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.

    Gareth Bale you have 45mins otherwise you WILL NEVER...ever...EVER be a part of my fantasy team ever again, and you shall join the bucktoofus diving racist bar-steward Suarez on the list of 'untouchable for life' players, being stripped of your present captaincy, and transferred out the second the last champions league match involving English teams finishes on Wednesday (and any potential pickups in the Europa League, if thats even on this week?)!!!!

    you've been warned Gareth.

        b#llocks and b#llocks to both the above comments. He is just as frustrating as Suarez and Torres, and with their upcoming fixtures, and the fact that hardly any of my league has him, I couldn't care less for him. Like I said, he has 45mins to change my mind.

        Season keepers are Baines, Mata/Hazard, at a stretchhhhhhhh Caz, Ba, Tevez/Aguero, and RVP.....I could even narrow that list to Baines, Mata and RVP.

    One thing to add about half-time at Carrow Road. Stoke boss Tony Pulis was waiting on the touchline to give referee Andre Marriner an earful. If I was a guessing man it would be that he thinks his side should have had a free-kick for a foul on Charlie Adam just before the Norwich free-kick that led to the opening goal. We're likely to hear more about this later.
