Saturday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 10

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.

    120 minutes or not there is absolutely no excuse for leaving Walcott out of this match

    The first team has been Toothless for 3 matches in a row now, Wenger is effectively accepting more of the same

    If it's all about the contract issue, then sorry Arsenal but beggers can't be choosers and you have to put that to one side for now. They have absolutely nothing up front putting any effort in

      Is this an 'our season depends on Theo Walcott post?', if so Arsenal really do have problems up front.

    I don't know how can Wenger be so confident with that squad. Also Arsenal fans assured of CL spot. Nahhhh, that is very weak side and without potency. Not good enough to play against the elite teams and not potent enough against the weaker ones. No enough goals in that side. Beside Walcot I can't see 10 goal a season man in there.
