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.

    Folks saying that they are against buying/keeping Kün, do they not think that when City inevitably go out of C.L. he will play much more? Good fixtures coming up, so I reckon he can come good soon....

    3 quickies

    1) United coverage as well as RVP important?

    2) City Coverage important?

    3) Having Baines important?

      Created 6 chances today. He has created most chances out of every player in the P.L. I am keeping until end of the month at least.

    Moved

    A) Vertonghen / Torres / Jelavic OUT –> RVP / Berbatov / 4.4m defender IN

    B) Vertonghen / Torres / Cazorla OUT –> RVP / Fellaini / 5.5 or less defender IN

    I have 2 FT, so it would be only a 4 point hit

    What do you think guys? If it is A, what defender?

          There are better options in your team for funds, Verm isn't worth 7.1, Bale has tough fixtures, even money on Caz could be used better elsewhere
