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.

    Oh... Cazorla playing!

    FPl points seem to suggest some players are better than what they actually are - Cazorla is one?

      Away at Old Trafford was never going to be his best game.

        It dont matter who or where his ball retention and distribution has been poor and has been for few games i have seen - albeit he has racked a few good goals & assists.....OOPs and now he concedes a pen for protecting the ball hitting the big nose!

      I'm losing patience w/ Cazorla. Been flat last 3 weeks. No doubt he has talent but gonna ship for Bale soon if things don't improve

    Get Theo on for Ramsey and try Jenkinson at LB and see what happens. He can't be any worse.

      Or let Sagna play LB and Jenks can play his usual position.

    ok I feel bad laughing at arsenal. To finalize realize you are only a top four / five club must be painful... bit slow in realizing but painful all the same

    Hopefully he'll get a nice 10 minute spell today.
