Difficult one to call this.

If this game had been before Xmas when we had some fit forwards, I'd fancy us to win it reasonably easily given how **** Utd have been

I actually think them playing at home might benefit us as they are a team shot of confidence and the nerves will be there in front of their own fans

Also don't forget they've also been beaten at home by Bournemouth, Forest, Brighton, Palace, West Ham and Spurs this season.

You never know with Utd though, they could step it up like they did against Liverpool, or fold like they did against Bournemouth.

 

considering they are missing a whole chunk of vital players you should win fairly easily even with just the one forward that you have forward .

 

Am a bit torn on this one. Wouldn't mind Arsenal winning in a bid to beat Liverpool to the title but would also like to see us get into the top half before the end of season

 

Yeah, I think that ship sailed a long while ago mate . Win, lose or draw tomorrow, won't make one jot of difference to who's winning the title this season unfortunately.

 

We’re missing a chunk of vital players too though. That said, Utd have been ****in woeful this season. Whereas we’ve been managing to grind out results even with zero strikers on the pitch.

 

you have never had zero strikers as if Trossard isn't a forward wtf is he .

 

Left winger.

I didn’t say no forwards. I said no strikers.

 

oh so if Jota and Nunez are out Liverpool have no strikers

 

Well Darwin Nunez is a striker so that argument doesn't really stack up mate

 

what ?

 

WELL DARWIN NUNEZ IS A STRIKER SO THAT ARGUMENT DOESN'T REALLY STACK UP MATE !

 

TRY READING THE POST MATE !

 

Okay, I see what you're saying. But you missing Nunez isn't a big loss, as he's the Uruguayan Andy Carrol

Your front three are Salah, Diaz, Gapko, with Jota rotating in there

Our front three are Martinelli, Havertz, Saka, with Jesus rotating. And all of them are out injured.

 

apology accepted .
we have Salah and the other 4 are rotated
PS you missed out Trossard again

 

Trossard is ordinarily a sub, so that's why I didn't include him

First choice front three is Martinelli, Havertz, Saka

 

it's a squad game mate any manager whose team is in european competition and doesn't rotate is a mug

 

Yeah but that's the point really. We haven't been able to rotate because we have no strikers, and only Trossard as a recognised forward.

We've got Mikel Merino playing up front at the moment bro

 

Saka for one has been overused and not given rests when he could have been .

 

Yep agree. With Nwaneri coming in we’ve now got two very decent players on that right side, so hopefully Saka won’t be run into the ground when he’s back.
