    Casemiro and Evans will be their centre-back pairing…

    You gotta crush them.
    They ripe for a slapping.
    If Palace can sink 4 against them, you guys should be aiming for at least 6

    Utd are ****in gash at the moment, but I'm not going into this game underestimating them

    It's still Utd v Arsenal

    And it's always a big game.

    Mainoo, Rashford, Garnacho, Fernandes and Hojlund will all play and that makes them dangerous on the attack.

    Thankfully their other six players are completely gash so we should get lots of chances ourselves.

    In the last 35 years, I think we've only won at Old Trafford 4 times or something like that. No matter how bad they are, we can't take them for granted because they always turn it on against us. And they are one of those jammy sides who are capable of pulling a rabbit out the hat when you least expect it.

    This won't be an easy game, but logically speaking, we should be winning this no question.

    Good team. I’ve just seen the Man Utd side. If we don’t beat them at Old Trafford now, I don’t know when we’ll ever beat them there again.

    Not a great half - we've been poor in possession

    Thomas Partey needs to wake the **** up. (Bring Jorginho on)

    Still 1-0 up and expect we will play better in the 2nd half.

    HT. 0-1.

    Not been great. Started off well, United grew into the game and we’ve had a few moments to get a second, but by and large, United have been combative, competitive and probably been the better side without creating too many clear cut chances.

    We need to be so much better in the second half.

    To be fair, United have played through our M2M press well, but they’ve bypassed our midfield too easily and the likes of Mainoo and McTominay have found space in between the lines too easily.

    We need to protect the ball better when we have it and then be braver when we venture into their half. It’s been a bit laborious and slow. Need to up the ante.

    This has been so bad, honestly. Wayward passing, not engaging attackers, giving the ball away in silly areas, wanting too long on the ball, not ruthlessness in the final third...just pathetic, really.

    Phew - hardly vintage. Should have scored more despite playing quite poorly.

    We need Liverpool to beat Villa soo Spurs have a shot at Top 4 in their match against City.
