In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
Are we having a sweep on how many times Grealish falls over?
3 at the back for City or is Rodri playing there??
Wtf is that line up by pep. 3 at the back. Saka and Martinelli could run riot. 
Looks that way.
I don't understand City's starting eleven but no Partey means I'm expecting a City win.
Be interested to see how Aresnal deal without Partey but that really isn't a scary City team with Bernardo out of form, KDB on his last legs and a shite Grealish. Haaland has to be the difference maker.
Who is playing wing back for City? Looks like a back three?
Numbers don't go that high as far as I'm aware.
Will be in game with Bernardo filling at LB
It’s a back 4 you muppets. Rodri CB and Ake LB.
Bernardo will drop in in to defend without the ball.
Would love ‘battle of the bridge’ level cuntishness from both teams, otherwise I can see this being right boring.
They have been playing 3-2-4-1
Foden seems well out of favour
I like this idea. But we need a bigger point deduction.
I wonder what qualifies as a 10 point deduction?
I guess the mass brawl needs to be more shocking? Naked brawl?
What result do we want here? City win keeps Arsenal close (5 points above us with a game in hand for them). Draw would be similar or even better. Arsenal win would be big step from them towards the title.
City win IMO. Arsenal will crumble away and we could get 2nd.
They still have a vastly superior squad to Arsenal's, so the only thing that has kept them from effortlessly cruising to the title is the fact that they haven't played really well thus far and Arsenal have been at 110% the whole season. That can change at any point, and Arsenal just lost and drew to Everton and Brentford, so it's not as if there's no indication that their form might be dropping.
An orgy
You're right.
Only Pep would do that with a player like Bernardo.
Wise. Makes us champions after City get punished for doing shady business. I like your thinking.
Fair enough. Hopefully he knows what he's doing and sends Arse into full meltdown.
Someone is going to drop points today, so we win regardless. Ideally there's a draw. I don't believe we have it in us to mount a title challenge, so I would rather Arsenal win it than City.
Pep has decided to go for it.
Arsenal weakness is it's striking, leaving defence abit open then overloading the midfield, is a very keen tactical approach.
Having many players in midfield will mean more passing options ( How Ten Hag did at Home against City), then Mahrez and Grealish will double up on the wingers when they have a ball, and when City have the ball Zichenko will need to play left back as the wingers will be hanging on the line, meaning Arsenal will be outnumbered in the midfield
This game will be determined by goalkeepers, 2-3 or 3-4 in favour of City.
Arsenal will score out of transitions.

City win for me. Hate Arsenal only less than Liverpool. Cannot stand the thought of their fans if they win the league before we do. Infact, I don't just want them to lose tonight, I want them to go on a losing run and missing out of champions league place to spurs on the last day of the season.
57 is my guess. Such an annoying player.
The city squad looks ordinary, good -maybe great- first 11 but meh bench . Only Foden and Alvarez (who I don't rate as highly as most here do) the difference makers from the bench. Poor squad planning from baldy last few years.
I get that, but It would be so dull if City just wins another title.
Think we will get beat. No partey, can affect us like that result at United. Only saving grace is that we are playing at home. This is a massive game for us.
No Partey for Arsenal seems like it could be a big loss for this game. Only Xhaka left to provide the cover.
An Arsenal win might help us finish 2nd, but there's not much of a difference in finishing 2nd or 3rd really. I'd rather City win so at least a title push isn't completely out the realms of possibility, as incredibly unlikely as it is.
Draw is good as a win could make City go on one of those long winning runs they're capable of, like 10-12 wins in a row or so. I don't believe we're capable of challenging either but do like to have first two teams close to us.
I'm similar in a way that I don't care about City either (probably because I'm not from England even, let alone Manchester). I wouldn't be happy if City win it 3 times in a row as only Fergie did it before but other than that I don't care much about them. Arsenal are big club and I respect them but as you say their fans (maybe because I know most of them from AFTV
) are irritating bunch.Would take a draw in both games, gives us the opportunity to close on both.
I don't care about city's title. Might have well not have played the league in those seasons for all I care. Their titles are fake, just like their club.
Arsenal playing “You can do it put your back into it”
Might upset Partey

Expecting a good end to end game here. Can only see city winning it though to be honest. Their squad looks far more superior.
