My Preferred Arsenal Team To Play Manchester United

By on November 8, 2013

Arsenal end a huge week with a trip to take on Manchester United at Old Trafford this Sunday.

The boss confirmed at his press conference on Friday that both Mathieu Flamini and Jack Wilshere will undergo late checks to see if they will make the trip north.

Wilshere has missed the last two games with an ankle injury that he picked up in training last week but he was back on the training pitch today and an assessment will be made over his availability before we set off for Manchester tomorrow.

Flamini has missed the last three games with a groin injury that he suffered against Crystal Palace two weeks ago, but he trained today and Arsene Wenger is confident he’ll be fit to play so I’d like to see him straight back into the midfield.

While we’ve beaten both Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund without him, I still think we’ve missed his tenacity in the middle of the park and he’ll be a huge asset in trying to stop Rooney on Sunday, so I say get him back in the team if he’s fit.

Flamini’s return would most likely mean moving Aaron Ramsey out to the wing, as the boss was doing before the Frenchman got injured. Wenger seemed to be favouring the Flamini-Arteta axis in midfield so I think we’ll see it again this weekend.

Tomas Rosicky was excellent in midweek but we simply can’t drop Ramsey, Ozil or Cazorla, so the Czech international may have to make-do with a place on the bench this weekend.

Here’s the team I’d go with:

What do you think of my line-up? What would your’s be?

    For me, Wilshere doesn’t make the starting 11. Not that long ago Wilshere and Walcott were guaranteed starters, now look..

    Just change Arteta with Flamine so he could have rest. Besides we will not go there to defend

    i would start the same team but would swap ramsey with ozil, play ozil on the right and ramsey in the middle

    Flamini, Artata, Ozil, Ramsey, Cazorla and Giroud. That will see Man U off on Sunday.

    Cazorla is a second half player as a replacement for Thomas. I would also bench Arteta for this game and bring him on if needed in the second half. We need legs against Manure.

    Ramsey has to play central for me and Rosicky is really important to the way we play… Think Wenger might opt for double protection in midfield and play Flamini and Arteta with Ramsey on the right… We’ll lose some of our fluidity but should be more solid defensively. Personally I go with the line up below, I think we’d dominate their midfield with that, and they’d barely get a sniff. I want to see DOMINATION!!!

    …………….Szczesny

    Sagna…. Koz….. Mert….. Gibbs

    …….Flamini……. Ramsey

    …………………Özil

    ..Rosicky…. Giroud…. Cazorla

    Ozil did better sofar on z right wing so i would prefer him to play on that position and ramsey infront of arteta and flamini.

    I think the team that beat Liverpool and Dortmund is our best team out there, if its whats giving us results lets stick to it. I think every player has been extremely important. Arteta has been excellent and Rosicky has been my man of the match for so many games. For now, I say the best thing to do is to play that team that. Although flamini brings something extra, I think for tomorrows games we should just stick to what has been working for us.
