Team vs. Man Utd

I expect something like this:

-----------------------Szczesny-----------------------
--Jenkinson--Djourou--Vermaelen--Sagna--
-----------------------Koscielny-----------------------
-------------Ramsey----------Rosicky--------------
-Walcott-------------v.Persie-----------Arshavin-

Subs: Fabianski, Miquel, Traore, Lansbury, Chamberlain, Miyaichi, Chamakh

Not really much choice as I see it. Not a very strong line-up, but with Gerinho, Song and Frimpong suspended, there's not really very much choice. We might see Koscielny in the CB position with Djourou in DM as he has played there before, but Wenger will pick the one who has trained there the past few days.

Another option would be to play Lansbury in a three man-midfield, but that doesn't make much sense as then we lose an attacking option for later on in the game. Or we could play Lansbury instead of Rosicky and then be able to bring him on later on, but I don't think Wenger will do that either.

If we go behind and need some extra attacking power, we are pretty much screwed, as only Chamakh has premier league experience, even if he hasn't played well for ages. Miyaichi and Chamberlain are both very fast, and Lansbury tries VERY hard, but they do not have the experience and might find it difficult to make cameo's against Man Utd.

With this team, we may be pretty strong defensively, but attacking we lack options off the bench. I expect us to try our usual game, but it will only work if our five primary attackers (van Persie, Walcott, Arshavin, Ramsey and Rosicky) have good game and the defense is solid the whole way through.

Prediction: Man Utd 2 - 1 Arsenal
Rooney 37'
Welbeck 58'
van Persie 83'
