Come on, 5 games isn’t much either.I don't need to wait to the end of the season. He's been very good so far for Arsenal last season and this season so far. You can have your very poor opinion based off probably 1 game or some highlights

Very hard to predict the starting XI for this game.
My guess is that Eriksen will make way for Casemiro, with Ronaldo starting ahead of Elanga.I see a lot saying we should bench Eriksen, however I feel there's an element of control he gives us in midfield that we'll miss if he's benched.
May be a worthwhile sacrifice as against this confident Arsenal side, we may go with a grafting side set up to counter.Why would you bench Eriksen?For the harmony of the squad…a Ronaldo goal/winner would be very welcome.
But lets not get too greedy after 3 wins on the bounce.
It’s not a question of benching Eriksen, it’s a question of starting Casemiro. One of the midfielders has to make way: either McTominay, Eriksen or BrunoDDG

3-1 United
That's what Fergie used to do to Wenger's Arsenal. Discombobulate them and break their rhythm.Such a massive game, a win would put is well in the mix. Need our defence switched on for this one as their passing around the box has been great this season.

United 2 - 1 ArsenalThe only reason I would bench Eriksen is if he was too tired. He makes us tick and is arguably more important to the way we play than Bruno is.Antony will at least be on the bench as Garnacho is playing for the U21’s todayNo idea why so many people put Antony in their starting lineup, there is no way he is starting after couple of days with us.
I'm not sure even Casemiro will start, I expect the same midfiled of MCT, Bruno and Eriksen to start, the only change I can see is Ronaldo instead of Elanga with Sancho on the right and Rashford left.

He’s trained, and even played, mire recently than that.
Hey I want him to start but if we took this long with Casemiro and Ronaldo I wonder if Antony needs time tooUnchanged line up. Cashmere Tonaldo Antony subs.I expect

Not seen that but I do reckon he'll start tomorrow.Last edited:If Antony is match fit then play him instead of Elanga. I mean what worse could happen?------------De Gea

For me Antony hasn't had enough minutes to be a starter, Ronaldo should now have match fitness, same with Casemiro.
McT, Fred will come on around 60 minutes and Antony for the final 10 I thinkI think Ronaldo has to start this one. We need to score and use Rashford's legs as a sub later on.Ronaldo and Casemiro to come in hopefully.
We have to start attacking as soon as the whistle blows. No hesitation no let up, just bombardment.Hope ETH go for a very physical game plan; that we focus on being rough and aggressive in defence, especially in Arsenal’s play up to midfield. If we do that I think win probability is 65/35.
Casemiro, McT and Bruno on midfield
I think he might need a rest but if he's available he starts beside Casemiro
Surely not Eriksen out of those three.I know Bruno is a fan fav and he played pretty well last the last couple of games but I’d have Eriksen over him if I had to choose.If United go for a physical game plan (play hardball against the youngsters), Eriksen is the one to be dropped tomorrow.Just let Lisandro loose on them
Thought it was at 17:30 CET. Did they change it? Have to reshuffle my day now, damn.
I think they’ll both play. Bruno = product. Even if we want to play Eriksen at 10 I think Bruno would start at RW.
If we play Eriksen, the others will have to do even more kicking but I’d rather that than take out the one guy who gets hold of the ball and passes it.Perfect to rotate between Eriksen and Bruno and play them together in “less important” or easier matches. I’m sceptical to have both on the pitch against the top-teams, mostly because neither of them are very good ground converses and are lightweights defensively. Especially Eriksen is a bit easy to buypass because he lacks speed and tackling skills.
According to Sky it's a 4.30pm kick off which be 5.30pm in your country given you're an hour ahead.I would replace Elanga with Casemiro and go with the same line up from the previous games. Introduce Antony later.
This. That front line is frightening and can cause havoc to any defence.How good is Arsenal really? Does their record flatter to deceive or not?
