"I am laughing already because we have a tale of two bad defences. Are Man United that bad defensively? They have one of the best goalkeepers in the world in David de Gea and the most expensive defender in the world, in £80m Harry Maguire. They got picked apart against West Ham and were nowhere near to earning anything from the match. Arsenal have five captains supposedly and not one of them can kill it. Let the games begin!
"Hector Bellerin played a little bit against Nottingham Forest. Ainsley Maitland-Niles is suspended so I think Bellerin should play. Kieran Tierney should be in, but Rob Holding will miss out I think. Arsenal will play two protectors - to my amazement, Granit Xhaka will still be in, but I would go with Lucas Torreira and Mateo Guendouzi. I would be happy with Dani Ceballos and then Bukayo Saka, Nicolas Pepe and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. It is that easy and simple for Arsenal.
"On the flip side, who is fit for Manchester United? Is Anthony Martial fit and if so, is he ready? Himself and Marcus Rashford out. If Arsenal can play a more structured game on the counter-attack, I think they will come away with all three points. Man Utd will try to dominate the midfield with aggression, especially with Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba [if fit] - Juan Mata may be in and Jesse Lingard could play up front.
"Aubameyang and Pepe had chances against Liverpool at Anfield and if they get these chances against Man United I think they will take them and Arsenal will win. It will make life easier for Arsenal’s defence with the Man United frontline."
"The key battle here is who can keep a clean sheet. I think Arsenal’s forward line is better than Manchester United’s at the moment. United’s defence is better than Arsenal’s, so if one backline can keep a clean sheet, they will be the winners.
"Hector Bellerin only came on as a substitute through the week so I would think this would be too big of a game for him to make a comeback. People tend to forget that he was not having the best of times before his injury. Kieran Tierney has been out for a long time and will take some nursing to get back to full fitness. This is a high-profile Premier League fixture, so it is still a lot to ask.
"Arsenal will be better off when those players are fully fit but I don’t see that being the case just yet. They are both clutching at straws to see who can get the best back four out onto the field. Ashley Young is still playing for United - he has been a fantastic warrior but his best years are behind him. There are still issues surrounding these areas, so it will be whoever keeps a clean sheet. One of the attacks will be a bit better, but because United are at home, I see it edging towards a draw with this. These are two teams who have not hit their best form yet."
"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under a lot of pressure. This is a massive football club and the fans are demanding more. I am under the impression that, hopefully, he will get another couple of transfer windows. It is all well and good posting outstanding revenues but it doesn’t count for anything from the perspective of the fans. He will need time if he is given it. He is like Frank Lampard in a way and will be given more time as he is an ex-player who is loved, so he will get more grace in this case.
"Pressure comes from the media, no matter what the fans think, but the pressure is on Solskjaer. He has not been blessed with a great injury list - Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw are all out. It doesn’t help matters. People talk about believing in youngsters but that is always hard when your team is struggling. If Mason Greenwood does play, we can all think back to how Rashford got his chance, and he took it with open arms, so it can happen.
