I truely hate this fixture. We have not beaten United in the league since 2006. That in it itself is a truely shocking stat. It's probably similar to how Spurs think when they come to the emirates.
Yes united are not playing great but let's not forget, they have only lost one game at home and that was to Spurs. This is still a very difficult united team to beat under Mourinho.
I think they will be very physical against us tomorrow and let's not forget, we have just played an emotionally charged game against Spurs only a few days ago.
I also don't buy into this injury rubbish. They will still probably have Smalling and Bailley in defence with Valencia at right back who always turns up against us.
Then you have players like Mata, Rashford and Lingard who love playing against us as well Felllani, who will cause us issues regardless of how bad they are playing.
As for us, Xhaka not playing is going to hurt us as I just don't think Guendouzi is ready for this type of game (hope I am wrong).
We are bound to be jaded after Sunday's game and I just have that dreaded old Trafford feeling once again, that we will come unstuck as per normal to united and Mourinho.
I would happily take a draw right now!
Think our run will come to an end tomorrow

Also have to remember the BT Sport curse. Arsenal don't win many games on BT Sports especially against big teams.

Lunch time KO though.
All Europa league games have been on BT.

I had BT Sports on my phone for £5 a month. Got an upgrade and thought BT Sports would be free for 3 months with EE so cancelled the £5 subscription and tried to see if I could get BT Sports for free but no doesn't seem applicable to meshould I subscribe again just to watch today's game? Worried if I do I may curse things for today's game

Apart from habit of chocking at OT, I am worried about fitness of key players such as Torriera, Auba,...They put in so much of shift in high intensity game against spurs...will be challenging to keep the same intensity tonight..doable but difficult.
I would start Ramsay over Mikhi...and Ozil on the bench.
----------------Auba------------------
----Iwobi-------------------Ramsay----
----------------Torriera----------------
Tank----------------------------Hector
Sok-----Mustafi-----Holding
------------------Leno---------------
Bench - Cech, Ozil, Laca, Elneny, Mikhi.....

Torreira won't be lacking fitness or tired, hes one of those players that just keeps going. Hes a Jack Russell.

United are garbage but you still need 11 players.

I don't see a point playing Ozil and Ramsay together...they both compete for same position and play well there...So would rather give Ramsay a run than Ozil...
