With Arsenal gunning for revenge against Manchester United tomorrow, several thoughts come to mind – who should be playing and what team should Arsene Wenger put out?
With the amount of injuries and things going on at Arsenal at the moment it is difficult to tell who will start.
Thomas Vermaelen looks highly doubtful, as does Thierry Henry and Mikel Arteta is all but out of contention for a spot in the line-up.
So here is who I believe should be in our starting line-up for tomorrow’s big game:
Szczesny
Djourou Mertesacker Koscienly Miquel
Song Benayoun
Walcott Oxlade-Chamberlain Arshavin
Van Persie
Defensively we are going to have problems. Youngster Yennaris is also a possibility to consider, but out main concern, besides bagging all 3 points, is that we don’t pick up any more injuries.
I think the best thing we can do is attack tomorrow and take the game to United because with there goalkeeping problems and depleted defence we might just be able to nick a goal and hold out. This is why I’ve brought Alex Song back into the fold. Aaron Ramsey really disappointed me last weeks game against Swansea and I believe he needs a rest; this is why I’ve brought in Andrey Arshavin on the left wing and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to replace Ramsey and sit just behind Robin van Persie.
I cannot see Thierry Henry playing a full match. Besides, he may not feature at all tomorrow due to a slight knock.
I do think however that Chamberlain deserves a run of games and although this is a big one, I think it could help the youngster build up his confidence, especially with Rio Ferdinand likely to miss the game.
So there we are that is my line-up for tomorrow. I don’t think for a second that Wenger will go for it, but it could be the perfect time to turn the tables and get a much needed 3 points on the board, especially with Chelsea dropping two against Norwich earlier today.
Who do you guys reckon should start against United?

Arshavin must play in behind RVP why cant Wenger see it? We all thought he was going to play in the Bergkamp role. Still think he could be a massive player for us if played in correct position.

I Would love this team in a month when all are fit, Wilshire i would play in a Pires type role as at the moment he is young and coming back from injury, He overs lots going forward and i remember watching him in youth and reserves. Also song and Arteta have been solid sat in the middle this season.

i would play today defence whoever is fit. Ramsey to sit and help song. I always thought he was gonna be an action man in midfield and not a type of player in behind RVP as he lacks that special something
