    Yeah, you're really just trying to find the players that are likely to perform during those gameweeks, which is more difficult than choosing players long-term. Given City's rotation, that makes it even more difficult.

    Dodgy defence is the best way to describe Arsenal at the moment, so I'm not at all confident Unai's men will manage a win tonight. I'm trying to think what team he might start, and I'm really not sure. It will probably be a full strength one, or something in the middle.

    I have a feeling Sanchez may feature for us, I expect a strong side. We will start quick though our fitness is not great Jose had a unfit side with his negative tactics and Ole is very much high tempo so still a work in progress, final quarter of the game its guaranteed United will drop off energy wise.

    Won't surprise me if Sánchez scores against Arsenal!
    United probably have some adapting to go through post-Mourinho, but the same applies with Arsenal post-Wenger. The Arsenal squad is far away from where Unai wants it, one would imagine – particularly defensively. It's an open match on paper though.

    I wont say it will be a goal fest or ill jinx it, if anything it will show United fans where Ole is tactically

    Every game predicted as a goal fest turns out to be a 1-0 game or something, so we better not do so! :))

    How will they decide things if it's a draw again? A second fixture or added time + penalties?

    That game was lost when Sokratis left the pitch. No chance winning this.

    Can't win the game with a defence like that. Unfortunately Arsenal won't get a penny from Kroenke to buy players with, so Unai faces an difficult task achieving anything.

    Unfortunately not the same central defenders as that match, now that Sokratis went off.

    Won't feel comfortable turning on again unless Arsenal makes it 2-2!
