, Blind and Shaw in
Bollocks, if this place was full of gloryhunters, most would have been gone already.Can't see us not winning this one. Seen too many articles and comments about how Wenger will finally get one over Mourinho. The opposite always seems to come true
Good team
expect Valencia in.
Definitely go with this.
I like this team, but can't see Jose going with that front three. He spoke about how well Pogba played due to having Carrick, Mata, Herrera and Rooney around him, so I think we'll see Mata and/or Rooney start.I'm so excited!We got this, OT will be amazing I can't waitSurely Mourinho maintains his record over Wenger despite how shit we have been! not to mention since that 2004 game at OT where we ended their unbeaten run we have given Arsenal a lot of grief and they've never been the same again, they couldn't beat us even with bloody David Moyes as our manager and when we had a depleted squad last season at OT and the title was on the line.I'm expecting:
------------De Gea
-------4 fit defenders---------
-----Herrera------Fellaini----
Rashford-----Pogba------Lingard
-------------Rooney
Carrick for Fellani and I think that's right.
As for the defenders, Valencia, Jones, Rojo and Shaw I thinkLots of statistics work in our favor, Arsenal not winning at OT for a decade I think and winning just 3 games since PL was introduced and Wenger never winning vs Jose in PL.
Our last 3 managers have been making it a habit of breaking negative records, I hope it won't happen today. We usually smack them even when we're low.On the way to Manchester. Last time I saw us play Arsenal was the 8-2...set the bar too fecking high.
That's because we used to be better than arsenal. We aren't anymore.
I'm sure Liverpool used to be able to boast stats like that to. Means nothing now though, does it?Rooney and Fellaini will start and you can bet your life we will park the bus - even at OT. I expect a dull 0-0DDGI kind of wish that Rashford is played ahead of rooney through the middle, but I don't think that will happen.
Darmian - Jones - Blind - Shaw
Carrick - Herrera
Mata - Pogba - Rashford
Rooney
Expecting both to start but don't think we'll be quite as defensive as we were in the 2nd half of the Liverpool game.
Also hoping for Rashford through the middle.
I think Mourinho loves Fellaini for these games, just like LVG did.
I don't understand it, since with Carrick & Herrera we actually have a chance to control the game, while if Fellaini plays you just know we'll be pushed back and won't be able to put 3 passes together before punting it long. But I guess statistics work in his favour (2nd balls, set pieces,...).
According to Jose Fellaini is still injured. He withdrew from the Belgium sqaud and was not in the training picture yesterday.hoping to see

Darmian if Valencia isn't fit
have a feeling he might use Fellaini in this instead of Carrick and try and kill the gameIf Martial's on the bench it'll confirm that Jose's mismanaging him. I bet he starts with Rooney, Fellaini instead. I'm fast losing faith and have no confidence for today
jose is going to build a wall. It's going to yuge and tremendous, and wenger is going to pay for it!Confirmed United squad members photographed at The Lowry:
De Gea
Romero
Valencia
Rojo
Herrera
Mata
Lingard

Blind lives nearby and usually joins up later.
Although that still only makes 15 and two of them are goalies. The M.E.N. are saying Fellaini is injured and Jose said he was.
Ah fair enough then. Will be interesting to see how Jose sets us up in that case, given we've no big man to hit.
Think Pogba is a rather tall man myself.We have to win this. time to start pushing for Top 4Can't wait for this.
Guaranteed starters for us today are Cech, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Xhaka, Ozil and Theo. Jenkinson likely takes the right back spot and then any of Ramsey, Sanchez, Giroud and Iwobi for the final two spots. Hoping for the first two, Iwobi's in a poor run of form and I expect us to play on the counter, making Giroud a liability. Evidence suggests either team could blow the other away in the first half hour, or it'll be a cagey and boring draw. The latter sounds most likely.
Smash and grab I reckon.
Rashford
Martial - Mata - Lingard
Pogba - Herrera
Blind - Rojo - Jones - Valencia
De GeaWonder if the "rumour" came from the man himself. Although Luckhurst's track record is pretty poor.
-------------------------De Gea----------------------

But who am I kidding? It will be Rooney up front- Status
