What a week for Rushford. Scores two on his debut having not originally been in the squad and becomes our youngest European scorer, displacing Best. Now he gets to start against Arsenal.

feck, that Arsenal team looks good.

Cech
Bellerin Gabriel Koscielny Monreal
Ramsey Coquelin
Walcott Ozil Sanchez
Welbeck

Gone for pace. Will Be a good match

Van Gaal on Rojo on Thursday: 'He shall not play. He's coming off the bench maybe, but no I cannot risk that, I'm a long-term coach.'

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

wasn't that him talking about Rojo before the MIdgetland game?

Rojo has been bit of a liability at CB, Carrick is a better, more experienced option. I recon itll be a 1-1 draw.

yeah, i thought before thursday he said he was only fit to play 20 minutes or so...let's hope he had 3 shredded wheat this morning.

I'm happy to see Varela start in a big game though

And Rashford

Surely play Carrick and Rojo? Blind LB?

Just to stop it being Carrick and Blind at CB
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a feeling we'll see a back three. Varela and Lingard wing backs. Memphis and Marcus up top

Thought it was going to be 4-0?

Varela vs Sanchez

Well come to the big league Varela

Shame all these youngsters starting for United won't even be in the squad once Mourinho sign for you guys.

Sanchez has been woeful since his injury, he will probably turn up today

a lot of them won't, some are very talented though.

STAT: Alexis Sanchez has failed to score in 19 of his last 22 league appearance.

More talented than the Chelsea squad that won back to back FA cup but still never played in the senior squad?

Tactical suicide from us today. We will likely play a high line and with Blind and Carrick at CB we are ripe for the taking.

With what we have I'd have gone with 352 and sat back.

Ddg
McNair smalling rojo
Lingard Herrera mata Morgan blind
Depay adnan

Obviously not Mata in CM. Just a bit further forward from Herreralin

can't remember what youngsters Chelsea were playing so can't say tbh

Remember people saying same about Sanchez before he tore Darmian a new one. Poor lad still hasnt recovered from the physiological trauma
