Despite the playful twitter tamperings of Gary Lineker, Robin Van Persie takes his place in an unchanged and attacking United lineup for today’s early kick-off against Arsenal. The Dutchman starts, then, and wears the Fantasy armband for many as he faces his former club for the first time.

Our Dugout Discussion Chatroom is now open and available to collect all the joy and agony of this match and the day’s other six encounters, concluding with City’s visit to West Ham this evening.

The lineups from Old Trafford are predictable. Both sides remain unchanged with Sir Alex Ferguson keeping faith with Ashley Young on the flank, opting to keep Javier Hernandez in reserve, with Danny Welbeck out of the squad. As for Arsenal, they keep Theo Walcott on the leash as they put out the starting XI that struggled to break down QPR last weekend.

Man United: De Gea, Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Cleverley, Young, Rooney, van Persie

Arsenal: Mannone, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Santos, Arteta, Ramsey, Wilshere, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Podolski has to be the worst player on the pitch today... and he doesn't seem to care one bit!

      it's good to see an arsenal player with a bit of a bite in tackles, even if they're not always clean 😉 Even Alex Song at his size looked a bit of a pansy when tackling

    Santos is a disloyal punk for accepting or asking for RVPs jersey during halftime. That's ridiculous. It shows how the game is corrupt and some players have no sense of loyalty to their team.

    and now he kicks a simple cross into the stands. That looked deliberate.

      No players do or should have loyalty to "their team." They should should, and do, play for the team that makes them happiest. As in, pays them the most money.
