  With CL match against Marseille coming soon and coupled with 2 straight defeats in a row, I think fergie will sacrifise the fa cup and play his reserves in a bid to keep his squad fresh for the challenges in the EPL and CL.

  Arsenal have always found it difficult to cope with Nani but now without Nani... Arsenal have a chance... Hope Nani won't be out for too long...

  These are clubs in need of therapy at least as much as a place in the FA Cup semi-finals. Manchester United have lost two games in a row and Arsenal were knocked out of Europe. Both sides, though, are also competing for the Premier League title and any success in deepening the other's gloom would be welcomed. Arsenal's last victory at Old Trafford came in September 2006. Arsène Wenger's team will also have to shake off the despondency of Cesc Fábregas being sidelined by a recurrence of his hamstring injury. Kevin McCarra

  United has the advantage, because they were not playing in mid week, but Arsenal did. I think either one of team will give up the fa cup for EPL title.

  how to win this match with this midfield? Rooney should have been rested but he started? fergie is clearly giving up the fa cup over CL and EPL title.

  7 defenders in this lineup lol. gibson and O Shea at centre of midfield? united midfield is going to be owned.

  cui sia... like what soccernet says, playing 7 defenders. I got a feeling this will be like the crawely town game... but the same result will be in doubt.

  Sign... is this the way to bounce back from 2 sucessive defeat? Or perhaps he just too scare to lose in premier league

  13 Mar 11, 01:05

  win or lose also nv mind... just don't draw please. can't afford to play so many games~

• Rooney9

  13 Mar 11, 01:06

  If Fergie wants to rest players because of midweek against Marseille, why doesnt he rest Rooney, Vidic and VDS? I hope united will not get slaughtered at old trafford today by Arsenal. Arsenal to win or even draw this match.

  This has gotta be the poorest midfield Fergie has ever put up in his whole tenure at Utd.

• omgukilledkenny

  13 Mar 11, 01:09

  so effed up omfg!

• Rooney9

  13 Mar 11, 01:10

  I think the formation is 7-1-2 or 7-2-1, either way you looking at it.

• tripsky

  13 Mar 11, 01:12

  3-nil to arsenal~ we need to lose more games to put pressure on the owners

  someone need to ram in an own goal if we are drawing the game

  Wenger, Arsenal players and arsenal fans must be relishing to win this match when they see united lineup. they must be laughing deep down inside.

• tripsky

  13 Mar 11, 01:14

  its probably a 4-4-2. the twins on the wing and oshea gibson in the centre with browny at rb

  Hahah.... nice one.... since he had deal with a poorest defence before with carrick and fletcher in the center back. He might as well try a poor midfield.

  13 Mar 11, 01:15

  Arsenal's midfield must be rubbing their hands with glee...i think their possession's gonna fluctuate around 65-75% lor.  -_-

  our fa cup record is crap anyway... probably not much chance to win. ucl we can give up also... will probably get whack by barca anyway... only realistic title is the league... we need to put in 100% there.
