YoungGuns reporting Coquelin could start, big test for him being thrown into the deep end straight after returning from U20 World Cup. Sunu, Miquel, Lansbury and Ozyakup the other reserves expected in squad. Thomas Vermaelen, Johan Djourou and Bacary Sagna are all to have fitness tests. Ryo and Afobe are out. Can't see anything else apart from a United win.
Best possible line-up
Szczesny
Sagna Verm Kozzer Jenkinson
Ramsey Djourou
Walcott Rosicky Arshavin
RVP
Worst possible team:
Szczesny
Jenkinson Djourou Kozzer Traore
Ramsey Coquelin
Walcott Rosicky Arshavin
RVP
Coquelin could start

Looks like Wenger prefers Jenkinson over Traore
I like Coquelin aswell but tough to start a game of this magnitude

Coquelin is a better player overall than frimpong, frimpong has some natural qualities that coquelin will probably never have though.

well coquelin was rated almost as highly a frimpong, and was pretty much a first teamer for a ligue 1 club on loan so i would say he could do a good job

Why not just start Ryo or Oxlaide chamberlain,I know they lack experience but they are both pacey.
Even you can start both on the wings and Walcott upfront with Rvp since you are short of players right now might as well go for it.

Ryo is injured.
We need some experience, we pretty much have to play Coquelin, Lansbury or Ozyakup alongside Ramsey, so would assume Arshavin and Rosicky are vital.
