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.

    Did Berbatov touch the ball before Fulham's second goal, folks? Wish I had gone ahead and played Al Habsi and not Howard. Yet another decision by me that ends up going wrong....

    Obviously no need to rush it, but can anyone see a better transfer this week than:

    Guthrie -> Fellaini

    Jaask, Federici
    Baines, Hughes, Cuellar, McCartney, Clyne
    Bale, Santi, Michi, Taarabt, Guthrie
    RVP, Ba, Berbatov

      Only good thing about todays results is that if you have any players still to play in the bottom three teams, they are gonna be more desperate for the win. Could get high scoring games to come.
